I'm not a huge fan of indie music. It's not that I don't like it; I simply don't follow it. I also am a fan of piracy *ahem* but don't feel comfortable pirating indie music where I'd be hurting the artist way more than a person with a major record deal. These folks on the Juno soundtrack need my money much more than Justin Timberlake.
Enough waxing poetic about the evils of the recording industry and let's focus on the soundtrack, eh?
These songs make me so happy. The songs have a very optimistic feel, which is important to me. I don't particularly like depressing music. I recognize that Radiohead, Smashing Pumpkins, Nirvana, and any other band known for being kind of a downer make good music. Hell, they make great music. I just don't need any musical help to get bummed out. When I am bummed out, which isn't that often (finally I can say this in my life! very exciting), I can listen to some bummer music. On the whole though, I love happy music. And this soundtrack fits the bill. The movie made me happy. The music makes me happy.
Also: there is something magical about a simple guitar and a unique voice. Plain and simple.
