Juno was a great movie and this soundtrack doesn’t fail to live up to the film’s lofty standards.

Released by the ever hip Rhino Records label, the album pits alternative rock standouts with edgy classics. Even the two main stars of the movie, Ellen Page and Michael Cera sing in the album with their version of The Moldy Peaches’ addictive ditty “Anyone Else But You”. I’m not sure how cool it is to like Juno the movie given that everyone and their airhead neighbor is singing its praises but this album is definitely cool-worthy.
The album includes a number of my favorite tunes, including Kimya Dawson’s “So Nice So Smart”, the legendary Buddy Holly’s “Dearest”, Sonic Youth’s intoxicating delivery of “Superstar” and the revered classic “All The Young Dudes” from Mott the Hoople. Packaging is top-notch with a poignant, illustrated cover. Get the clear orange vinyl version (as in the picture) if you can find it (and you have a functional turntable).
