carolinecraneDo you know what drives me kind of crazy? When a studio releases a movie featuring a ton of popular music, and also releases a soundtrack of the movie, except with none of the popular music on it. It's not that I dislike the instrumental pieces scored specifically for the film. If they mixed it up and did some of each that would be lovely. But completely ignoring all the popular music you licensed for the film, including a song sung by your star, because you don't want to pay more royalties? LAME.
Which is to say that rather than buying the score for Monte Carlo, I have spent some time in the past week putting together an unofficial soundtrack of the songs listed in the credits. I have been mostly successful in cobbling together a complete list, but I'm missing a few tracks. Which is where you come in! Perhaps you happen to have one of the following songs lying around, or maybe you can tell me where to find it:
The DC Soul Orchestra - Love Is Grand
Lyn Murray - To Catch a Thief
Kaolin - Je Reviens *
Regardless of whether these songs turn up, I will post my (mostly) complete 'soundtrack' at some point. I'm sorry to say that Bonnie Dune didn't make the cut, but there's a Selena Gomez & The Scene song** to help you deal with the pain.
In marginally related technology fail, I made a couple new ringtones this morning and I cannot get them to sync to my iPhone on my new computer. It's very irritating and I have a feeling it has something to do with the software 'upgrade' iTunes made me install when I synced my phone to the new version of iTunes this weekend.
Unrelated to any of the above, yesterday, in the midst of my latest pity party,jb_slasher said a bunch of nice things about me. And it wasn't even pity, because she posted at the same time I was having my pity party. It's nice to have awesome friends. ♥
Do you know what I wish? I wish there were podfics of all my fic. Is that weird? I don't even care, I love having podfic of "Offside Pass" on my phone and I am greedy for more. You should feel free to take that as blanket permission, podficcers! All I ask is a link to the podfic so I can download it and then brag to all my friends.

** Don't front; you know you are hoping I assign my Selena ringtone*** to you.
*** If I ever get iTunes to put it on there.
