Slog - Comments on About a Soundtrack http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/06/about_a_soundtrack His death was all I knew of him, and its impact on me continues to resound even now; but watching this film, listening to him speak, I was able to separate him from that for the first time. -- David Lowery on AJ Schnack's new documentary Here's the track listing for the soundtrack to Kurt Cobain: About a Son, set to be released by Barsuk on 9/11/07. (Bummer about the date, but what can ya do...) The Ben Gibbard track is previously unreleased. (Click here for my post about the Seattle premiere.) ***** Steve Fisk & Benjamin Gibbard - “Overture”...

by the halfway point at saturday's screening, all i could think was shut the fuck up, kurt.

am i too familiar with the story? really, who isn't? it has been 13 years since kurt left this mortal coil and there was virtually nothing in the film that hasn't appeared in print on a number of occasions.

buy the soundtrack. skip the film.

rather than compiling a soundtrack, the producers should have invested their efforts into building a time machine, so they could teleport this film back to a time when people might have been interested in it.

So what other songs in the movie aren't on the cd soundtrack and which on the cd aren't actually in the movie?
