A little help...

(1/3) > >>

Merkava:
Amazingly, my final project in English for Catcher in the Rye is to make a soundtrack for it. The songs can relate to a certain part in the story or just represent the ideas and themes throughout the book. I need at least 10 tracks.

So far, I have...

Modest Mouse - The World at Large (theme)
The Dismemberment Plan - The Jitters (theme)
Death Cab for Cutie - Information Travels Faster (theme)
Death Cab for Cutie - Coney Island (the scene with Holden and Pheobe at the merry-go-round)

I'm sure a lot of you know my musical tastes, so yeah. Recomendations...

Gryff:
Nick Cave - People ain't no good.

Maybe?

Merkava:
That works pretty well, actually. Holden sees everyone as bad and rotten and the verses work somewhat with his dream of moving out to the country and marrying someone (though the person isn't deaf in the song :P) while living a secluded life away from others.

I've also noticed a lot of The Walkmen's songs fit with the theme of the book. I should have known, since they very effectively emit the spirit of old New York.

Gryff:
You could probably get some Tom Waits in there...

Also, trying to think of a suitable Flaming Lips song...

hmm.

surefunk:
well, it's been a long time since i read catcher in the rye, but when you mentioned holden wanting to move to the country, i thought of the Smog song "let's move to the country."  not sure how relevant it is, but maybe it'll help.  
it's the first song on the album "knock knock"
good luck with the project.
