blankets, by craig thompson. read it if you have not already!

but anyways, i did not know there is a soundtrack to it! it is by a band called tracker. i just found out and after listening to some sample tracks on thompson's website, decided to buy it. maybe you should too! you can get it from amazon or trackermusic.com.

its strange to have a graphic novel with a soundtrack, but it works really well.

i think all the songs are great, except for the last track, which i think is a bit cheesy, i cant really listen to it.

cant wait untill his new book comes out, and i wonder if anyone else will produce a soundtrack for their novels...

just got it in the mail today! it is really very wonderful to listen to. if the samples interested anyone, i'll upload the cd online, but i do recommend buying it, because it comes with super neat artwork from craig thompson!

Wow, is that ever appropriate.
I will now express my opinions on the book itself:
I think that it is pretty great, except for the last bit of it, which i think is a bit cheesy, i can't really read it.

ouch
well, to me, the last track doesnt really feel like a part of the album...
tracks 1-10 are all instrumental, using mainly electric guitar and drums,
track 11 starts with some acoustic chords and has vocals, the chorus being:
everything is beautiful
everything is beautiful
everything is beautiful
everything is beautiful
