Shame Soundtrack Tracklist

We first heard Carey Mulligan show off her singing ability while collaborating on a song with Belle & Sebastian for last year’s Write About Love. Now the actress’ film and music worlds will collide on the soundtrack to her latest movie project, Shame. Director Steve McQueen has curated an impressively dynamic set for the feature drama’s 15-track official release, highlighted by a studio recording of Mulligan’s laudable take on “New York, New York.”

Songs spanning multiple decades — such as John Coltrane’s classic rendition of “My Favorite Things,” Blondie’s 1981 single “Rapture,” and Howlin’ Wolf’s “You Can’t Be Beat” — should give the film a bit of a timeless edge, though it’s Mulligan’s onscreen vocal performance that will undoubtedly mark the musical centerpiece. Check out a preview of her cover in one of the film’s trailers along with the full tracklist below:

Kate Bush, ’50 Words For Snow’ Stream

Kate Bush will be releasing her first set of new tunes since 2005’s Aerial next week, but tonight we have a full preview of the great singer-songwriter’s 10th LP, 50 Words For Snow. Complete with analog-based recording methods, bone meal-inspired songs, subtle piano backing, and surprising arrangements, hear the whole 7-track (most cuts are notably long in duration) effort over at NPR.

We’ll be following up shortly to discuss highlights from the record (it’ll take a few spins to decide if we have another “Running Up That Hill” — one of my favorite songs of all time  — on our hands), but in the meantime you can also spin the 53-year-old living legend’s latest single, “Wild Man,” below.

Video: Jimmy Fallon as Jim Morrison, “Reading Rainbow”

Jimmy Fallon brought out his latest spot-on impression of a music legend on Friday night, following a pair of brilliant turns as Neil Young covering unlikely tunes with the “Reading Rainbow” theme as sung by Jim Morrison and a backing band channeling the Doors. The result: he killed it once again, invoking both Morrison’s haunting baritone and furious growl. We’ve know that Fallon is a master impersonator when it comes to voices, but this segment finds him inhabiting Morrison’s trademark skin-tight leather pants, seductive stage presence, and flowing locks to an equally convincing degree.
