About a Boy (thing)

Artist: Badly Drawn Boy
Badly Drawn Boy was given the challenge by Nick Hornby himself (a man clearly very passionate about music) to create the soundtrack for the new movie by the same title, About A Boy.

Movie soundtracks can be like great mix tapes, they can be something to help a lost movie go-er through the finer points of a plot, or they can be shit. Most often, when one artist does an entire soundtrack, it's the later. In this case however, Badly Drawn Boy has risen to the occasion. This is one of the best single artist not fully instrumental movie soundtracks I have ever heard. That said, here's the track list already.

Track list:

1. Exit Stage Right
2. A Peak You Reach
3. Something To Talk About
4. Dead Duck
5. Above You, Below Me
6. I love N.Y.E.
7. Silent Sigh
8. Wet, Wet, Wet
9. River-Sea-Ocean
10. S.P.A.T.
11. Rachel's Flat
12. Walking Out Of Stride
