Easily the most-requested soundtrack in Lab history (equal parts customers and staff). Sofia Coppolas 2003 age gap romance starring Scarlett Johansson and Bill Murray, set in Tokyos towering Park Hyatt, is scored with a near-perfect mix of popular music and original cues composed by Kevin Shields of , Brian Reitzell and ("Alone In Kyoto" composed for the film was later included on Talkie Walkie). The original pieces are peppered with old favorites both familiar and unfamiliar "Fantino" from a then-unknown Sebastian Tellier, s "Kaze Wo Atsumete" literal DECADES before the global craze, s simplebut timeless "Tommib," an utterly perfect use of MBVs best song by a mile, and a tactile placement of s "Just Like Honey" to lighten the mood (can you imagine the state of the world if they hadnt ended the movie with this? We would have never recovered!), , and more. Aggravatingly impossible to track down on vinyl, but thankfully, we still want it just as much today as we did nearly 20 years ago.
