How to make a hipster mixtape using only movie songs
And see our Nick And Norah's Infinite Playlist gallery
Nick And Norah’s Infinite Playlist is about to hit the London Film Festival (this Sunday, 19 October), so we thought we’d dance around the office in celebration, to the sounds of our very own hipster mix CD.
You see, anyone can create a movie soundtrack mixtape. Open with ‘We Built This City’ by Starship, close with ‘Nothing’s Gonna Stop Us Now’ by Starship, make sure you stick ‘Take My Breath Away’ by Berlin in there somewhere, and you’ve got yourself a hit.
Our mix:
1. Wolf Like Me – TV On The Radio (Never Back Down)
2. TKO – Le Tigre (Accepted)
3. Echoes – The Rapture (Superbad)
4. Wait – The Kills (Children Of Men)
5. Metal Heart – Cat Power (Desert Blue)
6. Sprout & The Bean – Joanna Newsom (The Strangers)
7. True Love Will Find You In The End – Daniel Johnston (The Devil And Daniel Johnston)
8. Someday – The Strokes (Click)
9. Phenomena – Yeah Yeah Yeahs (The Ruins)
10. Time To Pretend – MGMT (21)
