This is 40 soundtrack DL available now!!
 

Album only. Grrr.

Michele

Agreed. Oh well.

Elle...Thanks for the tip and FB posts on the LB stuff. It is much appreciated. :xoxo:

Aside from being helpful to those of us who aren't interested in the entire album, it would be a nice way to vote too. If Lindsey's songs got a lot of downloads and the record company or someone else noticed that he seemed to be heavily favored among the album artists that would be kind of swell.

Michele

I'm downloading from Itunes for $9.99.

Michele

Oh, Itunes has a "popularity" guage and Brothers and Sisters is one of the 3 popular songs. Dull Tool is highest though.

Michele

Because of Norah Jones. NOt sure how there is a popularity gauge when it's all album-only?

I was thinking the same thing; maybe they have a way to account for the number of times the snippet/preview is played? :shrug:

I really don't want to buy the whole album... Maybe individual songs will become available down the road. I'll probably break down in a month though and just buy it! :rolleyes:

Record Review: “‘This Is 40′ Original Motion Picture Soundtrack”
Record Reviews

RECOMMENDED

“This Is 40,” Judd Apatow’s upcoming sequel to 2007’s “Knocked Up,” deals with the lives of Pete (Paul Rudd) and Debbie (Leslie Mann) as they deal with reaching the landmark age of forty. The accompanying soundtrack, interestingly, has songs that deal with issues like love affairs that have reached their expiration dates, exasperation and just being happy to be alive.

The disc opens with Yoko Ono’s “Yes, I’m Your Angel,” a track from 1980’s “Double Fantasy” that was reportedly written to celebrate John Lennon’s fortieth, which sadly turned out to be his last. Three new songs from Fleetwood Mac’s Lindsey Buckingham follow—most notably “Sick of You,” a mandolin-based tune that blatantly points out why the relationship has gone sour.

Fiona Apple contributes “Dull Tool,” an inventive folksy song that might not get much radio airplay thanks to its liberal use of “****” during the chorus. Another great moment is “Lunch Box/Odd Sox,” an obscure Paul McCartney instrumental that deserved a second chance (it was the B-side of the 1980 single “Coming Up” and later appeared as a bonus track) because it is the former Beatle tackling something that he rarely does. (Ernest Barteldes)

I don't know about you guys but my iTunes offered the choice to pay for each song individually....

I wish the US iTunes did. I really want to buy Lindsey's songs, but I hate when iTunes does this stuff (or amazon for that matter). I am holding out for now I guess. Maybe they will change it...

I bought the whole thing. I wish I didn't.

I already had Yes, I'm Your Angel from Double Fantasy and was not a particular fan, so seeing that the album began with that, I was not too encouraged to jump in and listen to it front to back (or back to front, as Stevie would).

I've only listened to the 4 so far.

Michele

Finally listened. I was surprised that so many people seemed un-enthused after listening to the previews. I waited to hear the complete songs, and I love all three. Each different from the other, and very different to his last two albums. Brothers and Sisters could definitely be a Fleetwood Mac song, if you replace the percussion with Mick and add Stevie's harmonies. It would actually be amazing. As it is, I quite like it. I am very excited to get these three new songs from him.

Along with the Seeds We Sow extras, it's nearly 30 minutes of Lindsey non album material. Pretty fancy!
