Kimya + Josh + I......get to meet a lot of awesome people everyday, we have the best customer's and then there is the occasional famous people too! So last night was a pretty busy night for our usual laid back Tuesday. There was a concert at the Bluebird and it featured a pretty rad lady Miss Kimya Dawson who used to be in a band called The Moldy Peaches, which they are still pretty big in the indie world of music, even though they are no longer together. A lot of Kimya and her other bands Antsy Pants and of course The Moldy Peaches songs became the movie soundtrack for Academy-Award Winning film Juno, which in my personal opinion Juno is one of the best movie's and best movie soundtrack's to happen in a long time! Anyways to keep this nice and short, Josh and I had the pleasure to meet Kimya and her beautiful family last night, they came to The Shoppe to hang out before the show. Kimya and I only got to chat for a minute because I had a pretty long line (which a lot of the people in line were on there way to go see her at The Bluebird and all star stuck, but kept there cool) I told her congrats on everything and she also told me that it has been a crazy year for her and her family!
Here is a short blurb:
Ellen Page, the pregnant girl Juno in the film, is credited for giving the film the sound that is has. Peter Sciretta, over at /Film spoke with the director Jason Reitman, who states:
“At one point, I asked Ellen Page before we started shooting, ‘what do you think Juno listens to?’ And she said ‘The Moldy Peaches’. She went on my computer, played the songs, and I fell in love with it. Diablo and I discussed putting a Moldy Peaches song in it where the characters would sing to each other. I got in touch with Kimya Dawson of The Moldy Peaches and she started sending me her work, which was beautiful, and that became a lot of the soundtrack.”
