Comment:

Earlier tonight I was watching Rushmore again before getting ready to leave school and visit my hometown. I felt like I needed something poppy, wistful and vaguely fey (granted, not so vaguely with Belle and Sebastian) for the drive to the airport. Only two of these songs have been in a Wes Anderson movie, but these songs have similar associations for me.

Holy toledo, this looks so so good. I love everything--Nick Drake, Elvis Costello, NMH, Belle and Sebastian, and all the others--but you get a shiny gold star for the Django Reinhardt. I am so impressed. :)

The B&S song is really appropriate because Luke Wilson still holds school records in the 400m and 800m at St. Mark's in Dallas. Good looking mix.
