Music on Lost in Trans...

[drainer at mpinet.net]

 It's not new wave or old wave, it's "indie."
 You know, the new trend; bring back rock n' roll... I hear enough of it
here... trust me.

Regardless; that is what I meant about the whole soundtrack affecting people
who have never been to Japan and like the film... I have many, many (I
should say countless) friends who think that this film is a modern
masterpiece.. Why? Because the music appeals to them. Coppola knew what she
was doing.

And I think that the songs were just picked for that appeal; the fact that
they appeal to subculture audiences in the "West" and in Japan... it's a
winning combination, really.
