Soundtrack - Hear
HEAR is the enema your iTunes needs. Bringing you the most thought-provoking and up-to-date music reviews this side of Lester Bangs, HEAR sifts through the ever growing mountain of press releases and promos to only feature albums, EPs, LPs and mixes that we want to, not that we have to. Also, we try and make things make sense in 200 words or less so that you can just listen to the music.
'Where The Wild Things Are', Karen O and the Kids
In the immortal words of Darren Hayes of 90s Savage Garden fame on his Facebook page, "Where The Wild Things Are was very special. Lovely cinematic snapshot of childhood. Deceptively simple but emotionally complex". Anyway, how about that soundtrack? Pretty cool huh? Once again, Yeah Yeah Yeahs frontwoman Karen O wows us with unique and heart warming tracks which almost steal the show from the film itself.
500 Days of Summer Soundtrack
Like many-a-good indie flick these days, 500 Days of Summer is one of those films that is largely made by its music. The happiness, the heartbreak, the whimsical moments - all are defined and deepened and etched in our minds through the tunes that accompany them: a near-perfect selection of both indie favourites and rising talents, from generations past and today.

About
FourThousand is a subcultural guide to Brisbane, published daily and fired by email weekly. It is compiled by an amorphous gaggle of Brisbane writers, stylists, designers and photographers who all like huddling under that big umbrella we like to call creativity. Without editorial independence FourThousand has nothing. All editorial you read is featured because it's worth it - not because it's paid for.
