Up until the punching, it was a real nice party...

I started listening to her last year when my sister gave me her cd. It is so innocent sounding yet the lyrics are twisted. and for the movie, it is going to be a memorable one. When I first watched the movie for the duet at the end I thought they sang "you sure are cute for two ugly people" but alas no, it is not that.

Kimya's pretty awesome. I'm not a huge super fan, but I can't deny her greatness :)

The music for Juno though, is so fantastic. I just saw the movie this past weekend and fell in love. Ellen Page was totally robbed of that Golden Globe.

Should have gotten that Globe. What a travesty.

Thanks for the article - it has inspired me to go download the album (hurries!).

I've not seen Juno, but i've loved the Moldy Peaches for ages. I watched the trailer up there and it looks like an amazing film, with a great talented cast and the Moldy Peaches seem like they will be a perfectly match to the film.

I need to watch this film soon

Simply put, Juno is the perfect film. And it can't be perfect without a perfect balance of perfectly chosen music.

 I'll still buy the CD. Call me old skool!

My girlfriend and I were rolling on our chairs laughing in the theatre (the rest of the crowd was clearly enjoying it but there was a minority who was really into it like we were).

Regarding Kimya, I've known her music for a long time - story: I first met my girlfriend when she was visiting Brazil at my hometown, Sao Paulo in 2001. One of our first dates was shopping for this obscure music I had never heard of that she said I would love. Describing it, it sounded dreadful.

She had been outside of the US for a few months and had been trying to find it everywhere without luck. After a few used CD stores, we came across the CD: The Moldy Peaches! When I first listened I was not immediately hooked, it's very unique - but it grew on me. Ever since then it's become one of our main go-to CDs (great for long car trips!). So much so that when we were watching Juno we both had a hard time not singing along.

I hope Kimya gets a little more notoriety with the attention she's getting from Juno - Ellen Page definitely made her a big favor. Aside from that, I think her performance was fenomenal and even though she has not been recognized with an award yet, it's not entirelly unlikelly that it could become an Oscar nomination. She'd have my vote.

Phone: Juno?
Juno: No, it's Morgan Freeman!

LOL!

Edit: After reading this I decided to check out Kimya's blog and she'll be in Philly this weekend - I just got tickets: A sure way to score girlfriend brownie points ;)

adorkable boy and..

hotttttt girl and...

great story and film and...

perfect music!!!

it was all just great! i downloaded kimya and the soundtrack right after i got home from seeing Juno, after I resisted going back in the theater to watch it again right away! I am obsessed with her now, though i kinda wish i was one of the cool kids that knew her BEFORE the movie, ha, oh well.  Download the song 'Underground' by her too, I love that one! ("so i tattoo instructions on my ass, don't ever put this body in a casket...")

And Ellen Page! Good god, how I am obsessed with her! She is hot and I am in love with her voice! Shouldn' t she just tell us she is at least bi already?! Ha, I just want her to be. 

Tomorrow night....

"Shouldn' t she just tell us she is at least bi already?"

Hold on to your horses, Camnista :) It really doesn't matter if she is or not. She just has ideas and views that are so awesome and left field, she might as well be, regardless of who she sleeps with!

And I say this even though she's my daughter's age:) Tee hee.

I was lucky enough to see Kimya Dawson perform @ Southpaw in Brooklyn on Sunday and she was absolutely wonderful. She was beyond humble and actually seemed quite embarassed by the newfound fame Juno has brought her, yet incredbily grateful to be able to do what she loves. She even said something to the effect of, "Please never run up to me on the street-- I don't do this for fame and I just really appreciate you all coming out here today. I love you guys and let's just be friends." [But with lots of adorably awkward pauses and voice cracklings.] :)

I think the honesty and candidness of Kimya's lyrics, as well as her humor and clever way with words, contrasts with the simplicity of the music itself, which really mirrors Juno's character as well, who is witty and wise beyond her years in ways, but also realizes she is young and has a lot to learn.

Juno is, in my mind, at least, the best film of 2007 and a definite must see if you haven't already had the pleasure

I was beyond thrilled to hear both the Moldy Peaches and Kimya to have songs featured in the movie, especially since "Anyone But You" (my favorite MP song) was played! It's sad that they only have one album together, but really awesome that both 
Kimya and Adam are still releasing material. Glad that they're getting exposure over this. :)

Oh, and I loved that Sonic Youth was also on the soundtrack! 

the Moldy Peaches are the most under-rated artists out there, im glad they got the kind of exposure they did in Juno. it'll tell more people out there about what an awesome thing they're missing out.

But I think anti-folk is in general under-rated (and expecially in the US)

I fell in love with the Moldy Peaches shortly after they broke up - I would do just anything to have the chance to see them ...

But to be honest, I like Adam Green better than Kimya ... don't know why, but I can't listen to her solo tracks ...

i've been hearing her name/moldy peaches around for years now, yet i could never find anything on them for real (none of their albums are around down here) so i'm glad to hear her sound finally..yeah.

I think i might go see Juno tonight after work if it's not too late.

I got a dick like a mule...with a big dick.

this soundtrack is like so boss. all of my friends completly agree too, this isn't the kind of music i would normaly lsren, but it is so completly awesome. Its funny,i'd find myself waking at school singing some of the songs, and everyone would be like "oh, you saw Juno???, i love that song"  and like 10 of my fiends have a song from the soundtrack on their miespacio

"When I am right, no one remebers. When I am wrong, no one forgets."

 "Sup Kare" "Effing Brian"

"Wha Happen????"

love her! love her work! love juno!!!!

definitely everything i was looking for in a movie, soundtrack, and artist

i recommend you go watch the movie and then go buy the soundtrack and then go buy more of their albums just b/c you're about half guaranteed to love it! you should also check out Tegan And Sara! they're great too if you like indie!
