Black Rebel Motorcycle Club - "Beat the Devil's Tattoo"

Two Door Cinema Club – "Undercover Martyn"

Melody Gardot - "Your Heart Is As Black As Night"

Ryan Bingham – "The Weary Kind"

This song is the theme from the film Crazy Heart, and just got nominated for an Oscar for Best Original Song.

I saw the film this past weekend. If it feels like you've seen it before, it's probably because you have. Down on his luck, aging, self-destructive musician is nothing new – but an old standard can be great if it's well done. I love Jeff Bridges, and most of the cast, but unfortunately, the plot and the major emotional beats feel more and more predictable (even rote) as the film progresses. I was just hoping for a bit more. Still, the acting's strong, and the music's pretty good. It's a decent rental.
