Into the Wild

Trying to read Jon Krakauer's Into the Wild before the film opens, but I don't think I'll make it. That sucks. But I'm trying anyway.

Early opinions of the film seem sort of mixed; I don't really care.

This is one hell of a music video.



Eddie Vedder and Corin Tucker covering Indio's "Hard Sun," from a looooong out of print CD called Big Harvest. At last check, Amazon had one used copy for $224. Whatever.

Vedder's soundtrack is pretty stellar. Some of the songs are too short to be considered "songs" -- they're more like snippets or ideas for songs that never come to fruition or really go anywhere. Then again, that's Christopher McCandless, in a way.

I can't wait for this film.
