In the movie Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, titular character Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is the bassist of a band called SEX BOB-OMB. So it follows that the comic-book adaptation would feature a whole ton of music. As previously reported, the filmmakers recruited Beck to write all the songs for SEX BOB-OMB. The movie’s soundtrack album, due August 10 from ABKCO, features four songs from SEX BOB-OMB, with Beck providing the instrumentation and actors from the movie doing the vocals.
The soundtrack album will also feature unreleased jams from Beck himself, Metric, and Broken Social Scene, credited to the fictional band Crash and the Boys. There’s also classic material from T. Rex, the Rolling Stones, and Broken Social Scene again (“Anthems for a Seventeen-Year-Old Girl” counts as classic now, right?) Plus the 1997 track “Scott Pilgrim” by the Canadian band Plumtree, which inspired comic creator Bryan Lee O’Malley to name his creation in the first place.
The film, which opens wide August 13, also boasts a score from Radiohead/Beck collaborator Nigel Godrich, which will eventually see digital release. Godrich also served as executive producer on the soundtrack album.
We’ve got the soundtrack’s tracklist below, as well as the movie’s international trailer, which has been causing a whole ton of dork excitement on the internet over the past couple of weeks.

It may not come as a huge shock that I am not much of a sports fan.
Some say its unpatriotic to not support your country in the World Cup.
My feeling is that I would only be a charlatan to pretend to follow football during any big international championship.
So, whenever claims of being a bad Englishman arise, I am reminded of this; the greatest football song ever written by two friends of mine who know even less about the game than I do.
There was never a greater chorus written than the following: “Ball! Ball! Ball! Footie. Footie. Footie.”
This has frequently echoed in my brain in the last few days. I am happy to gift you with a quality world cup related terrace chant if you don’t already know it.
‘The Footie Song’ is by Adam Buxton & Joe Cornish from ‘The Adam & Joe Show’ way back in 1997.

Edgar Wright Saves the World
Conversations and Talks
(120 mins)When it was announced that Edgar Wright would be writing and directing Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World, a collective sigh of relief could be heard throughout the land. For fans of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s comic book about a Toronto bassist-scenester who must defeat his girlfriend’s seven “evil exes” in hand-to-hand, sometime band-to-band combat, there was no better choice than Wright, the man whose wonderfully skewed comic sensibility has given us the BBC (*In the US Spaced was shown on BBC America) fave Spaced, the sheer zombie brilliance of Shaun of the Dead, and the high-octane send-up Hot Fuzz. It’s simply a match made in hipster heaven.
Join Wright and special guest J.J. Abrams for a sure-to-be lively conversation about Wright’s career and an early glimpse at scenes from Scott Pilgrim Vs. the World.
