Robin Guthrie & Harold Budd
Mysterious Skin

Is it unusual to own the soundtrack to a movie you've never seen? Guilty. I'll take it even a step further: I've never even seen any films by Gregg Araki, who directed Mysterious Skin. He was branded some kind of wünderkind back in the '90s for some of his movies (Totally Fucked Up, The Living End, etc.), but apparently I couldn't be bothered to schlep to the theater (or the video store, for that matter) to see them.

Oh, well. There's always the music. And put former Cocteau Twins guitarist Robin Guthrie together with ambient maestro Harold Budd, and I'm powerless to resist. I'm hoping Araki makes more movies. Not so I can see them. Just so I can buy the soundtracks.
