[quote=40337]@Mateo, I don’t think I know the story. Do tell! Or have a link to an article?[/quote]It's been years and I'm at work so please excuse my butchery. The info came from one of the docs included as a special feature on the original DVD release. The short of it is that the director used DJ Shadow's commercially available tunes as stand in music whilst editing the film. A not uncommon practice (see how North's 2001 score became "unused"). Anyway, someone showed the rough cut to Shadow and he dug it so much that he worked with the director to pick songs from his existing catalog to score the film and he even wrote two new tracks to boot. There's a lot more color in the doc. I'll look for a YouTube link later.
