The highest points include Calvin Johnson's opening speech on the underground vs. popular music during the Reagan era. Brent from Further's reason for signing with an "alcoholic who has a dream of starting an indie label" over a major label. Unwound's "Arboretum", a slow, but heavy indie rock head wound. And Chisel's "Spectacles," a winding, melody-rich, bare bones rock song with a hardcore edge.

If you've seen the film, the soundtrack will surely be a treat. If you haven't seen the film, the soundtrack will act as a constant reminder you should. I'll give this a B+.
