... But you would already know that headline was true if you had read Amanda Petrusich's superb feature on indie comedy Juno. Go ahead, give it a read and come back here when you're done.
Everyone back? Okay, let's continue. As the feature details, Juno star Ellen Page hipped director Jason Reitman to a little group called the Moldy Peaches and its female conscience, Kimya Dawson. The works of Dawson proved to be the perfect accompaniment to the world of the film's rebellious female lead, and so Juno's soundtrack leans heavily on Dawson material - including her work with the Moldy Peaches and Antsy Pants.
The Playlist has all of the details. The official Juno soundtrack arrives Dec. 11 digitally, and Jan. 15 physically. The disc features work from music geek mainstays The Velvet Underground, The Kinks, Belle & Sebastian, as well as a duet of Page and co-star Michael Cera covering the Peaches' "Anyone Else But You."
