Dylan, Bowie, Wilco, MMJ more on Heroes soundtrack

Bob Dylan, David Bowie and a host of others will appear on NBC’s soundtrack to Heroes to be released March 18. Also featured on the compilation will be the New Pornographers, Wilco, the Jesus and Mary Chain, Chemical Brothers and Yerba Buena.

Bowie’s song “Heroes” will be featured, natch, as will Dylan’s “Man in the Long Black Coat,” which executive producer Allan Arkush was thrilled about, given the selectivity that Dylan’s representatives usually practice with rights to his songs. Arkush had used Dylan’s work before on “Crossing Jordan.”

"We started talking about including music that inspired us--not just music that had been on the show but that really connected with the 'Heroes' head space," Arkush told the Hollywood Reporter.

Jeff Tweedy fans rejoice, as the soundtrack will have an exclusive Wilco single “Glad It’s Over.” The NBC Records release will also have Imogen Heap, Death Cab, and Iggy Pop playing with Brighton Port Authority.

Nada Surf’s “Weightless” backs the first in a series of five video montages dedicated to the show. The videos will be released digitally via Zune and is currently streaming on the NBC website, where fans can leap into the Heroes.
