Portastatic piggyback

First of all, if you haven't already, go take a look at the spectacular Portastatic post over at Pimps of Gore. That's what a music blog ought to be like -- my hat's off to Dylan.

My own contribution to this is a pointer to a couple of brief tracks from the soundtrack to a movie called Looking for Leonard. Mac McCaughan enlisted his brother to play drums and Margaret White (who's moved on from the Comas and North Elementary) on violin for the soundtrack, which was released in 2001. They turned out a fine instrumental pop album spanning a wide range of styles and moods.
