LOS ANGELES (Reuters) -
Two months after the soundtrack to
the pregnant-teen comedy "Juno" hit No. 1 on the U.S. album
charts, a second volume is being prepared for digital-only
release.
"Juno B-Sides: Almost Adopted Songs," a 15-track collection
boasting a ditty performed by star Ellen Page, will debut
exclusively through iTunes for a suggested list price of $9.99
on April 8, distributor Rhino Records said.
The album will be available through all digital service
providers on May 13. There are currently no plans for a
physical release.
"None of these songs made the movie, but they are all
essential members of the Junoverse," the film's director, Jason
Reitman, writes in the liner notes.
Olympia, Wash.-based singer/songwriter Kimya Dawson, whose
music was prominently featured in the film and the first
soundtrack, is back with a pair, including a cover of "All I
Want Is You," the wistful love tune performed over the film's
opening credits.
The man behind that song, children's entertainer Barry
Louis Polisar, also returns, as do Scottish band Belle and
Sebastian and Buddy Holly. The soundtrack is rounded out by
tunes from indie rock bands Yo La Tengo and Jr. James & The
Late Guitar, as well as Boston girl group the Bristols, Mexican
combo Trio Los Panchos, and Brazilian bossa nova icon Astrud
Gilberto.
Page performs "Zub Zub," a song written by the film's
Oscar-winning screenwriter, Diablo Cody, for a scene that was
eventually cut for time. Page's character bemoans her fate with
such lines as "he filled me with baby batter, then we ate some
orange tic tacs after."
Reitman said the scene provided one of his favorite
memories. "I just remember directing with my daughter strapped
to my chest in a BabyBjorn (baby carrier) and the whole crew
watching on as Ellen noodled around on guitar."
The original "Juno" soundtrack reached No. 1 on the
Billboard 200 in January, becoming the first chart-topper in
archival specialist Rhino's 30-year history
