Perks of Being a Wallflower Soundtrack

One method that I have for finding new music is to get the music from movies. Usually a movie will have a couple good songs, depending on the movie. But Perks of Being a Wallflower literally has THE best soundtrack I have heard yet. It has old rock songs and some indie rock stuff.  The movie is about high school kids where music is a very big part of their lives and they're trying to find good present day music. I feel like this kind of relates to the world now because on the radio they don't play that good of music, it's all about the cheesy stuff that doesn't take much talent at all. It takes work to find songs but I love discovering bands that no one knows about. Some of my favorite songs from the soundtrack are "Temptation" by New Order, "Could It Be Another Change" by The Samples, "Heroes" by James Bowie, and "Come on Eileen" by Dexys Midnight Runners.  The music in the movie definitely influenced my opinion on the movie. When a movie has good music/soundtrack, it makes you want to watch the movie more so that you can hear the music.
