Townies Soundtrack Announced

READING, PA (Tuesday, June 29, 2004) Digital media company Neo-Pangea has announced the line-up for the soundtrack to their upcoming film, "Townies". The soundtrack features over 40 diverse songs that each capture the energy and emotion of this film in its own unique way.

"Today, it seems, we are never without at least one source of background music," said Neo-Pangea producer John Carmello. "Occasionally, the music we hear is chosen because it speaks to us. Often, it is just ‘there' – emanating from one of the many sources of media in which we are drowned. The challenge for us was to compile a soundtrack which represented this diverse, random collage – one that both suited the moods and desires of our characters, and created an occasionally detached, if not ironic, sound backdrop against which our story transpires."

"To reach this goal, we pulled from as broad a base of genres and production levels as we could find. Cory Branan's alt-country 'Miss Ferguson', which opens the film with fittingly cautious optimism, Vic Thrill's driving, yet spaced-out and paranoid, ‘Nobody's Watching the Radar’, and Billionaire Boys Club's straight-forward, post-punk ‘Super OK’ which ends it with a bang, are a few standouts. Every piece we used, however, was selected for the way it is able to convey a certain message, a piece of this collage, in a distinctive way."

"Townies" is the story Jake Slate, a pizza delivery boy/seven-year college student who has come to a crossroads in his life. Down one path lies the same friends, the same parties, and the same feelings of inadequacy. Down the other, a promising internship with a Fortune 500 company, a desk, a 401K plan, and a corporate handbook. In the end, Jake must decide if true happiness come from having what you want, or from wanting what you have?
