Album of the Day

Set in 1976 San Francisco, the new indie film DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL centers on 15-year-old Minnie Goetze (Bel Powley), an aspiring cartoonist just beginning to explore her sexuality – with her mother's boyfriend, among others. Poignant, funny and honest, this coming-of-age tale respects its audience's intelligence, and so does its music. Between a pair of new songs by Nate Heller - “Dreamsong,” featuring Dirty Projectors' Amber Coffman, and “Run To The Mountain” - this soundtrack is packed with classics that transcend age and gender. From well-known hitmakers (Heart, T-Rex, Mott The Hoople) to artists farther off the beaten path (Dwight Twilley Band, Nico, The Stooges), the DIARY OF A TEENAGE GIRL SOUNDTRACK will appeal both to unusually astute teenagers and to adults who remember the thrill of discovering their favorite music.
