What I am Listening To: The Life Aquatic

Wes Anderson fans know this quirky movie about Steve Zissou, an aquatic explorer who is reunited with his estranged son and together they search for the shark that killed Steve's his best friend. The soundtrack drew me in with numerous David Bowie songs done by Bowie and Seu Jorge. Seu Jorge is the Portugese speaking guitarist that appears at the end of many of the scenes playing Bowie. Somehow to me, Bowie in Portugese is awesome. What surprised me is the original music is composed by Mark Mothersbaugh. Mark has become an established composer after years being the front man for DEVO. His original songs are well written and fit the scenes perfectly.  Mark's website has some portfolio work and a really cool interface: Mark Mothersbaugh
