Invisible Monster soundtrack
The Pixies "Broken Face" would be very suiting of a film adaptation. Also, "Open Face Surgery" by Cryptopsy :)

Here are some songs that I "heard" inside my head while I was reading IM.
I imagine hearing theme song to Miami Vice when I was reading about Manus as this.. "undercover cop". Haha. I imagine him as this Don Johnson wannabe, that could be why.... oh and "I Ran (So Far Away)" by A Flock of Seagulls. :D
And... "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred - like all the characters have that attitude, like, I'm not that happy with my life but I still will make myself look like I'm so much better than you.
"Hot Child In The City" - I don't remember who sings it (I think it's some guy named.. I'd like to say Nick something or the other) - for this whole "model" life.
And that "Covergirl" song by RuPaul. Do I have to explain this one? ;)
..... and "Hurt" - by Nine Inch Nails. In fact, most of the songs from Downward Spiral. NIN songs aren't really what I was "hearing" at the time while I was reading, but it's more like, whenever I'm trying to think of the whole plot, as to sum it all up,
that's when I realize that listening to NIN makes me feel just like how I felt after finishing reading IM and trying to step back and remembering what I've just finished read. .... like, I'm pretty sure what I just said didn't make much sense in words, but um, yeah.
Anything with Manic Street Preachers on it would do me
i would have a lot of music with a decidedly obvious dramatic flare, to over-accentuate the mood of the plot. instead of sticking a lot of rock/popular music, i would try to do the opposite by sticking in a lot of music from the opposite end of the spectrum, like children's songs, concert music.
not that i would buy that soundtrack, but i think it would fit the mood of the movie better.
Not a bad idea that
Yeah,when I said,"I hope you die!!!" I was talking to myself...Oh and I like the idea of Hurt by NIN. Covergirl by RuPaul...You are my god...And for the hell of it we should put in Conjunction Junction song from School House Rock..that would be snappy do dum.
"a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" haha that would actually work if u think about it, maybe when they go to that old ladies house and they shack up in the bathroom for a little while, suprise the audience with this song, i would laugh
311's "Creatures (For A While". Which should be in every movie.
Disturbed's cover of "Shout" by Tears For Fears, maybe something Courtney Love related...
I like the idea of Manson covering ABBA, too.. or one of those like-sounding bands (Orgy and Powerman 5000 come to mind as well.) I remember reading Stephen King's "The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon" and wanting the music in the trailer to be a Manson cover of "Hey There Little Red Riding Hood"

Oh yes... and of course "Head Like A Hole"

Okay, Lou Reed's 'Take a Walk on the Wild Side' = Phucking Genius!!!
And maybe "Lola" by The Kinks. You can just stick that song in anywhere.
When she's stealing the turkey, maybe "I'm Afraid of Americans" by David Bowie.
when the guys are ass ramming each other: Manson's version of 'Tainted Love."
when they let the post cards go: any ambient noise created by Sigur Ros.
"I'm a Slut" by Howlin' Maggie can also be thrown in anywhere.
Every time I listen to the song "The Places You Have Come to Fear the Most" by Dashboard Confessional...I feel the same way I felt the first time I read Invisible Monsters...--"Buried deep as you can dig inside yourself and hidden in the public eye--such a stellar monument to lonliness...laced with brilliant smiles and shining eyes, perfect make-up, but you're barely scraping by"
during the opening chapeter when the rifle is spinning and the house is burnuing, i picture that scene as the opening credits to the film and the would be no sound, just the creepy visuals of destruction while playing the song "My Funny Valentine" by Frank Sinatra. it fit soo well
just kill yourself

lol yes she is...
In fact I noticed there's a song on Unit relevant to a few of the other Chuck books;
Fight Club-'Just another beutiful story', a song about all the crap in life that you get distracted by/'modern life', about how commercialism and wanting stuff sneaks into our daily priorities
Choke-'world of sleaze', the world sex addicts live in
those crazy Brisbanaires
Well... i dont know if appropriate for IM, but Elliot Smith would rock in most Chuck books if they would become movies... (needle in the hay, etc...) Royal Tenenbaums used that and it is my favorite seen in a movie (next to jack's smirking revenge, and some donnie dark scenes... but w/e)... hehe
Only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love...
(I would have put a kewl palahniuk quote... but that would be weird)
i second that Aqua: Barbie Girl vote! Definately. I see most of the music as disco and such. The kind of music that would be in the Adventures of Pricilla Queen of the Desert. Also, for the scenes were Shannon and Evie are in the department stores there should be a musak version of one of your radiohead ideas or Tainted Love. Hmmm, or something else. I dunno. Good question though.
"Is that all there is, is that all there is
If that's all there is my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is"
-Peggy Lee
I think that for Invisible Monsters there should be a not totally dark quality of music but a music that evokes the color pink or something the Vivacious Vivienne ViVane can shake her can to...like David Bowies "Fashion"......turn to the left!
"Cherry Lips" by Garbage. That song [i]is[/i] Brandy.

for the beginning titles-coma white by marilyn manson
i think the score should be composed by danny elfman (purely because of his 'freeway' score)
for the final confrontation-5 minutes alone by pantera
i think chris cunningham (of aphex twin fame) should direct.
but that's my opinion, peace out.

I think it'd be the funniest thing if they did a muzak version of manson's "beautiful people" to hear it that context would be brilliant.
"for the scenes were Shannon and Evie are in the department stores there should be a musak version of one of your radiohead ideas or Tainted Love"
What would be great when they're shopping if they played [I]Paco[/I]
ground floor, ladies' clothes, sportswear, stationery
first floor, kitchenware, furnishings, confectionary
second floor, children's toys, back to school, and many more
fourth floor, electronic, fake antiques, and lingerie
I saw your face on a black-and-white screen
I knew your name from the checkout machine
you don't have to spend, you just have to pretend
that song would kick ass!

I really dig that idea, actually. Unconventional music would rock....mixed in with some decent rock, eh? I just think an absolutely eclectic mix of every type of music would somehow fit. I mean it's not like anything in the book feels like it fits anywhere anyway. Oh, and there'd definitely have to be some classical somewhere. As if any of that would ever happen.
I'm thinking:
Caesar's Palace (AKA Caesars) - Sort it Out
Jimi Hendrix - Foxey Lady (for Brandy, right?)
BRMC - Red Eyes and Tears (for whomever suggested it earlier)
Christina Aguilera - Beautiful (hey, it's a good song...maybe play it ironically while she's driving to the hospital after shooting herself...that'd just be funny)
It's way too early to think of anything else.
i would use a lot of electronic pop stuff like the postal service:
id use the pixies songs mentioned
postal service - dream of evan and chan
postal service - suddenly everything has changed
postal service - this place is a prison
the postal service - natural anthem
fountains of wayne - hackensack
and id like them to do the score mostly, picked some of those songs because they are mostly instrumental, and some because of the singing
id also like to see
murder by death - I'm Afraid of Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolfe
(this should totally be the theme song for the whole movie. definitely get it)
"i didn't mean to make you feel out of place by the comments on your clothing or the makeup on your face i didn't mean to preempt the chase you're the drama queen of every scene perfectly out of place only cynicism can get through to you expand the image up the insults negativism through and through all of this pretending makes me feel a bit confused you've spent your life losing yourself and now you're marked as used so you cry yourself to sleep on your blanket of snow with your tiara of barbie doll heads and your arms crossed for a pillow if you can't make up your mind just how different you should be reorganize your priorities to expect more sympathy."
murder by death - You Are the Last Dragon (You Possess the Power of the Glow)
those songs would be perfect, as would couple others by them
and finally during the gay bar scene with manus and shannon
electric six - gay bar
during the gay bar scene they'd have to play some cure they'd just have to maybe close to me or a forest but it'd have to be the origanal not a 311 knock-off. maybe like hotel california elevator style when she meets her brothers makers that just the way that place seemed in my head atleast the mellow parts of it though. some germs by acetone would be perfect towards the end of the movie. interpol during that scene in the bathroom while manus gets . . . some then something mellow but violent when they discovermanus and football player-ish freind.
i'm gonna eat your children!
