Scavenger Hunt CD Post: 04 Songs from the Mooooovies

The three things I love most in the world that aren't human beings: music, theatre, film. The following offerings encompass at least two of these at any given time, and in the case of a certain German ex-pat transsexual, possibly all three.

Surprisingly, only one film made multiple appearances, though will completely different tracks all around. Fortunately, it is the quintessential film of my golden year and the reason I will always have room in my heart for Ewen McGregor... who will actually show up singing on one of these cd's later on.

Ladies and gentlemen, we'll begin with Trainspotting...
