Almost Famous another uncredited track

Another track not on the OST (official soundtrack) for Almost Famous is Tangerine by Led Zepplin. This is the track leading into the end credits as William begins his interview and Russell says "To begin with... everything.."

To confirm it wasn't on the OST I checked on Amazon, and someone has kindly listed ALL the tracks from the movie. See Almost Famous soundtrack on Amazon.

Almost Famous uncredited track

Apart from Almost Famous being a great movie, it also has a number of tracks that are played for a few seconds, are not credited, or are not on the soundtrack. An example being when Penny is taking William through the Hyatt with the Zepplin fan and he stops to hear a couple singing "Please stay, I wanna hear you play.." and if you can hear it, the words that follow are "..small time blues". The song is Small Time Blues by Pete Droge, and according to a thread on SongFacts is a tribute to Gram Parsons and Emmylou Harris.

The track features in full as an extra on the Almost Famous - The Bootleg Cut (Director's Edition) 2000 DVD.

If you're in the US you can also get the track Pete Droge 'Small Time Blues (Acoustic)' from MSN Music. If you're elsewhere in the world and you know who sells it let me know because I can't find it!

It's a Girl Thing ~ by My Life Story

I seem to have a habit of liking obscure tracks from movies or TV. One such track is It's a Girl Thing which featured in the opening credits of Teachers Season 2 (UK Channel 4 drama). Finding the actual track was relatively easy with such lyrics as "She removed your name from the speed dialer screen. And now you don't exist yeah cos it's a girl thing". Buying the track was harder. iTunes and the like are pretty useless for anything out of the ordinary. However, I did find the track on Amazon! It's a Girl Thing - My Life Story.
