Anyone get their hands on this? Amazon won't let me buy the track. iTunes has an extended one minute and 30 seconds preview but it too won't let me buy the individual track.

i bought the pre-order with the glow in the dark shirt, air freshener, and 2 buttons and of course the cd.

it looks better on paper than in actuality. most songs i prefer the original soundtrack ones. exceptions would probably be the BF song, the matthew sweet song, and the Mike watt song (but prolly only cause i like mike watt)


The waxworks were an immensely eloquent dissertation on the wonderful ordinariness of mankind.

Finally bought this. As shiney said it can't compare to the original but it's still loads of fun. Not a fan of Coup d'Etat and Pablo Picasso but the other ones did great. The best of all is probably Amanda Palmer's "Institutionalized", totally nuts.
