More Stuff to Know (Dallas, TX USA)

I will fully admit to being a Gilmore Girls fan. I haven't seen the show regularly in a couple of years but am buying up the seasons as they come available on DVD. Perhaps I'll be surprised at recent episodes, I don't know. But I've always loved the innocent, raw spirit that the show possessed. Undoubtedly I had a certain curiosity for this soundtrack because the music in the show is so quirky and fun, and quite honestly, I wanted to hear more than the snippets presented in the show.
But I did not buy the CD for myself. If I had, perhaps I would have rated it higher, but I doubt it. I purchased this CD for my niece; and as all aunts should, I listened to the CD for appropriate content. It's a good thing I did. My niece will never get to hear the other great songs presented because no pre-teen should hear this chorus in a song: "Life is unfair. Kill yourself or get over it." Those words and sentiments are inappropriate for anyone, let alone a teen.
Overall, it's a real shame that some otherwise okay songs are now tainted by association. I'll probably download the few good songs to my computer and delete the rest. Then I can hide away the CD for no one else to hear.
 My little snippet of music love December 29, 2004

I used to be a huge Gilmore Girls fan, I'll be honest. But when Jess left the last time, and Rory took a dive, I stopped. I still love Amy Sherman Palladino, but I can't bear to watch the show decline.
However, I've wanted the soundtrack for forever and bought it today and am incredibly pleased I did. I love the Joey Ramone track, pretty much the whole thing except for the Child Psychology track. It doesn't sit right with me for some reason. However.. the music is great, it's an awesome collection, and the liner notes are a fun read. More of Amy Sherman Palladino's creativity. So.. go for it, it's a most worthy buy.
 Just like an invitation October 11, 2002

It is, just like an invitation to enter their little corner of the world just as we do every Tuesday. This CD is a collection of eclectic songs that somehow manages to transport you to that wacky little town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut. You can practically hear the Gilmore Girls bickering as you sip your coffee! There's also some fantastic pictures and liner notes in the cover. Including one of Lane's "Korea=Death" postcard from Season 2. It's a fantastic must-have for any Gilmore Girls fan, and any fan of music in general. Every song drudges up a different feeling, often ones you'll associate with things that happened in the episodes, or to you. Like falling in love for the first time, being a kid or a kid-at-heart, and the awe that the world can provide you with. The cues, more commonly known among fans as the "la-la's" provide a little something special to this soundtrack. It really is a wonderful world when you own Our Little Corner of the World.
An acquired taste, but a great CD nonetheless. March 6, 2003

The first couple of times I listened to this CD, I didn't enjoy it that much. In fact, I thought it was pretty weird. So I put it away for a couple of months. But a couple of weeks ago I decided to listen to it again, and since then it hasn't left my CD player. I don't know what it is about it that made it "click" this time, but it sure did.The song choices on this CD are very eclectic, which may be a turn-off to some. But I encourage you to stick with it, even if you're a fan of more traditional, "pop" music. Quite a few of these songs/artists aren't well known, but all are treasures. My personal favorites are the songs by the Shins, XTC, Ash, Slumber Party, Elastica, and PJ Harvey. You'll also find the cute "la la" clips that are part of what makes the show so unique. All in all, I definitely reccomend this CD. Even if it doesn't strike a chord with the first listen or two, give it another try, and you'll probably learn to love it just as much as I do. :)
All the great tunes!! August 21, 2005

Love the show Gilmore Girls since the very beginning and love all the great array of music that has always graced the show! I was happy to find out about this eclectic mix of songs from the show and even happier when I received it!! It is great, not only the music which ranges from the Ramones to Bjork and The Shins, but it is funny when you can place the song with the episode, it is fun!! A definite have CD for the Gilmore Girls fan and any music lover!!!
