"The Hunger Games" is almost out, and there's a good chance diehard fans are going to look into the soundtrack. It's star-studded, eclectic, and a little bit strange. Produced by T-Bone Burnett, a former touring companion of Bob Dylan who worked on "O Brother, Where Art Thou?" and "The Big Lebowski," the soundtrack features music from Kid Cudi, Taylor Swift, Maroon 5, Arcade Fire, and Miranda Lambert. And it's already No. 1 on iTunes.
And they aren't just doing this for cross-promotion. Many of the artists are genuinely interested in the film, giving it their best shot. LionsGate's Head of Film Music Tracy McKnight told The News, "The interesting thing about this movie that I've never seen before is the artists were reading the books, and when the deal was announced we started fielding calls ... I was so blown away by [Kid Cudi's] love of the books."

Wicked
+5Anything with Taylor Swift is great. I just hope they do not invite Kanye West to the premiere and have him start screaming for Beyonce to perform in the middle of the movie!
Oh no a musician who reads... shocking.
