Next month Superman returns with a new movie, Superman Returns, starring Brandon Routh. I don’t know who that is either!
The folks at Rhino are so excited they’ve gotten a bunch of indie bands to record Superman-y songs for a new comp.
Various Artists Sound Of Superman
1. The Academy Is. “Superman” (The Clique/R.E.M. cover)
2. Plain White T’s “It’s So Easy” (original)

Yeah, looks like mostly garbage, but I’ll listen to anyone cover a song from Soft Bulletin. Stream here: Windows Media | Real (NoY’s track is 34:45 in.)
Okay Warner Brothers … I will see your Superman movie only if Kate Bosworth’s eyes are two different colors. I find it charmingly distracting.

Don’t forget Kevin Spacey as Lex Luthor. And apparently Parker Posey is in it as well, hopefully not reprising her role from “Blade 3″!
Covering a Stereophonics song puts you on the lowest rung of the musical ladder. Yep, even lower than American Hi-Fi.
Nobody wanted to cover Goldfinger’s “Superman”? That’s my favorite Superman-y song ever! How about Straw’s “Weird Superman”? No residuals for Margot Kidder?
So is the artist performing the last track related to the guy playing Superman? Whatever breaks you can get, I guess.
I like the Films, but doing a cover isnt helping them any. They shouldve kept the originals. Boo.
Sara is Brandon’s sister.
am i bad person for kinda liking that flaming lips cover???
this sucks
no crash test dummies…shame
Anybody got an Mp3 of the Motion City track?
i like the iron & wine cover of that song.
mmmmslideguitaryeah
Hate to say it but I don’t mind The Academy Is

I generally hate this band, but Crashtest Dummies’ superman song is better than most of these choices.
This has all those song lyrics.
maybe try 3 doors down kryptonite?
