Hedwig and the Angry Inch

The other night I watched Hedwig and the Angry Inch for the first time in awhile. I had forgotten how great it was, because my DVD was lost somewhere during my move to/from Utah. Toootaly bummer. Anyway the music, all written by Stephen Trask, is all very well-done and makes Hedwig a Rocky Horror Picture Show for a new century.

These songs were culled from the tribute compilation called Wig in a Box with big stars like Frank Black, Robyn Hitchcock, Yo La Tengo and Yoko Ono, Cyndi Lauper, Polyphonic Spree and Sleater-Kinney doing the songs from the movie.

The Bens-Wicked Little Town (Tommy Gnosis version)
Spoon-Tear Me Down (with saxophones!!!)

Buy Wig in a Box.

Catch Hedwig and the Angry Inch and several other great movies (Before Night Falls, Boys Don't Cry, and Velvet Goldmine) during IFC's Queer Month, all through July.
