Andre 3000 and Big Boi of Outkast fame are about to release their highly anticipated follow-up to the “Speakerboxx/Love Below” double-album (if you haven’t checked it out properly, please do so right away, because believe you me: it’s a future classic, and I’m not talking about that Hey Ya rockabilly type of thing, I’m talking real soul music here). Anyway, the new album is called Idlewild…

So far nothing special indeed. The thing is, it’s actually a soundtrack, with an actual motion picture accompanying the score, or vice versa. The film is called Idlewild too, no idea when it’ll reach European cinemas, but here are some samples of the film:

Visually speaking it has that over-all “Oh brother where art thou” feel, which is just brilliant. Musically speaking there’s some old, some new. The old stuff here is mainly from the forementioned Speakerboxx album. Although fragment three has the illest live version of “Movin Cool (The After-Party)”!

And whaddayaknow Terrence Howard is in it too, I’m expecting quite some blockbustin’ material from this man in the near future.
I hear g!rls screaming already. Can’t really blame them.

This could well be Borat’s inspiration.
It’s the story of a Turkish bloke travelling around making friends.

Look he even had frontpage coverage in his homeland! (lefthand side, read: Staarid internetist.)
You don’t believe me? He was right around the corner, Grand Place Brussels. Wowaweewa!
