Which is what you get if you take the title of the Norwegian version of The Hunger Games and translate it back to English.
I haven't read the books, I haven't watched the movie. Maybe I'll watch the movie someday just to know what everyone is screaming about, but I don't think I'll ever read the books. I'm sure they are great, but I sincerely think I'm not in the target group.
HOWEVER.
Some Norwegian paper (was it Aftenposten?) spoke kindly of the movie's soundtrack. And as I was raised to have/born with an open and curious mind towards music; I had to check it out (I mean; the soundtrack to Sucker Punch is absolutely fantastic, so why not?).
It's great. the soundtrack is great.
So to all you other people out there thinking like me ("I'll never get this Hunger Games-hysteria, but I'm glad people are having fun"), or to all you people convinced that this phenomenon doesn't interest you the slightest, I urge you to give the soundtrack album a chance.
i.e this song. One Engine by The Decemberists.

ooooooo The Decemberists! I will listen to that one at some point and tell you if you should check out Engine Driver and On the Bus Mall as well ;)
SvarSlettThanks to the Hunger Games I'm already checking out the rest of The Decemberists' music. I like what I've heard so far. Will go listen to the ones you mentioned :)
