So the other day I went with some friends to see the Jack Black creation "Nacho Libre." The movie was ok, amusing in some parts, but I absolutly adored the soundtrack. A quick Google search told me that Paramount was not planning on releasing an "official" soundtrack. I am pretty disapointed; the movie featured several new songs from Beck, so there would definetly be a market for it.

With more research I found that the rest of the soundrack included work from several Mexican bands: Los Lobos[/artist}, Caetano Veloso, Esquivel, Gil Gilberto, and several songs from Mr. Loco. Apparently, Beck recomended the latter to the producers after picking up his CD for a dollar in Mexico City. Oh, Beck.

The problem is that I can't find many of his(Mr. Loco's)songs anywhere. The song that kind of served as Nacho's theme song in the film, "Religious Man," is available on Mr. Loco's MySpace page, but that's the only one (he does not have a Last.fm thingie, apparently). It's also pretty readily avaiable on LimeWire if you want to be sneaky about it, or just simply hate MySpace with all of your heart.

If anyone knows where I might download (or even purchase!) any Mr. Loco songs, I would be forever in your debt. And someone must know where to download the new Beck songs… geez you guys.

In return for your favors, I will list the songs that appeared in the movie below, linking where I can…

"Religious Man" - Mr. Loco*
"Bubblegum" - Mr. Loco
"Mr. Loco" - Mr. Loco
"Papas" - Mr. Loco
"Saint Behind Glass" - Los Lobos*
Irene*
"Mucha Macumba" - Esquivel *
"Bat Macumba" - Gil Gilberto*

And the elusive songs by Mr. Hansen:
"Holy Man"
"Return of the Luchador"
"My Heart is With the Children"
"10,000 Pesos"
"Tender Beast of the Spangled Night"
"There is No Place For Me in This World"

* Found on LimeWire

Thanks in advance for all of your help getting these tracks!

P.S. Anyone who works for Paramount Pictures, if for some reason you're reading this, PUT OUT THE SOUNDTRACK! I will buy it! People will buy it! You will make money! And if not, at least I will be happy… that's good enough, right?
