I'm still trying to decide whether Wes Anderson jumped the shark with The Fantastic Mr. Fox, but there's no denying the fact that the man knows how to put together a delicious soundtrack. Somehow all of the silly and twee things that annoy me in his films are much more tolerable when you pare away the actual movie part of the movie.
This is probably why I enjoy Nicholas Gurewitch's (creator of the excellent Perry Bible Fellowship) soundtrack for the fictional Wes Anderson movie The Cloud Photographers. It features music from The Zombies, Bell and Sebastian, cross-ethnic covers of a few 60's pop hits and lots of really obscure stuff that you've probably never heard of before. The only thing missing is a healthy dash of Bowie.
Enjoy.
