A
few words about the APARTMENT HUNTING SOUNDTRACK:
The first time I heard Mary Margaret O'Hara was the day her
album Miss America was released. I read a review of it in
Toronto's NOW magazine, and promptly went down to Sam's on
Yonge Street to buy it. It seemed like it would be something
I would like and it was. By the second song, 'Year In Song',
she had me.
For me, she was a unique voice, the real deal. I later used
that song in my first film,The Events Leading Up to My Death.
I also cast Mary Margaret in the pivotal comedic role of Rita
the Dance Instructor and she provided me with a terrific score.
After that we became friends, and like many people I kept
hoping she would make another album. She did make a great
little Christmas EP, but after that there was nothing but
a few guest appearances on other peoples' records.
Last
year, British music magazine MOJO named Mary Margaret one
of the top 100 cult figures of all time, and named Miss America
one of the top 100 albums of all time. In Canada, Chart Magazine
recently named Miss America #14 on its list of best Canadian
albums ever.
