Despite mixed reaction to Kevin Shields’s treatment of Bow Wow Wow, most of you agree that Sofia Coppola’s latest soundtrack lineup is up to snuff. All reports of the film say that, despite being shut out of that Top 40 list, Sofia continues to score her scenes with the perfectly-placed hipster tune. Coppola’s rendering of Antoinette as a Paris Hilton-type party girl may have been a little too simplified for the French audiences at Cannes, but securing Kirsten Dunst, Jason Schwartzman, and an awesome film score is sure to get the kids in the seats. Who goes to the movies to learn, anyway? But for the history students out there, here’s a little known fact: Marie Antoinette played an Epiphone!
And of course, we’re giving it away. There will be ONE grand prize, but we’ll have THREE runners-up, each receiving a copy of the soundtrack (on CD), a poster, nail polish, and a quill (ink well not included). Winners of the Marie Antoinette Guitar Giveaway will be chosen at random on Monday 10/23 at 6PM EST. To enter, tell us the first song you’ll learn to play on Marie’s guit; if you already play, tell us your favorite song to rip to. Be honest, but know that if it’s a lame song, we’ll all laugh and point. Good luck!
Marie Antoinette is in theaters 10/20.
UPDATE: This guitar’s now been autographed by the MA stars. Click for details.

New Order – Age Of Consent
pachelbel’s dream!
Ted Leo – Timorous me
Ironman
“18 and Life” by Skid Row
It’s an SG so I’d learn Thunderstruck by AC/DC.
“Sometimes” – My Bloody Valentine
Queen – Killer Queen
Summer babe by pavement
i’d learn how to play Silverio’s ‘yepa yepa yepa’, and just for that added bit of authenticity, i’d get my hair in a long flowing mullet, grow a moustache, dress in a shiny silver suit with pink shirt and generally act like a nutter…

Queen – Killer Queen
My Bloody Valentine – ‘To Here Knows When’
My favorite song to rip to:
I Wanna Be Your Dog by The Stooges
vapour trail from ride
“One” By Metallica. Thats a no brainer.
“Here Comes Your Man” by the Pixies. I have a hunch that if one were to play that riff while walking through the streets, he would be like the Pied Piper, with a throng of nerdy, bespeckled white girls following him wherever he went.
That, or rats.
I really hope it’s not rats. I need a girlfriend.
first song on my french guitar? Nuages by Django Reinhardt
dueling banjos… except it will be dueling guitars I suppose.
Since its French, I’d have to go with Serge Gainsbourg’s Je t’aime moi non plus. Hands down.
Gold Soundz by Pavement
Blitzkrieg Bop by the Ramones
Cherub Rock – Smashing Pumpkins
It’s my five year old’s favorite song (which may say something about my parenting skills), so I’d learn “It’s the Nighttime” by Josh Rouse.
The Strokes – Between Love and Hate
Vicious, by Lou Reed.
I Chase the Devil – Max Romeo & the Upsetters
Water & a Seat – SM & the Jicks
I’m going to be cliche and say “Stairway to Heaven” will be the first song I will learn on Marie’s guitar. Thats some pretty sophisticated equipment she is packing…no wonder France went in to such deep debt
“the wings” – gustavo santaolalla. yes, this is the “brokeback mountain” theme song.
“I Want Candy” (Kevin Shields Remix) while eating cake of course!
Smoke on the Water, of course
I will play “To Hell With the Devil” by Stryper. Two times.
Naturally, Phoenix “Run, Run, Run”
Big Star- Thirteen
This song deserves a little rock. I might just be the man to do it.
“Welcome to the Jungle” baby!
Europe ? Final Countdown
I’d play French rock – “Ca plane pour moi”!
Europe ? Final Countdown
I would learn to play Blackbird by White Album Beatles cos its ace and intricate but deceptively simple, so I’ve been told. Or Back in Black. As long as it begins with B.
Lindsey Buckingham – “Go Insane” (extra points from the ‘gum, perhaps?)
Europe ? Final Countdown
Europe ? Final Countdown
T. Rex – Shock Rock
“if you know how to rock, you don’t have to shock”
My Immortal-Evanescence
Geek USA by the Pumpkins, once I’d replaced the electronics, of course.
The first solo in “November Rain”…I can barely play it, lots of missed notes and what not. I just picture myself standing on Axl’s piano, and it all sounds good.
Heroin – The Velvet Underground
smoke on the water.
“There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths.
Big ups to J. Marr, whut whut.
“There Is a Light That Never Goes Out” by The Smiths.
