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.

First thing that jumped to mind was “Ca plane por moi” but, honestly, I’d like to struggle through the Jeff Buckley rendering of “Hallelujah.”

I would learn to play “kiss Them For Me”, by Siouxsie & The Banshees. I might be giving up a bit of my ‘guy-ness’, but this is Maire Antionette we’re talking about here, and why else do guys learn to play guitar other than to meet chicks!?!

“Blankest Year” by Nada Surf
Bakerman by Laidback
I’d learn to play the riff/song Disco 2000 by Pulp. Then I could also play Gloria by Laura Branigan.
“Semi-Charmed Life” is post-grunge band Third Eye Blind’s first single off their self-titled debut album, released in 1997. It was a major hit of the 90s reaching number four in the U.S., and the Top 40 in the UK. Further, it has had a pervasive cultural impact, getting featured on a wide variety of movie soundtracks. It is almost instantly recognized by the earlier members of Generation Y.
Beneath a catchy upbeat melody, the song contains dark lyrics about a drug user’s descent into crystal meth addiction and his sexual activities. However, the single still became a major hit. There may have been a public effort to disguise the meaning of the song, as the words “crystal meth” are frequently censored on radio stations, or “blurred” out of recognition.
The lyrics “I want something else” in the chorus, were originally “I want nothing else”, but this was changed at the last minute. When the band was asked why, they avoided answering. It is speculated that the replacement of “nothing” with “something” in this instance would make it seem as though the subject of the song wanted to stop using drugs, as opposed to “wanting nothing else” other than drugs.

well, seeing as i’m an indie rock and roll kinda girl, i would have to go with When You Were Young by The Killers. i really love that song, and it really gives me the young Paris vibe. plus, when you were young and marie antoinettes life seem to paralelle each other.
Big Star’s “Ballad of El Goodo” because it’s my very favorite song. I’ll save the crazy insane guitar-god stuff for my second song.
“Deeper Than Beauty” by Sloan – b/c I can already sing the hell out of it, and the guitar part sounds like fffun. Plus, I’m female, so it’d make for a really hot genderbender.
the cure – friday i’m in love
Cause = Time- Broken Social Scene
Sophia Coppola hey?
Phoenix- Alphabetical
favorite song to rip to?
the ramones – pet sematery
Make Yr Life – The Butchies
Obviously it will be “Silent Lucidity” by Queensryche
Daitro – Laisser Vivre Les Squelettes
I don’t know if it counts as “ripping” per se, but David Bowie, “Breaking Glass”.
perfect from now on – built to spill
Definitely something by the Strokes. I’m going to say… “You Talk Way Too Much”, because I love Valensi’s weird, quasi-blues solo.

“God Save the Queen”
all I have is an acoustic, so I do a lot of singer-songwriter strumming. But I feel like I’d have to learn the “Smells Like Teen Spirit” riff to truly do justice to an electric. Either that, or the Chili Peppers’ “Under the Bridge.”
Let them eat… RIFFS.
I’ll Bring the Sun by Jason Collett….
It’s FUN
Would have to be ‘Dirty Deeds’ by AC/DC!
the darkness – growing on me
It would have to be “Since U Been Gone” by Kelly clarkson.
He War – Cat Power… Once I learn how to play it on my new gitbox I will master playing it and singing along while smoking a cigarrette. Trés bon!
Natural’s Not In It – Gang Of Four
since u been gone
European Oils – Destroyer. That riff in at the end is burned into my brain.
