Pilgrim's Progress

A "Scott Pilgrim Experience" room was unveiled at the Hilton Hotel in the city's Gaslamp Quarter adjacent to the convention center, in which DJs spun while director Edgar Wright and stars Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Anna Kendrick customized T-shirts for fans. Despite frequently confusing "music" with "noise," the songs for Scott Pilgrim's downtrodden band, SEX BOB-OMB, were written by Beck, while Broken Social Scene wrote the tunes for competing speed metal band Crash & the Boys. "it's very much in the raw, garage rock, three-piece sort of sound," wright says of sex bob-omb. "when beck recorded his tracks we sent him lots of artwork from the books so he could put it around his studio and get the vibe of the characters."
