It’s cinema season post-Christmas, and last night we caught Ben Stiller’s The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty.  While the film is worth seeing (perhaps not your first choice amongst the other outstanding options currently screening), what grabbed our attention most were the film’s outstanding songs performed by José González (Junip).  While his Junip ensemble produced one of our favorite albums of 2013, González’s solo work on this new film is also outstanding.  To sample, first check out Step Out below, with its grandeur and anthemic qualities that would not be out of place on an Arcade Fire album.  The track also features St. Vincent’s Annie Clark.  After, listen to a more typical González offering with the video for Stay Alive in which González plays Walter Mitty.  It’s a beauty penned by Ryan Adams.  The world is going gonzo for José González.
