I put Sofia Coppola  right up there with Wes Anderson  and Scorsese  in terms of making spot-on soundtrack choices. Somewhere  , her latest, is set to feature a ton of Phoenix  tunes. But it’s the use of the old Julian Casablancas  demo I’ll Try Anything Once  (which later became The Strokes ‘ You Only Live Once ) that’s got me hearing it in a whole new way.
