Columbia's '21' courts the music crowd

Columbia Pictures' "21,"  a tale of MIT students who stage a Las Vegas heist, is coming complete with a critics-approved soundtrack, featuring acclaimed dance-rockers LCD Soundsystem, rock band of the moment MGMT and last year's darling's, Peter Bjorn & John, among others. Likewise, the film will court the music geeks with a premiere and party at South by Southwest in Austin, Texas, next month.

Leading off the soundtrack will be a remix of the Rolling Stones' "You Can't Always Get What You Want" from Soulwax, but the centerpiece of the score will surely be "Big Ideas," a new track from LCD Soundsystem, said to be composed specifically for the film, according to the press release, meaning it is, at the very least, eligible for voting in the best Oscar song category.

The rest of the soundtrack features a number of previously released dance/rock tunes, including Rihanna's "Shut Up and Drive" and Mark Ronson's "LSF," featuring long-forgotten British rockers Kasabian.

Tracklist below, but since the LCD Soundsystem cut isn't online to preview yet, here's the trailer, which courts the music-informed crowd itself, thanks to use of Spoon's "My Mathematical Mind." The film, starring Jim Sturgess, Kate Bosworth, Laurence Fishburne and Kevin Spacey opens March 28, and the soundtrack is out on the 18th.

Kasabian, long forgotten??? Maybe in the States but they are the biggest thing going in most of the rest of the world...sounds like a great album though!
