ScreenTunes finds music from movies

by Brad Linder (RSS feed) Aug 31st 2009 at 3:00PM

ScreenTunes is a music search engine that lets you find, purchase, and stream songs from the web. Of course, none of those things makes the site unique, but here's what sets ScreenTunes apart: It lets you search for songs featured in a film by entering a movie title.

Just make sure to click the Movie button below the search box and then enter a title. The web site doesn't have a comprehensive list of movies, but it does seem to have a lot. And you can find a number of songs featured in each film, along with links to purchase the tracks from Amazon or iTunes or stream them for free using an audio player powered by Grooveshark.

You must not have set the mode to "Movie". It returned 21 results for Pulp Fiction when I tried it.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
