Ben Gibbard Helps Soundtrack Kurt Cobain's Life

The life and work of Kurt Cobain will long be discussed, theorized and anayzed. To that end, rock journalist and author Michael Azerrad presents 'About a Son,' a film that documents the Nirvana frontman's life, using more than 25 hours of never-before-heard audiotaped interviews between Azerrad and Cobain.

The movie, which opens in New York and L.A. on October 3, set is set to music compiled by producer Steve Fisk and Death Cab for Cutie's Ben Gibbard, with the soundtrack featuring audio excerpts from the film as well as covers by Gibbard, Half Japanese and more.
