My Bloody Dahliantine

What's the music playing in The Black Dahlia movie trailer?

Here's a link to the trailer; the song starts about 40% through. It's jangly chorus pedally goodness that makes me feel so happy in a 90s way. I'd like to have the song without waiting for the soundtrack.

Related tangent: "True Confessions", featuring DeNiro and Duvall, is a little-known but excellent film that traces its characters' links to the Black Dahlia murder.

It should be interesting to compare DePalma's film to this earlier work.

Unfortunately the rest of their stuff seems to tend towards noisy techno crap.

death in vegas was also on the soundtrack for Lost In Translation. 'Girls' is pretty good too. but i like this kind of 'crap', so YMMV.

I can't be the only person who--until reading this thread--never realized Death In Vegas and Dirty Vegas were different groups.

I suppose I should really have said that the rest of the Satan's Circus album was not at all to my taste -- but then that's the not version they have in the trailer, and even then, that version of Dirge is still stuck in my head...
