I've seen Gummo a total of 3 times.  It's essentially about a bunch of "white 
trash" kids who run around killing cats for money.  It doesn't really have a 
point, like most decent films, but isn't annoying enought that you'd turn 
away from it - in fact, it's kind of entrancing.  As far as a soundtrack 
goes, I don't recall anything specatacular except a crazy cover of (I don't 
know the title) "Everyday, it's a-gettin' closer, goin' faster than a 
rollercoaster..." possibly a Buddy Holly song, I don't know.

Anyway, see the film!
