"Rainfall" by the Vines
"Refugee" by Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers
"Red Apples" rendition by Cat Power
"Ruby" by the Kaiser Chiefs

"Red Red Red" by Fiona Apple
"Reservations" by Spoon
"Roam" by the B52s
"Ruined In A Day" by New Order
"Run On" by Moby.
I should add my thoughts on Particles of Truth, as pasted from an entry in my other journal:
Though I think it felt consistently amateur, I kind of realized after viewing PoT that some aspects of the story were pretty ambitious. There were a few moments that I realized may have been meant to kind of tease us into thinking we were about to converge into some extremely cliche happenstance, but then went in some different direction to preserve the strength of the characters. It's a movie about two really screwed-up, lost people finding each other and helping each other overcome their problems (which we've seen a hundred times before), but then again, it's also about two really screwed-up, lost people helping themselves overcome their problems. During the scenes when Lilli is in serious danger of being sexually assaulted and we know that Morrison is looking for her at that very moment, we automatically expect that he will somehow bust in and rescue her right before it's too late, and in a way we kind of hope he does, but it's all the more strangely humorous when she owns Stripes with an ashtray and then runs into Morrison on the street, and immediately exclaims, "What the hell are you doing here!?" Morrison's character has a similar moment: After proclaiming earlier in the film that he has never touched a subway in his life, he chases a distraught Lilli into a subway station almost before he even realizes what he is doing, and even though he doesn't even find her and hop on after her right before the doors slide shut in what would surely be a triumphantly romantic moment, he realizes the obstacle he's overcome and well, he's really happy about that at the moment. Both Harold and Elster were delicately endearing, even in their weaker acting moments.
