My Weekly Mixtape, a podcast that takes the classic

00:00:21.359 --> 00:00:24.359
mixtape approach to building a modern playlist.

00:00:24.620 --> 00:00:27.100
I'm your host, Brian Colburn. Joining me for

00:00:27.100 --> 00:00:29.910
tonight's collaboration is Ryan Pack. host of

00:00:29.910 --> 00:00:32.170
the Soundtrack Your Life podcast. Ryan, thank

00:00:32.170 --> 00:00:34.450
you so much for joining me on my weekly mixtape.

00:00:34.909 --> 00:00:38.409
Oh, I am so excited to be here. I am really excited

00:00:38.409 --> 00:00:40.149
to have you, man. And I'm going to start tonight

00:00:40.149 --> 00:00:43.689
the way I start every episode by asking you the

00:00:43.689 --> 00:00:47.469
age -old question. Well, 19 -episode -old question.

00:00:47.869 --> 00:00:50.829
Ryan, what does the word mixtape mean to you?

00:00:52.130 --> 00:00:56.049
It's a very loaded word. It means something that

00:00:56.049 --> 00:01:00.929
has been carefully curated. A mix of songs that

00:01:00.929 --> 00:01:05.250
someone has personally made for you. I like where

00:01:05.250 --> 00:01:07.549
you're going with that. And that is exactly what

00:01:07.549 --> 00:01:10.109
we're going to be doing tonight. As tonight,

00:01:10.290 --> 00:01:13.430
Ryan and I will be curating a mixtape of songs

00:01:13.430 --> 00:01:17.629
that are featured on 90s soundtracks. And this

00:01:17.629 --> 00:01:20.549
decade, like the 80s, was part of what I feel

00:01:20.549 --> 00:01:24.450
was the peak of soundtracks. As once you work

00:01:24.450 --> 00:01:27.790
your way into the 2000s, soundtracks became...

00:01:28.090 --> 00:01:32.129
less of an important moment that kind of coincided

00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:34.629
along with the movie because with the advent

00:01:34.629 --> 00:01:37.969
of digital downloads and streaming it became

00:01:37.969 --> 00:01:42.329
more of just music in the movie whereas in the

00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:45.609
80s and 90s and you can go back to the 70s and

00:01:45.609 --> 00:01:48.810
earlier soundtracks were events because they

00:01:48.810 --> 00:01:52.480
were songs that bands recorded specifically for

00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:55.760
these albums and then as you got into the 2000s

00:01:55.760 --> 00:01:58.180
it started becoming more just compilation mixes

00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:01.920
and now soundtracks sometimes are an afterthought

00:02:01.920 --> 00:02:04.739
so i like to get back to when soundtracks truly

00:02:04.739 --> 00:02:08.439
meant something and as it's the 90s i have a

00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:12.219
huge bank of songs that i'm ready to dive into

00:02:12.219 --> 00:02:16.460
tonight but i did give myself one rule Now, Ryan,

00:02:16.580 --> 00:02:19.080
you don't have to follow this, but I'm be curious

00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:21.240
when we get to that point to see where you stand.

00:02:21.419 --> 00:02:26.199
I personally only chose songs that were created

00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:31.539
specifically for the soundtrack or came out on

00:02:31.539 --> 00:02:35.020
the soundtrack prior to the band using the song

00:02:35.020 --> 00:02:38.340
on their official album. Ryan, what were you

00:02:38.340 --> 00:02:40.860
looking for in the songs you brought to the table

00:02:40.860 --> 00:02:44.219
this evening? I used a lot of those same rules.

00:02:45.050 --> 00:02:48.949
primarily chose songs that either were written

00:02:48.949 --> 00:02:51.110
for the film or only came out on the soundtrack.

00:02:51.750 --> 00:02:54.870
And if there were any exceptions to that, it's

00:02:54.870 --> 00:02:58.789
because the song is really just known for being

00:02:58.789 --> 00:03:02.349
in that movie. Awesome. With that said, Ryan,

00:03:02.490 --> 00:03:05.129
let's get down to business. Tonight, as I mentioned

00:03:05.129 --> 00:03:07.509
earlier, Ryan and I will be curating the ultimate

00:03:07.509 --> 00:03:10.889
90s soundtrack songs mixtape, and we'll use the

00:03:10.889 --> 00:03:13.030
old cassette deck approach, meaning our mixtape

00:03:13.030 --> 00:03:15.849
will be broken up into two sides, side A and

00:03:15.849 --> 00:03:19.129
side B. Ryan, as the special guest, will begin

00:03:19.129 --> 00:03:22.009
side A with his first song choice, and then I'll

00:03:22.009 --> 00:03:24.830
add a song that I feel best follows up his choice.

00:03:25.030 --> 00:03:27.590
We'll then flip -flop choosing songs until we've

00:03:27.590 --> 00:03:30.870
mapped out 10 songs for side A. We'll then give

00:03:30.870 --> 00:03:33.509
our mixtape a proverbial flip and we'll map out

00:03:33.509 --> 00:03:36.289
side B, only this time I'll kick things off with

00:03:36.289 --> 00:03:39.370
Ryan choosing second. Our overall goal for the

00:03:39.370 --> 00:03:42.569
episode is to craft the best 90s soundtrack mixtape

00:03:42.569 --> 00:03:45.889
possible through only 20 songs. At the end of

00:03:45.889 --> 00:03:47.729
the show, you can take our conversation to the

00:03:47.729 --> 00:03:50.830

00:06:23.310 --> 00:06:25.949
with that laundry list of songs out in the open,

00:06:25.990 --> 00:06:28.050
I'm curious to see how you're going to kick things

00:06:28.050 --> 00:06:30.649
off. So with that, I'm officially pressing the

00:06:30.649 --> 00:06:32.689
record button on this mixtape and tossing it

00:06:32.689 --> 00:06:35.329
over to you. Ryan, what song are you starting

00:06:35.329 --> 00:06:38.649
tonight's 90s soundtrack mixtape with and why?

00:06:40.209 --> 00:06:47.470
This is such a huge, huge honor and such a big

00:06:47.470 --> 00:06:50.230
sort of, you know, you want to start this mixtape

00:06:50.230 --> 00:06:53.800
off right. So I'm going to start off with a song

00:06:53.800 --> 00:06:57.699
from the Angus soundtrack, and it's going to

00:06:57.699 --> 00:07:01.540
be Weezer's You Gave Your Love to Me Softly.

00:07:02.399 --> 00:07:06.779
Ooh, okay. I want to go with high energy right

00:07:06.779 --> 00:07:09.459
away. You're certainly doing that with that,

00:07:09.540 --> 00:07:12.439
and with that choice, you are actually killing

00:07:12.439 --> 00:07:16.079
two different songs off of my list just like

00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.740
that, because once a movie is mentioned, we're

00:07:18.740 --> 00:07:22.430
not going to go back to it. Green Day's J .A

00:07:22.430 --> 00:07:25.829
.R. Jason Andrew Relva on the list. And I had

00:07:25.829 --> 00:07:29.870
Funny Face by The Muffs on the list. So that

00:07:29.870 --> 00:07:32.629
just goes to show how awesome the Angus soundtrack

00:07:32.629 --> 00:07:36.050
was. One of my favorites. Such an underrated

00:07:36.050 --> 00:07:41.050
movie. And I really feel like. This soundtrack

00:07:41.050 --> 00:07:43.750
was a part where the soundtrack got so popular,

00:07:43.889 --> 00:07:46.689
it almost did the reverse where normally a movie

00:07:46.689 --> 00:07:50.810
brings spotlight to the soundtrack. I feel like

00:07:50.810 --> 00:07:53.910
for this one, the soundtrack brought the spotlight

00:07:53.910 --> 00:07:57.290
to the movie. Yeah, I absolutely agree with that.

00:07:57.410 --> 00:08:01.250
And the Green Day song was also on my list. I

00:08:01.250 --> 00:08:03.529
know that we can only choose one song for soundtrack.

00:08:04.279 --> 00:08:06.399
So it was really, really difficult to choose,

00:08:06.459 --> 00:08:07.959
but I went with the Weezer one because I thought

00:08:07.959 --> 00:08:11.040
it was such a great playlist starter. Completely

00:08:11.040 --> 00:08:14.360
agree. And with that, I get to follow it up.

00:08:14.420 --> 00:08:19.899
And I'm having a tough time here, but I'm going

00:08:19.899 --> 00:08:23.000
to want to get this one out of the way because

00:08:23.000 --> 00:08:25.920
I know it's going to come up tonight. You and

00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.120
I have had the pleasure of talking about this

00:08:29.120 --> 00:08:33.450
song in great length on your show. And following

00:08:33.450 --> 00:08:36.210
up Weezer, I think Adam Schlesinger fits that

00:08:36.210 --> 00:08:39.450
role. And I am going to go with my favorite movie

00:08:39.450 --> 00:08:43.210
of all time, 1996's That Thing You Do, and the

00:08:43.210 --> 00:08:45.929
fictitious band The Wonders or The Oneeders,

00:08:45.970 --> 00:08:49.450
depending on your level of fandom. And I'm going

00:08:49.450 --> 00:08:52.950
with the title track, That Thing You Do. To me,

00:08:53.110 --> 00:08:59.210
this song encapsulates pop perfection. Adam Schlesinger

00:08:59.210 --> 00:09:04.740
had such a... Way with songwriting, every song

00:09:04.740 --> 00:09:08.480
he did from that thing you do to radiation vibe

00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:12.519
with Fountains of Wayne to Stacy's mom. These

00:09:12.519 --> 00:09:15.379
are infectious songs that as soon as you hear

00:09:15.379 --> 00:09:19.500
them, the chorus is embedded in you by the time

00:09:19.500 --> 00:09:23.120
the song is over. And for a movie like that thing

00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.679
you do to have a song that is played no less

00:09:26.679 --> 00:09:30.139
than a dozen times in the movie and you don't

00:09:30.139 --> 00:09:34.879
get sick of it. speaks literal volumes. So following

00:09:34.879 --> 00:09:37.480
up Weezer's You Gave Your Love to Me Softly,

00:09:37.519 --> 00:09:40.059
I'm going with The Wonders, That Thing You Do.

00:09:40.820 --> 00:09:43.779
I love the choice. I'm glad that it came up today

00:09:43.779 --> 00:09:45.840
because I would have been really sad if we didn't

00:09:45.840 --> 00:09:49.399
talk about that song. Yeah, there was no way.

00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:53.279
I had so much fun on the Soundtrack Your Life

00:09:53.279 --> 00:09:55.840
episode talking about this movie. I'll actually

00:09:55.840 --> 00:09:59.820
embed that episode. at myweeklymixtape .com on

00:09:59.820 --> 00:10:03.700
the same page as this episode so that if people

00:10:03.700 --> 00:10:07.360
want to go back and hear us go into a full hour

00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:10.820
on basically, as I call it, a tribute to Adam

00:10:10.820 --> 00:10:12.899
Schlesinger at that point. Even though it was

00:10:12.899 --> 00:10:15.639
about that thing you do, truly the episode was

00:10:15.639 --> 00:10:19.740
a tribute to his genius in songwriting. Yeah,

00:10:19.779 --> 00:10:22.580
absolutely. All right. Well, I am throwing it

00:10:22.580 --> 00:10:25.659
back to you now for track three. For track three,

00:10:25.740 --> 00:10:28.399
I think it would be perfect to go with another

00:10:28.399 --> 00:10:33.879
power pop song. So let's go with 1995's Empire

00:10:33.879 --> 00:10:38.139
Records single, Until I Hear It From You by the

00:10:38.139 --> 00:10:42.200
Gin Blossoms. All right. When I think of 90s

00:10:42.200 --> 00:10:45.539
soundtrack songs, this is one that stands out

00:10:45.539 --> 00:10:48.860
to me. It's an awesome rock song. I think it

00:10:48.860 --> 00:10:51.259
went all the way to number eight on the Billboard

00:10:51.259 --> 00:10:54.080
charts. People probably don't remember this,

00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:57.519
but the Gin Blossoms were everywhere and everyone

00:10:57.519 --> 00:11:01.000
had a copy of New Miserable Experience. This

00:11:01.000 --> 00:11:04.179
was a follow up to that Monster album and it

00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:07.419
did not disappoint. And it's a song that I'll

00:11:07.419 --> 00:11:09.840
still hear in the grocery store today and I'll

00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:12.539
be like, oh man, that's a really good song. And

00:11:12.539 --> 00:11:14.580
I'll stop and I'll listen to the whole thing.

00:11:15.480 --> 00:11:18.399
Completely agree. Empire Records where That Thing

00:11:18.399 --> 00:11:21.139
You Do is my favorite movie of all time. Empire

00:11:21.139 --> 00:11:24.480
Records is easily a top 10 for me. And I had

00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.720
Coyote Shivers Sugar High on my list, which was

00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:31.580
the song that the band performed on top of Empire

00:11:31.580 --> 00:11:35.179
Records at the end of the movie. For me, I would

00:11:35.179 --> 00:11:37.940
actually, if possible, use the movie version

00:11:37.940 --> 00:11:40.320
because I actually like the movie version better

00:11:40.320 --> 00:11:44.379
than the soundtrack version. I love the track

00:11:44.379 --> 00:11:47.179
and obviously Jim Blossoms. That song was kind

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:50.080
of the glue that held the romantic angle of the

00:11:50.080 --> 00:11:53.419
movie together. Very light, very airy song. Again,

00:11:53.460 --> 00:11:56.620
infectious power pop. And then coming out of

00:11:56.620 --> 00:12:00.059
that thing you do, it really flows nicely. And

00:12:00.059 --> 00:12:03.179
I think the way I'm going to follow it up is

00:12:03.179 --> 00:12:07.320
jumping up one year in time to a movie that is

00:12:07.320 --> 00:12:11.019
in no way, shape or form a comedy. with a cover

00:12:11.019 --> 00:12:13.580
song. Because something in the 90s that happened

00:12:13.580 --> 00:12:18.240
a lot were cover songs on soundtracks. And as

00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:21.559
I'm scrolling through my list of 30 -something

00:12:21.559 --> 00:12:25.720
songs, at least a third of them are cover songs.

00:12:25.940 --> 00:12:29.820
I know I love my covers, but it's amazing just

00:12:29.820 --> 00:12:34.220
how many there were sprinkled throughout 90s

00:12:34.220 --> 00:12:36.740
soundtracks. And the one that I chose is from

00:12:36.740 --> 00:12:41.720
1996's The Craft. And letters to Cleo covered

00:12:41.720 --> 00:12:46.019
the cars, which on paper doesn't sound like it

00:12:46.019 --> 00:12:50.220
would make sense. However, they did such a fantastic

00:12:50.220 --> 00:12:53.179
version of Dangerous Type, which originally appeared

00:12:53.179 --> 00:12:56.240
on the Cars Candio album. It was featured in

00:12:56.240 --> 00:12:58.600
a montage scene in the movie where they're all

00:12:58.600 --> 00:13:01.919
kind of learning their powers and becoming. The

00:13:01.919 --> 00:13:04.200
witches that they're destined to be or whatever.

00:13:04.519 --> 00:13:06.440
You've seen the movie. Everyone's seen the movie.

00:13:06.519 --> 00:13:07.919
I hope they've seen the movie. Because if I've

00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:11.299
seen it, I have to assume others have. This song

00:13:11.299 --> 00:13:14.679
just shows how underrated of a band Letters to

00:13:14.679 --> 00:13:17.700
Cleo is. They had some popularity. I feel they

00:13:17.700 --> 00:13:20.679
should have had a lot more. But I love the track.

00:13:20.779 --> 00:13:22.639
And coming out of the Jim Blossoms, I feel like

00:13:22.639 --> 00:13:25.360
it's a perfect fit. So I'm going with, for track

00:13:25.360 --> 00:13:28.159
four, Letters to Cleo and their cover of The

00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:31.759
Cars, Dangerous Type. And I know with you and

00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.000
the cars, you have very high standards if you're

00:13:34.000 --> 00:13:37.759
going to put a car's cover on a playlist. Yes.

00:13:37.779 --> 00:13:40.419
And I think the thing I loved about it most was

00:13:40.419 --> 00:13:43.720
hearing the female voice in it. Because the song,

00:13:43.720 --> 00:13:47.759
they don't necessarily deviate too far from the

00:13:47.759 --> 00:13:49.840
car's original version because the car's already

00:13:49.840 --> 00:13:53.679
had. that element of power pop built into their

00:13:53.679 --> 00:13:56.759
sound. So letters to Cleo didn't have to reinvent

00:13:56.759 --> 00:13:59.779
the song, but hearing it from a female perspective,

00:14:00.039 --> 00:14:03.899
especially considering the craft is such a female

00:14:03.899 --> 00:14:07.299
dominant cast worked so well for me. And I feel

00:14:07.299 --> 00:14:09.919
like it elevated that scene in the movie one,

00:14:10.019 --> 00:14:13.279
because I am sitting in the theater at 18 years

00:14:13.279 --> 00:14:16.419
old, watching this scene play out, singing along

00:14:16.419 --> 00:14:18.220
with the song with my then girlfriend, turning

00:14:18.220 --> 00:14:20.809
me going. how do you know the song in the movie?

00:14:20.909 --> 00:14:22.789
We've never seen this before. And I'm like, oh

00:14:22.789 --> 00:14:26.769
no, this song is as old as I am. And just a fun

00:14:26.769 --> 00:14:29.370
note, Kay Hanley, the lead singer of Letters

00:14:29.370 --> 00:14:33.289
to Cleo, her voice is the voice of Josie on all

00:14:33.289 --> 00:14:35.049
the songs on the Josie and the Pussycats soundtrack.

00:14:35.549 --> 00:14:40.009
Yes, and again, underrated. How did Letters to

00:14:40.009 --> 00:14:44.649
Cleo not get bigger? It blows my mind. I agree.

00:14:45.519 --> 00:14:47.139
Well, now I'm throwing it back to you. We got

00:14:47.139 --> 00:14:50.139
a very pop heavy side A unfolding for us so far,

00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:52.120
Ryan. What are you going to follow up Letters

00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:57.019
to Cleo with? I think I'm going to take a step

00:14:57.019 --> 00:15:04.059
in a rungier direction. Okay. And I'm going,

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:06.299
I almost feel like this is cheating, but I'm

00:15:06.299 --> 00:15:09.179
going to go with 1992 singles soundtrack and

00:15:09.179 --> 00:15:12.379
Pearl Jam State and Love and Trust. I mean, who

00:15:12.379 --> 00:15:14.860
doesn't love the single soundtrack, right? You

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:19.100
have everyone from Alice in Chains to basically

00:15:19.100 --> 00:15:22.840
Anna Nancy Wilson covering Led Zeppelin. And

00:15:22.840 --> 00:15:25.179
with all these other great artists in between,

00:15:25.220 --> 00:15:28.980
Paul Westerberg, Smashing Pumpkins, Mother Love

00:15:28.980 --> 00:15:33.259
Bone. And of course, you have perhaps two of

00:15:33.259 --> 00:15:35.820
the best Pearl Jam songs that they've ever recorded

00:15:35.820 --> 00:15:39.220
on this soundtrack and nowhere else. It's insane.

00:15:39.240 --> 00:15:42.980
That soundtrack is a defining soundtrack of the

00:15:42.980 --> 00:15:46.700
grunge era. I had Alice in Chains wood from the

00:15:46.700 --> 00:15:50.120
album because of the fact that I vividly remember

00:15:50.120 --> 00:15:54.200
this single coming out and then getting the single

00:15:54.200 --> 00:15:57.539
soundtrack only to find out that the album also

00:15:57.539 --> 00:16:00.840
made dirt months later when it came out. Because

00:16:00.840 --> 00:16:03.860
Alice in Chains for me was always like... included

00:16:03.860 --> 00:16:05.779
in the grunge movement but i always felt like

00:16:05.779 --> 00:16:07.799
they had a little bit more of a hard rock tinge

00:16:07.799 --> 00:16:11.039
to them whereas they weren't as grungy they were

00:16:11.039 --> 00:16:15.039
definitely more leaning hard rock but that song

00:16:15.039 --> 00:16:18.220
was so powerful lane's voice was just so perfect

00:16:18.220 --> 00:16:22.399
on that song and i mean i could go on and on

00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.340
but pearl jam state of love and trust how did

00:16:25.340 --> 00:16:28.399
that not make 10 or verses like i just think

00:16:28.399 --> 00:16:32.659
about how perfectly it would fit and sure enough

00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.080
This is when soundtracks mattered. This is when

00:16:36.080 --> 00:16:40.200
soundtracks made bands bigger. Because Pearl

00:16:40.200 --> 00:16:45.600
Jam, I will say the single soundtrack is a key

00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:48.620
piece of why they continued their explosion in

00:16:48.620 --> 00:16:51.840
the 90s. I agree. And I think I have some friends

00:16:51.840 --> 00:16:53.700
who have told me that they'll play the two songs

00:16:53.700 --> 00:16:56.480
back to back at shows. So it shows that they

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:58.980
understand that people associate these songs

00:16:58.980 --> 00:17:03.019
with that soundtrack. I'm going to see your grunge

00:17:03.019 --> 00:17:06.440
pick and I'm going to follow you up with another

00:17:06.440 --> 00:17:11.099
song that isn't necessarily grunge, but the vibe

00:17:11.099 --> 00:17:15.240
of it falls into it. And this was a song that

00:17:15.240 --> 00:17:19.440
came out first on the soundtrack, exploded into

00:17:19.440 --> 00:17:25.059
a massive single that led its way into her follow

00:17:25.059 --> 00:17:30.549
-up second album. And this artist had... a massive

00:17:30.549 --> 00:17:34.309
task on her hands. Because when you are following

00:17:34.309 --> 00:17:37.950
up one of the most successful debut female artist

00:17:37.950 --> 00:17:41.490
albums of all time, which was Jagged Little Pill,

00:17:41.930 --> 00:17:45.230
Alanis Morissette had to come out with something

00:17:45.230 --> 00:17:50.170
massive. And Uninvited was the massive single

00:17:50.170 --> 00:17:53.789
that would catapult her from Jagged Little Pill

00:17:53.789 --> 00:17:58.049
into supposed former infatuation junkie. Now,

00:17:58.049 --> 00:18:00.960
I will just go on record saying, I'm not as big

00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:03.220
a fan as the sophomore effort as I was of Jagged

00:18:03.220 --> 00:18:05.160
Little Pill. It didn't quite hit all the right

00:18:05.160 --> 00:18:11.039
notes for me. But this song, oh my God. I needed

00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:13.559
to get the City of Angels soundtrack the day

00:18:13.559 --> 00:18:15.160
it came out because I needed to get my hands

00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.500
on that song. And obviously, the City of Angels

00:18:17.500 --> 00:18:20.839
soundtrack also has the Goo Goo Dolls Iris, which

00:18:20.839 --> 00:18:23.539
I am now pulling off the table, which was a massive,

00:18:23.660 --> 00:18:26.759
massive ballad and a massive hit song that...

00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.400
Again, they put it on that album first, so it

00:18:29.400 --> 00:18:31.339
met all the criteria because Dizzy Up the Girl

00:18:31.339 --> 00:18:33.980
didn't come out until months later. So for me,

00:18:34.160 --> 00:18:37.460
Uninvited just follows the rock of Pearl Jam

00:18:37.460 --> 00:18:40.180
a little bit more than Goo Goo Dolls would have.

00:18:40.259 --> 00:18:42.960
So I'm going to go with Alanis Morissette, Uninvited.

00:18:43.720 --> 00:18:46.559
That's a great pick. I almost forgot that song

00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.839
was on the City of Angels soundtrack. It's obviously,

00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:50.799
I think, better known for the Goo Goo Dolls song,

00:18:50.900 --> 00:18:54.440
but I think Alanis' post -Jagged Little Pill

00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.819
output doesn't get enough. I think people kind

00:18:58.819 --> 00:19:00.940
of know her just for that one album because of

00:19:00.940 --> 00:19:05.160
all the singles. But yeah, definitely a sneaky

00:19:05.160 --> 00:19:07.680
little pick there. All right. Now you get to

00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:11.220
follow it up. I think I'm going to slow things

00:19:11.220 --> 00:19:14.380
down a little bit, but maybe keep things in a

00:19:14.380 --> 00:19:17.000
very 90s. I mean, I guess it's all going to sound

00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.779
very 90s because these are 90s soundtracks. Yeah.

00:19:20.259 --> 00:19:24.200
You know, another band that I think isn't grunge

00:19:24.200 --> 00:19:27.140
at all, but maybe. Kind of was associated with

00:19:27.140 --> 00:19:31.059
grunge at one point. I'm going to go with the

00:19:31.059 --> 00:19:33.819
1993 Conehead soundtrack, Red Hot Chili Peppers'

00:19:33.900 --> 00:19:37.779
Soul to Squeeze. Love it. What a great pick.

00:19:38.680 --> 00:19:41.859
Yeah, it's a song that I sometimes forget about,

00:19:41.900 --> 00:19:44.180
even though I really, really like it. I think

00:19:44.180 --> 00:19:48.000
people kind of knock it down a tier because maybe

00:19:48.000 --> 00:19:49.980
it's a little bit too much in the same vibe as

00:19:49.980 --> 00:19:52.640
Under the Bridge. But, you know, it was one of

00:19:52.640 --> 00:19:55.680
the first Chili Peppers songs that... I really

00:19:55.680 --> 00:19:59.839
was drawn to and it had me really explore their

00:19:59.839 --> 00:20:03.539
back catalog after that. So for me, it's like

00:20:03.539 --> 00:20:05.160
a really important Red Hot Chili Pepper song

00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:06.779
because one of the first ones where I was like,

00:20:06.819 --> 00:20:09.039
who is this band and what other songs do they

00:20:09.039 --> 00:20:12.559
have? Yeah, Blood Sugar Sex Magic was a defining

00:20:12.559 --> 00:20:16.240
album to me. As a bass player, hearing that album

00:20:16.240 --> 00:20:20.279
changed the way I viewed the instrument because

00:20:20.279 --> 00:20:22.680
of all the amazing things Flea does throughout

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:25.869
the entire album. And then you come along with

00:20:25.869 --> 00:20:28.190
the Conehead soundtrack and Soul to Squeeze,

00:20:28.329 --> 00:20:34.509
and Flea is actually leading the song. His bass

00:20:34.509 --> 00:20:39.490
line is the lead guitar in the opening of the

00:20:39.490 --> 00:20:45.529
song. And trying to define how important that

00:20:45.529 --> 00:20:48.809
is to me as a bass player, there is some guitar

00:20:48.809 --> 00:20:51.730
work that goes on over it. But make no mistake

00:20:51.730 --> 00:20:56.190
about it. Flea is playing lead bass on that song.

00:20:56.289 --> 00:21:00.069
And it's a beautiful melody. And that bass line

00:21:00.069 --> 00:21:04.549
is not easy to play. It is very musical. And

00:21:04.549 --> 00:21:07.670
it is a perfect follow -up to Under the Bridge.

00:21:07.730 --> 00:21:09.730
And I'll just go ahead and say it. It's a better

00:21:09.730 --> 00:21:12.869
song than Under the Bridge. At least in my humble

00:21:12.869 --> 00:21:14.910
opinion. I'm sure there's others that will disagree.

00:21:15.369 --> 00:21:19.049
But I love the song. I love the pick. But coming

00:21:19.049 --> 00:21:20.670
out of that, I'm going to go a little deeper

00:21:20.670 --> 00:21:23.490
here. And I'm going to keep it slightly slow,

00:21:23.569 --> 00:21:26.809
but pick up the pace a little bit. And this was

00:21:26.809 --> 00:21:30.430
a movie that I didn't know anything going into

00:21:30.430 --> 00:21:32.970
watching it. We rented it on VHS when I was in

00:21:32.970 --> 00:21:35.849
college. And my buddy and I watched it. And as

00:21:35.849 --> 00:21:37.529
soon as we were done, I'm like, we got to make

00:21:37.529 --> 00:21:40.250
two stops. We got to drop off the VHS back so

00:21:40.250 --> 00:21:42.910
we don't get charged a late fee. And we got to

00:21:42.910 --> 00:21:44.450
go hit up the mall because I need to buy this

00:21:44.450 --> 00:21:47.539
soundtrack. And it's not a soundtrack that everybody's

00:21:47.539 --> 00:21:50.839
going to automatically go, I needed to have that.

00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:54.500
It's a deeper cut. And the movie was Desperado

00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:59.599
with Antonio Banderas. I loved that movie. Robert

00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:02.259
Rodriguez bringing the El Mariachi character

00:22:02.259 --> 00:22:05.220
to life with the guns inside the guitar. It was

00:22:05.220 --> 00:22:07.440
a very musical movie. And there's a song towards

00:22:07.440 --> 00:22:10.259
the end of that soundtrack called Back to the

00:22:10.259 --> 00:22:13.400
House That Love Built by Tito and Tarantula.

00:22:13.920 --> 00:22:16.700
And Tito and Tarantula is also the group that

00:22:16.700 --> 00:22:20.140
played the house band in From Dusk Till Dawn.

00:22:20.640 --> 00:22:23.920
But Back to the House That Love Built is bluesy.

00:22:23.920 --> 00:22:28.420
It's melodic. And coming out of the kind of darker

00:22:28.420 --> 00:22:32.039
uninvited into a little bit more soul to squeeze.

00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:34.960
I'm picking up the pace towards the end of the

00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:39.099
side here. But still staying in a place where

00:22:39.099 --> 00:22:42.400
uninvited soul to squeeze. And Back to the House

00:22:42.400 --> 00:22:45.789
That Love Built. will fit one two three and it

00:22:45.789 --> 00:22:47.930
is a deeper pick i i get it people are probably

00:22:47.930 --> 00:22:50.789
sitting there going who the hell is tito and

00:22:50.789 --> 00:22:54.230
tarant i get it listen to the song in this mix

00:22:54.230 --> 00:22:56.230
and it might make sense and if not i would love

00:22:56.230 --> 00:22:59.609
to hear why you think it doesn't i'm not familiar

00:22:59.609 --> 00:23:01.829
with the song but i love the idea of going with

00:23:01.829 --> 00:23:04.690
a deeper cut i have a couple of songs on my list

00:23:04.690 --> 00:23:07.049
that i hope to throw in later that are probably

00:23:07.049 --> 00:23:08.789
from soundtracks that people have never heard

00:23:08.789 --> 00:23:12.670
of you know as the soundtrack guy i love it well

00:23:12.670 --> 00:23:15.640
now you unfortunately, have to follow up a song

00:23:15.640 --> 00:23:18.880
that you've never heard before. So now there's

00:23:18.880 --> 00:23:21.420
a challenge. I've described it as best I can,

00:23:21.539 --> 00:23:24.640
so hopefully that gives you something to step

00:23:24.640 --> 00:23:28.119
off of. Yeah, I think I can try to make that

00:23:28.119 --> 00:23:33.720
work. Something kind of bluesy. Well, I don't

00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:35.400
know if this is bluesy enough, but I'm going

00:23:35.400 --> 00:23:40.000
to go with a song off the 1996 Romeo and Juliet

00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.000
soundtrack. I'm going to go with Radiohead's

00:23:43.000 --> 00:23:47.420
talk show host. Ooh. You know, I'm a big Radiohead

00:23:47.420 --> 00:23:50.279
fan. This is probably one of the first songs

00:23:50.279 --> 00:23:55.500
where I understood why they were getting this

00:23:55.500 --> 00:23:57.900
hype worldwide as being, you know, one of the

00:23:57.900 --> 00:24:01.019
next great rock bands. I did enjoy the bands,

00:24:01.240 --> 00:24:03.380
and this is a B -side, I believe, from those

00:24:03.380 --> 00:24:06.240
sessions. But they put it on this soundtrack

00:24:06.240 --> 00:24:09.400
because they ended up taking the end credit song.

00:24:10.240 --> 00:24:12.660
And using that for OK Computer, and that is exit

00:24:12.660 --> 00:24:16.339
music for a film, which is a very British tongue

00:24:16.339 --> 00:24:18.619
-in -cheek joke of this is the end credit song

00:24:18.619 --> 00:24:21.740
for Romeo and Juliet. But it's a great song.

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:26.140
As a musician, I love how you can hear all the

00:24:26.140 --> 00:24:28.619
different elements kind of locking in together.

00:24:29.180 --> 00:24:32.119
It's a song that has an awesome bass part in

00:24:32.119 --> 00:24:35.660
it as well. It's not quite dancey, but it's pretty

00:24:35.660 --> 00:24:38.700
groovy for Radiohead, especially at this time.

00:24:39.519 --> 00:24:41.920
It doesn't really sound like the Benz or OK Computer,

00:24:42.099 --> 00:24:44.759
but it's one of my favorite Radiohead songs,

00:24:44.980 --> 00:24:47.259
and I'm super happy whenever I see them play

00:24:47.259 --> 00:24:52.039
live. I am admittedly not the biggest Radiohead

00:24:52.039 --> 00:24:56.779
fan. I am a big fan of Pablo Honey, and my friend

00:24:56.779 --> 00:24:58.900
got me into the Benz, but after that I start

00:24:58.900 --> 00:25:02.380
to drift away. But this song, to me, fits in

00:25:02.380 --> 00:25:07.279
between where Pablo Honey... And the bends are,

00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:10.180
I feel like that song kind of is the middle ground

00:25:10.180 --> 00:25:12.960
between those two albums where it still works.

00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:15.079
And it still is my radio head wheelhouse. So

00:25:15.079 --> 00:25:18.319
I love where you went with this. And I think

00:25:18.319 --> 00:25:21.299
now I have the challenge of ending aside here.

00:25:22.299 --> 00:25:24.940
And we've kind of had a little bit of a slower

00:25:24.940 --> 00:25:28.200
half. I want to end with something fun. And I'm

00:25:28.200 --> 00:25:31.359
going to use the linchpin of you saying radio

00:25:31.359 --> 00:25:33.220
head because they're from England. So I'm going

00:25:33.220 --> 00:25:36.109
to go with another band that is. From England,

00:25:36.210 --> 00:25:39.250
and I'm using quote marks in the air. This is

00:25:39.250 --> 00:25:42.930
a super group that consists of Christopher Ward

00:25:42.930 --> 00:25:49.509
on rhythm guitar, Stuart Johnson on drums, Matthew

00:25:49.509 --> 00:25:55.190
Sweet on bass, Susanna Hoffs on lead guitar,

00:25:55.490 --> 00:25:59.630
and the one and only Mike Myers, otherwise known

00:25:59.630 --> 00:26:04.759
as Austin Powers on lead guitar. and vocals.

00:26:04.960 --> 00:26:07.200
And I'm going to go with the fictitious Ming

00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:11.180
T BBC. I want to end the side with something

00:26:11.180 --> 00:26:15.880
fun, but looking at the list of songs, the power

00:26:15.880 --> 00:26:20.539
pop, the nineties rock, it actually fits. I don't

00:26:20.539 --> 00:26:24.859
know why, but it's not a serious song, but musically

00:26:24.859 --> 00:26:28.799
I feel like it fits. Oh, I love it. I love the

00:26:28.799 --> 00:26:31.359
song. I love that. It's ending this side of the

00:26:31.359 --> 00:26:33.869
mixtape. You know, I think it's a good song on

00:26:33.869 --> 00:26:36.049
its own. You don't have to just be watching Austin

00:26:36.049 --> 00:26:38.990
Powers. And then obviously Mike Myers brought

00:26:38.990 --> 00:26:41.369
in great musicians like Susanna Hoffs and Matthew

00:26:41.369 --> 00:26:45.670
Sweet. It's great. And that led Susanna Hoffs

00:26:45.670 --> 00:26:47.890
and Matthew Sweet to work together on those series

00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:49.930
of Under the Covers albums, which I think is

00:26:49.930 --> 00:26:53.990
fantastic. And musically, the song just works.

00:26:54.009 --> 00:26:57.950
It really does. And it's one of those songs that

00:26:57.950 --> 00:27:00.839
is unsuspected. On the Austin Powers soundtrack.

00:27:00.960 --> 00:27:02.960
Because a lot of the songs have a throwback sound

00:27:02.960 --> 00:27:05.819
to it. The burp backer rap. The theme song. A

00:27:05.819 --> 00:27:08.519
lot of the music. Obviously if you're thinking

00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:10.519
about iconic scenes in the movie. You could have

00:27:10.519 --> 00:27:14.640
chosen I Touch Myself. But that was put out way

00:27:14.640 --> 00:27:16.940
prior from the divinals. It was getting a second

00:27:16.940 --> 00:27:19.539
resurgence because of the movie. And like I said.

00:27:19.599 --> 00:27:21.480
I went with songs that were recorded for the

00:27:21.480 --> 00:27:25.519
soundtrack. And BBC works for that. And with

00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.589
that folks. We have our Side A. Starting off

00:27:29.589 --> 00:27:31.930
with Weezer, You Gave Your Love to Me Softly

00:27:31.930 --> 00:27:34.769
from the Angus soundtrack. The Wonders, That

00:27:34.769 --> 00:27:37.250
Thing You Do from the movie of the same name.

00:27:37.829 --> 00:27:40.230
The Jim Blossoms, Till I Hear It From You from

00:27:40.230 --> 00:27:43.950
Empire Records. Letters to Cleo, Dangerous Type

00:27:43.950 --> 00:27:47.230
from The Craft. Pearl Jam, State of Love and

00:27:47.230 --> 00:27:51.109
Trust from Singles. Alanis Morissette, Uninvited

00:27:51.109 --> 00:27:55.029
from City of Angels. Red Hot Chili Peppers, Soul

00:27:55.029 --> 00:27:58.720
to Squeeze from The Coneheads. Tito and Tarantula,

00:27:58.759 --> 00:28:01.519
Back to the House That Love Built from Desperado.

00:28:02.859 --> 00:28:05.380
Radiohead, talk show host from Romeo and Juliet.

00:28:05.819 --> 00:28:10.640
And Ming T, BBC from Austin Powers, international

00:28:10.640 --> 00:28:12.859
man of mystery, if we want to give the whole

00:28:12.859 --> 00:28:16.480
title there. Head over to myweeklymixtape .com

00:28:16.480 --> 00:28:19.380
to hear all the songs we've discussed in this

00:28:19.380 --> 00:28:22.460
mix. through the playlist embedded on the episode

00:28:22.460 --> 00:28:25.059
page. And speaking of soundtracks, Ryan, why

00:28:25.059 --> 00:28:27.019
don't you tell listeners a little bit about the

00:28:27.019 --> 00:28:29.880
Soundtrack Your Life podcast? Yeah, Soundtrack

00:28:29.880 --> 00:28:32.500
Your Life is a interview podcast where we talk

00:28:32.500 --> 00:28:35.380
to a guest about a soundtrack that they want

00:28:35.380 --> 00:28:38.799
to talk about. We've had people such as Brian

00:28:38.799 --> 00:28:41.799
on our podcast. We've had the chance to interview

00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:45.359
some very cool musicians as well. So Lou Barlow

00:28:45.359 --> 00:28:48.000
from Folk Implosion, Sabado, Dennis R. Jr. has

00:28:48.000 --> 00:28:50.960
been on the podcast. Michael Lockwood, who was

00:28:50.960 --> 00:28:54.500
Amy Mann's guitarist during probably her most

00:28:54.500 --> 00:28:57.160
popular years, including the Magnolia soundtrack.

00:28:57.400 --> 00:29:00.299
He was also a guest on our show. But, you know,

00:29:00.319 --> 00:29:02.180
we talk to people about why they love soundtracks

00:29:02.180 --> 00:29:05.559
and we get all these great stories and we dive

00:29:05.559 --> 00:29:07.880
down a Wikipedia rabbit hole to find interesting

00:29:07.880 --> 00:29:10.200
behind the scenes facts about the movies and

00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:13.029
the soundtrack. And it's a really fun time. Love

00:29:13.029 --> 00:29:15.670
the show for people that are movie fans that

00:29:15.670 --> 00:29:18.109
enjoy the way music is tied in the movies. I

00:29:18.109 --> 00:29:21.210
feel like this is a podcast for you. I love the

00:29:21.210 --> 00:29:23.769
fact that being on the show and being a guest,

00:29:23.849 --> 00:29:28.069
I am not a huge movie buff. We've anybody who's

00:29:28.069 --> 00:29:30.750
listened to me podcast before knows that a lot

00:29:30.750 --> 00:29:32.349
of the soundtracks I'm talking about tonight.

00:29:32.430 --> 00:29:35.289
I haven't even seen the movies for, but I own

00:29:35.289 --> 00:29:37.769
the soundtrack for, but I still felt like we

00:29:37.769 --> 00:29:40.069
were able to go off on some great conversations.

00:29:41.150 --> 00:29:43.789
And you've had guests on that you're able to

00:29:43.789 --> 00:29:46.009
dive deeper into the ties to the movie, which

00:29:46.009 --> 00:29:48.670
I really enjoy listening to, especially if it's

00:29:48.670 --> 00:29:51.349
a movie I am very familiar with. I love what

00:29:51.349 --> 00:29:54.430
you're doing on the show over there. And I definitely

00:29:54.430 --> 00:29:56.750
would recommend listeners of this show to go

00:29:56.750 --> 00:29:59.309
check out Soundtrack Your Life. Thanks, Brian.

00:29:59.890 --> 00:30:03.150
My pleasure. So now I have the honor of kicking

00:30:03.150 --> 00:30:08.829
things off for Side B. And Side A was poppy,

00:30:08.829 --> 00:30:14.259
power pop. Little grunge, little slow stuff,

00:30:14.519 --> 00:30:18.619
some fun stuff. I want to start off Side B completely

00:30:18.619 --> 00:30:21.480
different. Throw a wrench right in the system

00:30:21.480 --> 00:30:24.299
right from the get -go. I posted about this soundtrack

00:30:24.299 --> 00:30:27.019
a lot. It's one of my favorite soundtracks of

00:30:27.019 --> 00:30:32.460
all time. It was a very influential album because

00:30:32.460 --> 00:30:36.960
nu metal was not a thing at this point. Korns.

00:30:37.500 --> 00:30:39.559
Self -titled album does not come out for another

00:30:39.559 --> 00:30:44.500
year and change. And the 1993 soundtrack to Judgment

00:30:44.500 --> 00:30:49.619
Night proved that rock and hip -hop and metal

00:30:49.619 --> 00:30:55.059
and hip -hop can work together perfectly. And

00:30:55.059 --> 00:30:57.880
this soundtrack is amazing. I know people have

00:30:57.880 --> 00:31:00.559
chimed in with songs from this soundtrack, but

00:31:00.559 --> 00:31:05.359
nobody chimed in with the title track. By Biohazard

00:31:05.359 --> 00:31:08.000
and Onyx. So that is what I'm going to kick off

00:31:08.000 --> 00:31:11.519
side two with. Biohazard and Onyx became close.

00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:16.380
When Biohazard remixed Onyx's hit Slam. And they

00:31:16.380 --> 00:31:19.380
continued that camaraderie together on this track.

00:31:19.700 --> 00:31:23.339
And to me. This is an iconic moment. Because

00:31:23.339 --> 00:31:27.059
prior to the Judgment Night soundtrack. You had

00:31:27.059 --> 00:31:30.519
hip hop and you had rock. And you had Walk This

00:31:30.519 --> 00:31:33.579
Way with Aerosmith and Run DMC. And you had.

00:31:33.900 --> 00:31:37.240
Anthrax and Public Enemies Bring the Noise. Then

00:31:37.240 --> 00:31:39.880
here is an entire soundtrack dedicated to that

00:31:39.880 --> 00:31:43.160
concept. And this could have easily failed. But

00:31:43.160 --> 00:31:47.519
not only did it not fail, the soundtrack is the

00:31:47.519 --> 00:31:50.180
only thing people talk about when they talk about

00:31:50.180 --> 00:31:52.579
Judgment Night. I, for one, have never seen the

00:31:52.579 --> 00:31:55.420
movie. I don't care. I still own the soundtrack.

00:31:55.539 --> 00:31:57.900
It's still one of my favorite soundtracks. And

00:31:57.900 --> 00:31:59.660
from what I've heard, I don't have to see the

00:31:59.660 --> 00:32:01.759
movie. The soundtrack's where it's at. So I'm

00:32:01.759 --> 00:32:04.440
kicking things off with Biohazard and Onyx, Judgment

00:32:04.440 --> 00:32:07.319
Night. Yeah, I'm really glad that we're talking

00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:09.660
about the Judgment Night soundtrack. Also a soundtrack

00:32:09.660 --> 00:32:13.220
I own when I haven't seen the movie. I've never

00:32:13.220 --> 00:32:17.019
seen it. Oh, good. I'm not alone. I have people

00:32:17.019 --> 00:32:19.900
on other podcasts who have covered it, and they've

00:32:19.900 --> 00:32:21.759
told me that, don't worry, you don't need to

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:25.680
see it. Just buy the soundtrack. Well, now that's

00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:29.259
a lot heavier of where we were on side A. So,

00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:31.079
Ryan, I'll be very curious to see what you follow

00:32:31.079 --> 00:32:33.980
this up with now. I'm going to have to take a

00:32:33.980 --> 00:32:37.500
look at my list. This is where it gets challenging,

00:32:37.660 --> 00:32:42.259
definitely. Okay. I will go with a band that

00:32:42.259 --> 00:32:46.359
I guess you could say is a mix of rap and rock.

00:32:47.140 --> 00:32:49.740
Or at least I always felt like they were. And

00:32:49.740 --> 00:32:52.319
they were on a lot of great soundtracks in the

00:32:52.319 --> 00:32:57.799
90s. So I am glad for that. I'm going to go with,

00:32:57.819 --> 00:33:01.420
from 1998's Godzilla, No Shelter by Rage Against

00:33:01.420 --> 00:33:05.160
the Machine. Yes! Absolutely love it. Easily

00:33:05.160 --> 00:33:08.259
on my list. Saw the movie the night it came out.

00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:10.920
Haven't seen it since. Have had no desire to

00:33:10.920 --> 00:33:13.940
see it since. But I've had the soundtrack. And

00:33:13.940 --> 00:33:16.380
there were several songs from that soundtrack

00:33:16.380 --> 00:33:19.640
that could have easily made it tonight. No Shelter

00:33:19.640 --> 00:33:22.559
being the top one, but I love the Wallflowers

00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.079
cover of Heroes. That's on my list. Again, cover

00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:28.319
song. And I love, I'll just go ahead and say

00:33:28.319 --> 00:33:31.900
it. Come with me. Puff Daddy and Jimmy Page's

00:33:31.900 --> 00:33:37.859
cover of Cashmere. I love, even though it caught

00:33:37.859 --> 00:33:40.019
a lot of flack when the album came out. I thought

00:33:40.019 --> 00:33:42.529
it worked. I thought it worked well. But I probably

00:33:42.529 --> 00:33:44.690
have to remind you that License to Ill was one

00:33:44.690 --> 00:33:46.690
of my favorite hip hop albums in the 80s. And

00:33:46.690 --> 00:33:49.289
Rick Rubin and the Beastie Boys proved that you

00:33:49.289 --> 00:33:52.589
can take Led Zeppelin songs and rap over them.

00:33:52.589 --> 00:33:55.849
And it's absolutely awesome. And I feel like

00:33:55.849 --> 00:33:58.150
this kind of backs up that argument. Again, I

00:33:58.150 --> 00:34:00.109
love the Judgment Night soundtrack, so I didn't

00:34:00.109 --> 00:34:03.009
hate it. I hated the movie, but I didn't hate

00:34:03.009 --> 00:34:05.069
the soundtrack. I love the pic and I love that

00:34:05.069 --> 00:34:07.950
Rage is getting some love tonight. Yeah, it was.

00:34:08.570 --> 00:34:10.989
A tough pick between that and I believe their

00:34:10.989 --> 00:34:12.769
song You're the Boomerang from Higher Learning.

00:34:13.070 --> 00:34:15.989
Oh, another good one. Yeah, another good one.

00:34:16.489 --> 00:34:20.909
Well, that makes my track three easy. And I'm

00:34:20.909 --> 00:34:23.530
going to go with a song that when I first heard

00:34:23.530 --> 00:34:28.090
it, I assumed it was the artist that is billed

00:34:28.090 --> 00:34:32.250
top billing for this song. It wasn't until I

00:34:32.250 --> 00:34:34.650
got the soundtrack and actually listened to this

00:34:34.650 --> 00:34:39.349
soundtrack. On my stereo that I realized the

00:34:39.349 --> 00:34:42.050
guest spot had so many effects on their voice

00:34:42.050 --> 00:34:46.889
that it actually sounded like the main singer.

00:34:47.409 --> 00:34:51.090
And the song is not necessarily meant to be serious,

00:34:51.150 --> 00:34:55.389
but it is. And I'm going to go with 1997, the

00:34:55.389 --> 00:34:59.110
movie Private Parts, Howard Stern's movie. And

00:34:59.110 --> 00:35:02.349
I'm going to go with Rob Zombie and Howard Stern

00:35:02.349 --> 00:35:07.320
together. On The Great American Nightmare. Heavy

00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.539
song. And when you listen to the verse that Howard

00:35:09.539 --> 00:35:12.679
actually sings. With all the effects and studio

00:35:12.679 --> 00:35:16.480
magic that Rob Zombie worked in the studio. Howard

00:35:16.480 --> 00:35:21.420
fits the track. And it still works. And I absolutely

00:35:21.420 --> 00:35:24.539
love it. It stays with that heaviness that we

00:35:24.539 --> 00:35:28.159
had with Biohazard and Onyx and Rage. But it

00:35:28.159 --> 00:35:30.719
starts to veer away from the rap rock a little

00:35:30.719 --> 00:35:33.420
bit. into somewhere maybe you have some more

00:35:33.420 --> 00:35:36.659
territories of which way you can go from here

00:35:36.659 --> 00:35:39.400
on out. And I'm so glad I was able to include

00:35:39.400 --> 00:35:41.360
this one in because I didn't know if it would

00:35:41.360 --> 00:35:44.179
fit anywhere because there had to be a reason

00:35:44.179 --> 00:35:47.320
to use this song. And Biohazard and Onyx, Rage

00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.159
Against the Machine, Rob Zombie and Howard Stern,

00:35:50.320 --> 00:35:52.960
The Great American Nightmare. That's awesome.

00:35:53.000 --> 00:35:56.260
And the private part soundtrack is a pretty underrated

00:35:56.260 --> 00:35:58.599
soundtrack. I forget, like I personally forget

00:35:58.599 --> 00:36:02.329
about it sometimes. But like that Pornos for

00:36:02.329 --> 00:36:04.690
Pyro song with Flea and Dave Navarro. Oh, yeah.

00:36:04.769 --> 00:36:07.809
So amazing. Hard charger. Once you mentioned

00:36:07.809 --> 00:36:09.510
private parts, I was like, oh, I don't have hard

00:36:09.510 --> 00:36:12.070
charger on my list. And I love that song. So

00:36:12.070 --> 00:36:15.250
great pick, Brian. Thank you. Thank you. So now

00:36:15.250 --> 00:36:16.750
I'm throwing it back to you. You got to come

00:36:16.750 --> 00:36:19.550
up with something to come out of that. I think

00:36:19.550 --> 00:36:21.429
things might start getting a little weird here,

00:36:21.530 --> 00:36:24.610
but I'm going to go with the Bullworth soundtrack.

00:36:25.610 --> 00:36:30.820
And I'm going to go with Roz. Maya and Old Dirty

00:36:30.820 --> 00:36:36.400
Bastard get a superstar. It's one of my favorite

00:36:36.400 --> 00:36:38.880
movie songs from the 90s. When I think of 90s

00:36:38.880 --> 00:36:41.980
soundtracks, I think of that song. I remember

00:36:41.980 --> 00:36:44.119
listening to that for like a whole summer just

00:36:44.119 --> 00:36:47.500
on repeat. You know, the Fugees kind of stopped

00:36:47.500 --> 00:36:50.119
doing music, but they all kind of came out with

00:36:50.119 --> 00:36:53.239
their own solo projects. And this is kind of

00:36:53.239 --> 00:36:58.349
how Praz announced his solo career was. By doing

00:36:58.349 --> 00:37:00.989
this song off the Bullworth soundtrack. He's

00:37:00.989 --> 00:37:04.110
not as well known as a solo artist as Lauryn

00:37:04.110 --> 00:37:07.130
Hill or Wyclef even. But this song was everywhere

00:37:07.130 --> 00:37:10.170
when it came out. And I had high hopes for Prowse's

00:37:10.170 --> 00:37:12.929
career at this point. There was no escaping this

00:37:12.929 --> 00:37:16.949
song. Every radio station had it. It was on pop

00:37:16.949 --> 00:37:21.469
stations, on dance stations, top 40. It was everywhere.

00:37:21.550 --> 00:37:26.539
MTV. What a great song. And very, very tough

00:37:26.539 --> 00:37:29.340
to come out of. So you kind of did a little bit

00:37:29.340 --> 00:37:31.719
of a left turn coming out of Rob Zombie and Howard

00:37:31.719 --> 00:37:34.219
Stern. I think I have something, though, that

00:37:34.219 --> 00:37:36.920
could follow it up and still work. And it'll

00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:39.659
leave you a little, again, several directions

00:37:39.659 --> 00:37:41.840
you can head for the end. And I'm going to go

00:37:41.840 --> 00:37:43.900
right to the end of the decade. I'm going to

00:37:43.900 --> 00:37:47.119
go to the movie End of Days. Yet another movie

00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:49.980
I haven't seen with a soundtrack that kicked

00:37:49.980 --> 00:37:52.840
all sorts of ass. And I'm going to go with a

00:37:52.840 --> 00:37:56.539
then very young and very green at the time. Not

00:37:56.539 --> 00:37:58.280
a lot of people. He wasn't the household name

00:37:58.280 --> 00:38:03.639
he is now. But Eminem, bad influence. This was

00:38:03.639 --> 00:38:08.719
when he was coming out of the Slim Shady LP and

00:38:08.719 --> 00:38:13.260
headed towards the Eminem that we all know from

00:38:13.260 --> 00:38:15.619
the Marshall Mathers EP on and everything else.

00:38:15.860 --> 00:38:20.039
Bad influence is a banger. The song rocks like

00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:23.429
a rock song. And his flow is absolutely perfect

00:38:23.429 --> 00:38:27.989
on it. I mean, I could do an entire mixtape on

00:38:27.989 --> 00:38:30.989
Eminem alone and have countless number of songs

00:38:30.989 --> 00:38:33.210
to go with. But coming out of Ghetto Superstar,

00:38:33.250 --> 00:38:35.909
I think it really works. Again, End of Days,

00:38:36.050 --> 00:38:38.230
not a movie I could tell you a single thing about.

00:38:38.349 --> 00:38:41.550
But this soundtrack had that Guns N' Roses, Nine

00:38:41.550 --> 00:38:45.190
Inch Nails turn on Oh My God. It had Limp Bizkit.

00:38:45.349 --> 00:38:49.269
It had everything that 1999 was in music. That

00:38:49.269 --> 00:38:54.070
kind of new metal. change in in vibe and it was

00:38:54.070 --> 00:38:56.289
all on that soundtrack and eminem's bad influence

00:38:56.289 --> 00:39:00.150
stuck out for me as a signature track from that

00:39:00.150 --> 00:39:04.269
movie what a great choice i mean i'm an eminem

00:39:04.269 --> 00:39:09.250
fan um i was probably like you or anything in

00:39:09.250 --> 00:39:14.170
after that uh everything after that some shady

00:39:14.170 --> 00:39:17.150
lp that came out i was trying to pick it up you

00:39:17.150 --> 00:39:20.809
know this was when napster was My best friend.

00:39:23.670 --> 00:39:26.469
But yeah, great choice. Well, now I throw it

00:39:26.469 --> 00:39:31.670
back to you for track six. So for this one, it's

00:39:31.670 --> 00:39:33.909
a little bit of a controversial pick because

00:39:33.909 --> 00:39:37.269
I don't believe this was recorded for the movie,

00:39:37.349 --> 00:39:40.050
but I remember watching the music video for this

00:39:40.050 --> 00:39:43.989
and I couldn't avoid it. And for me, it defines

00:39:43.989 --> 00:39:47.210
this movie. So I'm going to go with the 1998.

00:39:48.030 --> 00:39:52.750
rush hour soundtrack and jay -z emil and and

00:39:52.750 --> 00:39:56.030
jaw rules can i get a i didn't know jay -z's

00:39:56.030 --> 00:39:58.150
catalog well enough at the point at this point

00:39:58.150 --> 00:40:01.110
to know if you know it had come out on a previous

00:40:01.110 --> 00:40:04.949
album but um the energy of the song just couldn't

00:40:04.949 --> 00:40:09.610
i just couldn't avoid the song and like i said

00:40:09.610 --> 00:40:11.550
i was playing on mtv all the time i was playing

00:40:11.550 --> 00:40:14.750
on radio all the time and it's just such a great

00:40:14.750 --> 00:40:18.610
like upbeat track And whenever I think of Rush

00:40:18.610 --> 00:40:21.889
Hour, this song starts playing in my head. Well,

00:40:21.949 --> 00:40:25.110
you're going from one more modern legend of hip

00:40:25.110 --> 00:40:27.769
hop, which is Eminem, to another modern hip hop

00:40:27.769 --> 00:40:30.329
legend in Jay -Z. So I think that works well.

00:40:30.550 --> 00:40:32.329
Look, at the end of the day, the quote unquote

00:40:32.329 --> 00:40:34.989
rules of if a song was recorded for the soundtrack

00:40:34.989 --> 00:40:37.699
or not, they're just. personal ones we made up

00:40:37.699 --> 00:40:40.059
for ourselves i'm totally fine with it obviously

00:40:40.059 --> 00:40:42.559
this song was massive on the soundtrack as well

00:40:42.559 --> 00:40:45.699
as on jay -z's album but there's no denying the

00:40:45.699 --> 00:40:47.940
popularity of this song and how well it works

00:40:47.940 --> 00:40:51.500
for the soundtrack as well as for his album as

00:40:51.500 --> 00:40:54.099
well so i've got nothing bad to say about this

00:40:54.099 --> 00:40:57.679
one at all all right well coming out of this

00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:01.519
trifecta of hip -hop because we had a trifecta

00:41:01.519 --> 00:41:03.599
of i don't want to call it new metal but we had

00:41:04.349 --> 00:41:06.489
biohazard and onyx rage against the machine rob

00:41:06.489 --> 00:41:09.710
zombie and howard stern then we had a trifecta

00:41:09.710 --> 00:41:12.429
of hip -hop with ghetto superstar bad influence

00:41:12.429 --> 00:41:16.170
and can i get a i'm gonna pivot back bring us

00:41:16.170 --> 00:41:18.389
back to rock because there's a soundtrack that

00:41:18.389 --> 00:41:21.369
i just cannot get through a 90s episode and not

00:41:21.369 --> 00:41:24.949
talk about it and that is 1993's last action

00:41:24.949 --> 00:41:31.000
hero again a movie i've never seen but a soundtrack

00:41:31.000 --> 00:41:33.579
that I absolutely adore. And I'm going to bring

00:41:33.579 --> 00:41:36.219
it back to straight ahead rock here. Meat and

00:41:36.219 --> 00:41:40.380
potatoes, no special sides, just everything you

00:41:40.380 --> 00:41:43.960
expect in an ACDC song. And one that I am shocked

00:41:43.960 --> 00:41:48.659
did not make The Razor's Edge or Ball Breaker.

00:41:48.800 --> 00:41:52.820
And I'm going to go with Big Gun from ACDC. Number

00:41:52.820 --> 00:41:57.079
one, baby. Love that song. Wow. Another soundtrack

00:41:57.079 --> 00:42:00.670
that I think I've forgotten about. And I think

00:42:00.670 --> 00:42:04.449
also, I kind of forgot that Last Action Hero

00:42:04.449 --> 00:42:07.030
came out in the 90s. It feels like a late 80s

00:42:07.030 --> 00:42:10.929
movie. It's definitely not one that has aged

00:42:10.929 --> 00:42:14.210
well either from what my movie aficionado friends

00:42:14.210 --> 00:42:18.210
have told me, but the soundtrack has. And people

00:42:18.210 --> 00:42:20.190
still look back at that soundtrack with some

00:42:20.190 --> 00:42:22.989
degree of, this is when soundtracks were events.

00:42:24.010 --> 00:42:27.070
And in this instance, and Judgment Night, the

00:42:27.070 --> 00:42:29.599
soundtracks, in my opinion, Were bigger than

00:42:29.599 --> 00:42:32.019
the movie. Yeah. And I could, you could even

00:42:32.019 --> 00:42:34.139
argue that for a empire records, at least when

00:42:34.139 --> 00:42:37.420
it first came out. Yeah. Empire records in time,

00:42:37.519 --> 00:42:40.059
they leveled off though. To me, both the soundtrack

00:42:40.059 --> 00:42:43.619
and the movie are iconic at this point to me,

00:42:43.699 --> 00:42:46.940
but that was also a snapshot in time where if

00:42:46.940 --> 00:42:49.639
I were to show that movie to my kids, they're

00:42:49.639 --> 00:42:53.599
looking at it. What is a record store? Like it's

00:42:53.599 --> 00:42:56.900
foreign. To them, even though having me as a

00:42:56.900 --> 00:42:58.500
father, it's not foreign because I drag them

00:42:58.500 --> 00:43:00.760
to record stores all the time, but not to the

00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:05.539
size of Empire Records. Yeah. All right. Throwing

00:43:05.539 --> 00:43:08.679
it back to you now. I don't even know how to

00:43:08.679 --> 00:43:13.380
follow up ACDC. They are not a band that slides

00:43:13.380 --> 00:43:16.599
off the tongue when you think 90s anything because

00:43:16.599 --> 00:43:19.400
they are a straight ahead hard rock band. And

00:43:19.400 --> 00:43:21.599
when you think 90s, you think grunge, you think.

00:43:22.139 --> 00:43:23.800
you know, Hootie and the Blowfish, you think

00:43:23.800 --> 00:43:25.519
different. A lot of the artists we've talked

00:43:25.519 --> 00:43:27.739
about tonight, and I know it's a little bit of

00:43:27.739 --> 00:43:30.059
a left turn, but so is Tito and Tarantula. So

00:43:30.059 --> 00:43:33.699
I figured I can go weird once per side. Hey,

00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:37.039
I'm fine with that. I'm going to go with another

00:43:37.039 --> 00:43:39.880
iconic band, another iconic rock band, and I'm

00:43:39.880 --> 00:43:42.920
going to go with The Cure on the 1994 soundtrack

00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.960
to The Crow and their song Burn. Nice. You know,

00:43:47.980 --> 00:43:50.000
The Cure is another band that maybe is better

00:43:50.000 --> 00:43:52.539
known for their songs in the 80s than the 90s.

00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:56.099
But, you know, if I'm going to follow up ACDC,

00:43:56.340 --> 00:43:58.699
I'm going to have to bring another band that

00:43:58.699 --> 00:44:02.519
is a stone cold legend. Undebatable that The

00:44:02.519 --> 00:44:06.239
Cure is not as, I don't want to, you know, let's

00:44:06.239 --> 00:44:07.920
not compare who's more important. But, you know,

00:44:07.940 --> 00:44:10.460
they're a band that stands on their own. And

00:44:10.460 --> 00:44:12.760
if you're going to follow up ACDC, you want a

00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:14.880
band that everyone is going to be like, okay.

00:44:15.659 --> 00:44:18.880
You can follow up ACDC with The Cure. They can

00:44:18.880 --> 00:44:24.420
take it. Oh, man. And The Crow, what a fantastic,

00:44:24.679 --> 00:44:26.940
another Rage Against the Machine song sitting

00:44:26.940 --> 00:44:29.260
on that with Darkness, which was a B -side to

00:44:29.260 --> 00:44:32.920
Bullet in the Head originally. Love that soundtrack.

00:44:33.039 --> 00:44:36.139
That had Pantera on it. That's, again, a soundtrack

00:44:36.139 --> 00:44:38.639
that was an event. Pretty much everybody I knew

00:44:38.639 --> 00:44:41.340
in my entire circle was trying to get their hands

00:44:41.340 --> 00:44:43.280
on The Crow soundtrack when it first came out.

00:44:45.960 --> 00:44:49.940
ACDC, iconic. The Cure, iconic. Slightly different

00:44:49.940 --> 00:44:53.780
musically, but iconic. So we had the trio of

00:44:53.780 --> 00:44:56.559
rap, rock, whatever you want to call it. The

00:44:56.559 --> 00:44:58.659
trio of hip hop. And now we're doing, let's say,

00:44:58.679 --> 00:45:03.460
a trio of iconic. And to me, there is an iconic

00:45:03.460 --> 00:45:05.980
artist we haven't talked about tonight on a soundtrack

00:45:05.980 --> 00:45:09.900
that is only popular. And I'll just go ahead

00:45:09.900 --> 00:45:12.159
and say it for this song. And it's another cover

00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:15.719
song. The original was recorded by Dolly Parton

00:45:15.719 --> 00:45:20.079
in 1973. And I'm going to go off 1992's The Bodyguard

00:45:20.079 --> 00:45:23.260
because we are talking icons here. How can you

00:45:23.260 --> 00:45:25.980
not talk Whitney Houston's I Will Always Love

00:45:25.980 --> 00:45:29.840
You? Not my favorite song of all time. But when

00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:32.820
you're talking 90s soundtracks, I don't think

00:45:32.820 --> 00:45:36.260
we could talk about iconic artists like ACDC

00:45:36.260 --> 00:45:39.280
and The Cure and not include Whitney in the conversation.

00:45:39.340 --> 00:45:41.579
One of the greatest female vocalists of all time.

00:45:42.219 --> 00:45:45.659
the song obviously has been beaten to death for

00:45:45.659 --> 00:45:49.300
radio. But besides that, I wanted to say I'm

00:45:49.300 --> 00:45:52.340
Every Woman was also on that album. But when

00:45:52.340 --> 00:45:55.820
you talk about 90s soundtracks, name an iconic

00:45:55.820 --> 00:45:57.780
Whitney Houston song from a soundtrack in the

00:45:57.780 --> 00:45:59.679
90s, even though there was Waiting to Exhale

00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.760
and other examples like I'm Every Woman, most

00:46:02.760 --> 00:46:05.480
people that I know chime in with I Will Always

00:46:05.480 --> 00:46:07.320
Love You, and rightfully so, because the song

00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:12.139
was absolutely massive. And to me, There are

00:46:12.139 --> 00:46:14.380
songs on my list that I still have that I like

00:46:14.380 --> 00:46:17.679
more than this one. But being we're talking icons,

00:46:18.099 --> 00:46:21.420
I can't not put this one in here. So it's also

00:46:21.420 --> 00:46:24.500
my last song of the night. So I'm going to end

00:46:24.500 --> 00:46:26.860
my part of this contribution with Whitney Houston's

00:46:26.860 --> 00:46:30.059
I Will Always Love You. Yeah, this song is a

00:46:30.059 --> 00:46:33.019
banger. This song was everywhere. Everybody knows

00:46:33.019 --> 00:46:35.820
this song. You know, it got so popular to the

00:46:35.820 --> 00:46:37.440
point where people love to parody this song.

00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:40.679
Just the vocal performance she gives on this

00:46:40.679 --> 00:46:44.380
is an all -timer. Yeah, and the original is fantastic,

00:46:44.500 --> 00:46:47.440
too, when you go back to Dolly's. But to be able

00:46:47.440 --> 00:46:51.559
to take a country song and elevate it to the

00:46:51.559 --> 00:46:55.440
level that Whitney did was unbelievable. Every

00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:59.460
time when the song changes keys and she hits

00:46:59.460 --> 00:47:02.440
the notes even higher, the hair on my arm stands

00:47:02.440 --> 00:47:05.079
up just talking about it. And I know bands have

00:47:05.079 --> 00:47:06.880
covered it in fun, like Me First and the Gimme

00:47:06.880 --> 00:47:09.199
Gimmes doing a punk version, which I absolutely

00:47:09.199 --> 00:47:13.219
love. But this song is great. And again, it's

00:47:13.219 --> 00:47:15.039
another cover song. So I got to sneak a little

00:47:15.039 --> 00:47:18.300
cover song action into this side as well. But

00:47:18.300 --> 00:47:21.760
Ryan, I'm giving you the hardest job of them

00:47:21.760 --> 00:47:25.260
all. Because Side B was definitely a mixed bag,

00:47:25.340 --> 00:47:29.159
but it was a trifecta of trifectas. When you

00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:33.480
talk about the rap rock, heavy rock, hip hop.

00:47:33.880 --> 00:47:37.059
icons, and then one song from Ryan. That's going

00:47:37.059 --> 00:47:41.260
to wrap up our entire nineties soundtrack experience

00:47:41.260 --> 00:47:46.300
here. No pressure. What do you got for us? Oh

00:47:46.300 --> 00:47:50.559
man, this is such a huge undertaking, especially

00:47:50.559 --> 00:47:53.920
with how we're going with these last few songs.

00:47:54.739 --> 00:47:58.119
Like I wanted to kind of end it on a slower note,

00:47:58.239 --> 00:48:00.719
but I can't just like pull the rugged from everyone.

00:48:01.019 --> 00:48:04.880
So I can't go like too mellow. I am going to

00:48:04.880 --> 00:48:10.460
go with REM. So I am going to go with their song

00:48:10.460 --> 00:48:15.239
off the Man on the Moon soundtrack, The Great

00:48:15.239 --> 00:48:19.780
Beyond. Ooh. You know, if we're going to go with

00:48:19.780 --> 00:48:23.840
these huge bands at the end of this list, I feel

00:48:23.840 --> 00:48:28.059
like we got to end big. I think REM in the 90s,

00:48:28.059 --> 00:48:30.920
they were one of the biggest bands in the world.

00:48:31.639 --> 00:48:35.659
And this is the big single from, you know, this

00:48:35.659 --> 00:48:40.019
Andy Kaufman biopic. And, you know, it's a great

00:48:40.019 --> 00:48:42.699
song. It's kind of mellow, but I think it has

00:48:42.699 --> 00:48:45.920
it's just epic enough to not be too much of a

00:48:45.920 --> 00:48:50.159
letdown from Whitney. To me, I feel like it's

00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.880
the encore for those three legends because REM

00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:59.119
is a legendary indie alternative group. And they.

00:48:59.550 --> 00:49:03.210
paved the way for so many bands i mean i you

00:49:03.210 --> 00:49:05.630
know i recently had will turpin on from collective

00:49:05.630 --> 00:49:08.710
soul and he talked about the fact that because

00:49:08.710 --> 00:49:12.050
both bands hail from atlanta that rem was the

00:49:12.050 --> 00:49:14.949
band that they watched with bated breath because

00:49:14.949 --> 00:49:17.869
the more they were successful the more hope they

00:49:17.869 --> 00:49:20.150
gave bands like collective soul coming out of

00:49:20.150 --> 00:49:24.150
atlanta and if it wasn't for rem that rock scene

00:49:24.150 --> 00:49:26.610
might not have ever been there so defining band

00:49:27.280 --> 00:49:29.400
If you want to hear Will Turpin from Collective

00:49:29.400 --> 00:49:32.360
