perfectly encapsulates the 90s – and not just the soundtrack, but also the aesthetics, the campiness, everything ❤️🔥 bought a secondhand copy of the soundtrack at a local music store even tho i don't have a CD player bc i just love this movie so much
The hype for that film was so real and mostly covered by the old music version of MTV. That it reads like a very long music video with dialogue, speaks volumes. Every song sits perfectly next to its friends on the tracklist, no skips, just the coolest nostalgia and great music. I consider it the greatest soundtrack of all time.
Takeaways: 1. I doubt i’ve ever wanted to live in a movie more than I have ever wanted watching this.
2. The best soundtrack in a movie i’ve ever watched (so far).
3. Oh to be a teen living in the 90s/early 2000s, working (hanging out and getting paid) at a record shop. PS: I’m on the lookout for contenders, please recommend ❤️
I recently inherited my grandfather’s CD player and bought this CD at random, not having seen the film. I ended up listening to it every day for several months. It has everything: Angelo Badalamenti’s suspicious chords, grand orchestral parts, Nicolas Cage doing Elvis covers. There is a special thrill to the music being stationary - I can’t listen to it other places because the album doesn’t exist online. My apartment has become this music and the other way around.
it's nice. you can go wherever you want, do whatever you want, whenever you feel like it. today i just felt like eating a big slice of peach earl grey cake and jasmine bergamot basque cheesecake all by myself on a sunday afternoon
