sOUNDTRACK tO mY lIFE (June & July 2008)

Being a music snob I’m always disappointed when one of the songs I’ve selected for the soundtrack to my life ends up in a commercial. It’s even worse when the commercial appears before I introduce the song to you – my faithful listening audience. I feel as though I’ve let you down, Madison avenue beat me to the punch. Unfortunately that is exactly what happened to this soundtrack. Now I know what you’re thinking, crap, I’ve been waiting around for almost two months for this release and now he’s just recycling songs from a Target Commercial. Well if it makes you feel any better I promise to do better next month. So here it is, two months together as one.

    Hey Abe,
    Always a highlight getting a list of fresh tracks and bands to listen to and search out.
    Might i ask what the sOUNDTRACK tO yOUr lIFE would sound like if it were June and July 1988?

    Just throwing it out there, seeing as you might have some time, at this moment in time……

    Cheers bud,

    AA

    Great question DoubleA! 1988 I would have been in 7th grade and experimenting with both rap and heavy metal. The sOUNDTRACK tO mY lIFE would probably have been something like this:

    Cult of Personality – Living Colour
    Express Yourself – NWA
    Pour Some Sugar on Me – Def Leopard
    Red Red Wine, UB40
    Colors – Ice T
    Paul Revere – Beastie Boys
    Wild Thing – Tone-Loc
    You Shook Me All Night Long – AC/DC
    Straight Outta Compton – NWA

    What would have been on you’re soundtrack?

    Beastie Boys: Hey Ladies
    U2: Joshua Tree: Bullet in the BLue Sky
    Def Leopard;
    A non stop rotation of Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Hendrix and The Doors: come on: weed, beers and grade 9/10 go hand in hand
    Fishbone: Truth and Soul: Hey Ma and Pa
    NoMeansNo: Vancouver’s own Hanson Brothers: tough as nails 2 man punk band
    Dead Kennedys
    Dead Milkmen
    Operation Ivy
    Wang Chung: Everybody Wang Chung Tonight
    Metalica: One
    Ice T: Colors

    I did not hit my punk rock phase for a few more years. I would have loved to have found Op Ivy, Dead Milkmen, and the Pixies back in 1988. The Pixies released Surfer Rosa in ’88 and the Mikmen had a this great video for Punk Rock Girl.

    Boy was I missing out.
