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,

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?

NoMeansNo: Vancouver’s own Hanson Brothers: tough as nails 2 man punk band

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.
