Pump Up the Volume



The iPod took me on trip down middle school nostalgia lane with the soundtrack to my fave Christian Slater film.

This album pretty much introduced me to modern/college rock, as I the only artists I'd heard of here were Ivan Neville (Dad=Aaron) and Concrete Blonde (MTV played "Joey" all the friggin' time).

A track list...

1) "Everybody Knows" / Concrete Blonde



2) "Why Can't I Fall in Love" / Ivan Neville




3) "Stand" / Liquid Jesus

4) "Wave of Mutilation" (UK Surf) / Pixies


Still my preferred version.

5) "I've Got a Miniature Secret Camera" / Peter Murphy

6) "Kick Out the Jams" / Bad Brains, Henry Fucking Rollins



7) "Freedom of Speech" / Above the Law


I recall the scene with this song featuring a very young, long-haired Seth Green.

8) "Heretic" / Soundgarden


Oh, Chris Cornell, where did your voice go...

9) "Titanium Exposé" / Sonic Youth



10) "Me and the Devil Blues" / Cowboy Junkies

11) "Tale O' The Twister" / Chagall Guevara



Music not on the disc but in the flick...

"Everybody Knows" / Leonard Cohen (aka the original, aka the Happy Harry Hard-On theme song)



"Weinerschnitzel" / Descendents



"Dad, I'm in Jail" / Was (Not Was)



"Love Comes in Spurts" / Richard Hell and the Voidoids



"Fast Lane" / Urban Dance Squad


I still have this cassette somewhere....

"The Scenario" / Beastie Boys
