nostalgia songs

How good was The Adventures of Pete and Pete? I'm rewatching it right now and it's still completely brilliant. Even Iggy Pop was delightful in it and not at all like a terrifying meth skeletor with latex for flesh. I saw older Pete in San Francisco about 10 years ago and he looked like a bike messenger, a super cute ginger bike messenger. Oh, and the theme song makes me so happy that I put it on my iPod. And now I'm posting it strictly for da 90s heads.

Polaris - Hey Sandy ("The Adventures of Pete and Pete" theme)



Speaking of songs from movies/TV that make me really happy: This summer mix from the singer for the Morning Benders is cool because it has a Joanna Newsom-sort-of-cover over a J Dilla beat. But the genius of is how it starts off with Steve Martin and Bernadette Peters' duet from "The Jerk"! Cutest song ever.

I love that Steve Martin/Bernadette Peters duet! I have never had success finding it in .mp3 or CD format.
