Our Band Could Be Your Life
p>
I basically put together a mix that functions like a soundtrack to the book.
It's an attempt. It might not even be a good one, but I didn't find too much on
the web that acted like a musical guide to the book. I am sure I made some choices that people disagree with.
I tried to choose songs that either 1) were mentioned
in the book, 2) reflected or commented on a situation
or theme in the book or 3) were representative of the
time period or bands focused on or discussed in the book.
I included songs by bands like Deep Wound, Rites of Spring,
Green River, Circle Jerks etc. because I figured it would provide
a little background and those bands were somewhat important
(though not featured in the book) to the book. I left off bands
like Empire and Bl'ast because while awesome they're only
tangentially important to the subject.
Anyway this is pretty self indulgent. Sometimes I get a
little bored and obsessed. It's 50 songs that relate to Our Band Could Be Your Life:
