One of my favorite movies, especially in jr. high & high school, was Pretty in Pink. I wanted to grow up and be Iona. I named my blog in part after her record store, TRAX. I also loved the soundtrack. There is some really fabulous stuff on there, and for a wanna-be New Waver it was really key in finding new bands, as no one was playing that stuff on the radio where I lived. I had to sneak out and sit in my parents' car and tune in to a static filled station coming out of San Fransisco to get to hear something new. Having so many songs in one place was revolutionary for me at the time. INXS, Psychadelic Furs, New Order, Echo and the Bunnymen, and The Smiths fill up half of the 10 track compilation. Those bands are the foundation of my musical knowledge and I can trace it all back to this soundtrack.
The final track on my tape (yes, my copy is still just on tape) is "Please Please Please, Let Me Get What I Want" by The Smiths, which is our feature cover today.
