I had a few ideas for this, but finally settled on this method. Each song is from a movie where the actors are all connected. Now, some of these movies are not exactly my favorite, but who cares, I like the songs. And yes I know, some of the movies could have been skipped since some of the actors are in every movie imaginable. But that's how I roll. And, in true degrees-of-separation fashion, it ends with Kevin Bacon.

I should mention that not all of the songs actually appeared on the official soundtrack, but they were used in the movie. Enjoy!

Fuck, I wish I had come up with this. Ending it with The Bacon Brothers is like putting the scrumptious little bacon snippets on top of a delicious meatloaf. Without using Meatloaf. Oooh... Rocky Horror...

Way to go! I have to admit I despise everything Cameron Crowe (except Fast Times naturally) and Prozac Nation is god awful. If 90% of my classmates at film school could do half of this, I wouldnt feel like such a smartypants all of the time. But instead they are a bunch of whiney rich bitches. I LIKE YOUR MIX.
