Adventureland (2009) - A Timeless 80s Indie Period Piece Soundtrack with Pop Culture Writer Rachel Brodsky

Pop culture writer, and soon to be author, Rachel Brodsky (Time, LA Times, Stereogum, Rolling Stone, and more!) returns to Soundtrack Your Life to discuss the soundtrack to the 2009 Greg Mottolla film, Adventureland , with hosts Nicole Barlow and Ryan Pak. Outside of Falco's hit "Rock Me Amadeus", the soundtrack mines 80s college rock over pop hits for this 80s period piece. Needle drops from The Replacements, Crowded House, The Cure, Husker Du, Big Star, & Lou Reed pop up in the film alongside a beautiful score by Yo La Tengo.
