Download<\/a><\/p>\nOn this episode, Marc With a C digs up an exclusive treat for you: a cassette mixtape that he made back in 2001 called \u201cCuddle: The Soundtrack To The 90\u2032s Romantic-teen-angst-coming-of-age-drama That Never Was<\/em>\u201c. For no good reason, this mixtape has held an inexplicably secure place in Marc\u2019s heart, so much so that he\u2019s decided to play it for you in it\u2019s entirety, directly from the rather aged cassette!<\/p>\nHere\u2019s the rather clunky description written to go along with the tape upon completion, over a decade ago: \u201cDon\u2019t you just love those romantic\/comedy\/drama movies of the early 90\u2032s that were really just vehicles for some great soundtracks? I mean, just think back to \u2018Reality Bites\u2019, \u2018Mad Love\u2019, \u201910 Things I Hate About You\u2019\u2026 when looked back upon, these aren\u2019t exactly the stuff that great film is made of. They were just middling period pieces made to get kids into their local cinemas. And as if stealing their 7 dollars wasn\u2019t enough for an hour and a half of Winona Rider, Ben Affleck, Ethan Hawke, and in some good cases, Drew Barrymore\u2026 they would then fill the soundtrack with the \u2018hottest\u2019 in \u2018alternative bands\u2019 to further milk the helpless teenagers. My god, am I ever glad that they did!!! I cant get enough of these movies featuring Hollywood\u2019s ideas of what normal \u2018alterna-life\u2019 in the \u201990\u2032s was all about. So many cliches, so many bad on-screen kisses, so many great soundtracks!!! Getting to the point\u2026 in this mix, I tried to invoke the spirit of those wonderful 90\u2032s soundtracks by filling up a 120 minute cassette with songs that could have fit into any of those films, be it in lyrics, mood or sound. Heck, a few of these actually *were* in a few of those movies. I hope you enjoy my \u2018fictitious soundtrack\u2019 tribute to the soundtracks of the alternative soundtracks of the \u201990\u2032s!!!<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\nOverzealous or what? Well, for better or worse, here\u2019s the tape, and Marc\u2019s exclusive holiday gift to you all. See you in 2013!<\/p>\n
