Clueless
Clueless Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (180g) Vinyl LP

Rollin' with my homies! Amy Heckerling's Clueless offered up an endearing send up of privileged Beverly Hills teenagers with a cast that included Alicia Silverstone, Paul Rudd, Brittany Murphy, Stacey Dash and Donald Faison. The soundtrack to the movie was filled with nineties alternative heavy hitters. Radiohead, Counting Crows and the Beastie Boys all make appearances, along with Cracker and Supergrass. There's the welcome inclusion of fuzzed out, female fronted alt rock outfits, including Luscious Jackson ("Here"), Jill Sobule ("Supermodel") and The Muffs, who famously covered Kim Wilde's "Kids in America." They're now all available for the first time on vinyl in celebration of the movie's 20th anniversary. Ugh, as if!
