Clueless (1995) - The 90s Alternative Soundtrack That Stayed Away from Grunge with Long Nguyen and Damon Gross of Joy Luck Division

Joy Luck Division members Long Nguyen and Damon Gross join the podcast to talk about the soundtrack to Amy Heckerling’s 1995 classic film Clueless, which is celebrating it’s 25th anniversary! We chat about Alicia Silverstone’s career before she became a star, the running gag of the song “Fake Plastic Trees” and some parallels between Clueless and Amy Heckerling’s other iconic teen film, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Long also shares some stories about his time in Orange County ska band, the Nuckle Brothers, and how surreal it was to see ska taking off in the mid 90s as his band was breaking up.We would love it if you would join our Patreon membership, where you will get quarterly bonus episodes, early access to our regular episodes, and much moreThis podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: Podscribe - https://podscribe.com/privacySpotify Ad Analytics - https://www.spotify.com/us/legal/ad-analytics-privacy-policy/Soundtrack Your Life SocialsBlueskyInstagramWriting SiteYouTubePatreon Learn more about your ad choices.
