Romeo and Juliet (1996) - The 90s Alt Rock Soundtrack That Every Teen Would Blast With the Windows Down with Dietrich Seney

Creator of Dietrich's Car Channel on  YouTube , and Ryan Pak's former roommate, Dietrich Seney stops by the podcast to talk about the hit soundtrack to Baz Luhrmann’s 1996 adaptation of William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. He talks about how the film and his interest in the soundtrack helped him better understand Shakespeare as a freshmen in high school and how many of the songs continue to connect him to scenes in the film. We talk about how Garbage’s “#1 Crush” was almost omitted from the soundtrack and how Radiohead actually asked Baz Luhrmann to omit the song they wrote for the film from the soundtrack. We also discuss the popularity of The Cardigans, Everclear and the Butthole Surfers around the release of the film. Finally, we talk about a night at a Garbage concert that became memorable not for the music but for the venue and a conversation with some Garbage fans seated near us.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.
