Comment:
A compendium to the fabulous television show, "Freaks & Geeks." My friends and I recently held a Freaks & Geeks marathon in which all 18 epsiodes were shown in a row. Candy was eaten, shots were downed, headaches & wooziness appeared. I made this cd the next week and sent out copies to all the die hards who made it through all 18 episodes, shown from 2 pm to 6 am the next day. If you have not seen the show, I pity you. It is without a doubt the greatest show I have ever seen and perfectly captures the late 70's/early 80's high school vibe and the world of the outcasts and nerds. I put a song on from every epsiode, in order, as a sort of soundtrack for the series. Two regrets - the inclusion on the Amboy Dukes over XTC's "No Language in our Lungs" and not being able to include "Rosalinda's Eyes."Feedback:
It was indeed a great show. And this is quite the cool mix, Mr. Paquette.
FREAKS AND GEEKS WAS THE GREATEST TELEVISION SHOW EVER. It is criminal, CRIMINAL I tell ya, that it was canceled. What a boss idea for a mix! I think I loved that show so much because I was the exact age of Sam at that period of my life - the trials he and his friends experienced largely mirrored my own. Tragic, I know. God, I miss that show. I guess they had to cancel it to make room for another ridiculous "reality show". F&G was the greatest reality show ever. OK, enough yapping. Well done.
is it me or was that show sometimes just painful to watch because of how close it hit home? yeah...it's a shame freaks and geeks was cancelled. i always regret not taping the reruns they showed on family channel. this mix is awesome.
if you guys liked it, then it must be good! Unfortunately here in Hicksville, UK, we don't get it. I like the music in this mix, though
great show/great tape!
