Like many of you, we're children of the '80s so we've been keeping a close eye on High School Reunion, a covers comp of songs from Me Decade flicks. It's finally got a release date (12/1), and here via ever-helpful Pitchfork is the tracklisting [Artist - "Song," Film (Original Artist)].
01 John P. Strohm - "Somebody's Baby," Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Jackson Browne)
02 Dipsomaniacs - "A Million Miles Away," Valley Girl (The Plimsouls)
03 Matthew Sweet - "American Girl," Fast Times at Ridgemont High (Tom Petty)

I've never heard of half those bands, but a German cabaret take on "Pretty in Pink" could be cool. Or totally unlistenable.
