This #NinetiesFriday I’ll be sharing my favorite tunes from & talking about Punk - O - Rama Compilation’s One, Two & Three. It’s a CD that Epitaph Records put out once a year or every other year that had songs from all the bands on the label. They were used to promote the bands and record label. They were Usually sold for a buck or $2.99 at a record store and you get 20+ songs.
I was originally going to talk about all six Punk - O - Rama Comps I remember from growing up but it just got so long I’d have to post a 45 min vlog so I cut out the volume 4 talk and will do a part two in a few weeks on 4,5,6.

I’love save the part 2 of Punk-O-Rama for a couple weeks later since it’s more underground vibes. I like to mix it up with a popular nineties item every other week than do a less known item.
I was in middle school and remember my sister who was already outta college and living and working in New York City about a hour train ride away from my suburban town. Took me to see this and loved it! It’s corny AF looking back but the fact u had the guy from Empire Records & That Thing You Do who was always the like 6th lead now was the lead I thought was cool.
Plus I had a 8th grade crush on Jenn Love Hewitt!
Even same as Empire Records soundtrack last week , movie had a bunch of songs in the movie that aren’t on the soundtrack so does this movie 🍿 i’ll be talking em all! It has some great tunes that play. Anyway i’ll be back next #NinetiesFriday with Movie & Soundtrack talk!
