Roxy Music ‘More Than This’ 200 Cigarettes is cheesy love letter of a movie, but I do like it. 200 Cigarettes harkens back to Adventures in Babysitting or doing a switcheroo to daytime, Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Anyway, jumping to the point of this post, the 200 Cigarettes soundtrack is 80’s-tastic. Spent some time listening to tracks [...]
