    Watching the movie "SINGLES"
    One of my all time faves from 1992...saw it in SEPTEMBER 1992 when i was a freshman at U OF I. Captures the Seattle scene and the music from that time better than any other movie i know of

    Check it out!

          Citizen Dick's album name "Touch Me, I'm Dick" is a direct reference to the Seattle band Mudhoney and their song "Touch Me, I'm Sick".

          Chris Cornell (of Soundgarden and Audioslave) saw a list of Citizen Dick song titles, all completely made up, which would appear briefly in the film and decided to pen songs to match each title. One of those songs, "Seasons", appears on the film soundtrack. Another, "Spoonman", was later recorded by Chris Cornell's band Soundgarden. It became a hit in 1994 and can be heard in a rough version (perhaps a demo) in the film when an unseen person is posting Citizen Dick flyers.

                    I got it mixed it up with the "Realty Bites" soundtrack.

                    I'm getting old.

                      Listen to the soundtrack when you have a chance. I always remember this time well, AIC, Nirvana, Pearl Jam...all were HUGE then

                        Singles is the original soundtrack album to the film Singles, primarily focused on the ascendant grunge scene of the early 1990s. It also features contributions from Paul Westerberg (his first solo material after the breakup of The Replacements), Chicago's The Smashing Pumpkins, and past Seattle rockers Jimi Hendrix and the Lovemongers (Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart). It was released on June 30, 1992.
                        [edit] Overview


                        The soundtrack is considered to have helped open the door to the explosive popularity of Seattle grunge in the early 1990s. According to Steve Huey of Allmusic, "Singles helped crystallize the idea of the 'Seattle scene' in the mainstream public's mind, and it was also one of the first big-selling '90s movie soundtracks (it went platinum and reached the Top Ten) to feature largely new work from contemporary artists...it's a milestone in the breakthrough of alternative rock into mainstream popular culture, neatly and effectively packaging the Seattle phenomenon for the wider national consciousness."
                        [edit] Track listing

                        1. "Would?" – Alice in Chains
                        2. "Breath" – Pearl Jam
                        3. "Seasons" – Chris Cornell
                        4. "Dyslexic Heart" – Paul Westerberg
                        5. "The Battle of Evermore" – The Lovemongers (Heart)
                        6. "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" – Mother Love Bone
                        7. "Birth Ritual" – Soundgarden
                        8. "State of Love and Trust" – Pearl Jam
                        9. "Overblown" – Mudhoney
                        10. "Waiting for Somebody" – Paul Westerberg
                        11. "May This Be Love" – Jimi Hendrix
                        12. "Nearly Lost You" – Screaming Trees
                        13. "Drown" – The Smashing Pumpkins
