When I last appeared on the “Rose Pricks” podcast, Cecily and I realized we both had quite the infatuation with the movie “Pretty in Pink,” the mid-80’s movie directed by John Hughes. As you know (or maybe you don’t), both songs that open and close my two podcasts are from this movie, in the same scene actually, by the same band, the Rave Ups. “Rave Up (Shut Up)” is for the Daily Roundup, and “Positively Lost Me” is the music … Continue reading →
