Batman: Mask of the Phantasm (1993)
Office Space (1999)

RIP Andy Piper one of the great Bellingham originals. Was always a pleasure running into him or seeing one of this bands over the year. Only got to see Reeks and the Wrecks once (shortly before Orion was killed) and his drumming vibe is seared into my brain

Finally caught up with the really great If I Had Legs I'd Kick You, and if I'd had to come up with a one word marketing pitch for it I would have gone with "SHEraseHERhead" and amazingly my wife didn't walk out of the room after I told her that

The 8xLP Velvet Underground Matrix Tapes box set should count
omg. Kat Abughazaleh just posted that if she's elected, she'll swear in on a copy of Octavia Butler's Parable of the Sower.
