(Sometimes it's good noise, but yes, it's noise.) I posted a <a href="http://uselessdoug.blogspot.com/2008/01/dont-you-remember-you-told-me-you-saw.html" rel="nofollow">little something</a> about how the resurgence of the song by its inclusion in the movie seems to have failed to alert the current on-air personalities that the song came out in '94.

I'm definitely getting the soundtrack when I get a chance and a paycheck.

They had a really budget copy of this release (no artwork, just a tracklisting) and I saw Sonic Youth and Redd Kross on there so I picked it up. I ended up keeping Superstar on repeat in my stereo for at least a month. I can remember get ready for school and hearing this song 7 times in a row. It NEVER got old. Hearing it on Juno made me shed a sad, little Jason Bateman tear. God bless you, Michael Bluth.
