I heart Tapeheads! I saw it the day it came out to show my support for my imaginary bf, John Cusack. His long-time friend Tim Robbins co-stars, plus there are so many cameos you'd wet your pants. (Or something equivalent to that. You know what I mean.) As soon as I left the theatre I high-tailed it to Tower Records and picked up the soundtrack (on cassette) due to the extreme awesomeness of the Swanky Modes. The fact that the tape also had Fishbone, Bo Diddley, King Cotton, Devo and so on, well it was a done deal.
From IMDb.com:
After being fired from their jobs as security guards, Josh and Ivan form Video Aces, a video production company. Using Josh's talent and Ivan's business savvy, they attempt to hit it big in the business while doing projects they want to do. Among those whose paths cross with theirs are Norman Mart, an extremely right-wing presidential candidate; Samantha Gregory, a scheming music reporter; and Mo Fuzz, a producer willing to give them a chance or three if they'll work on spec.
