We here at Monster Poison are huge fans of "The Adventures Of Pete & Pete." One of the best television shows of all time, it managed to capture the pathos and ennui of youth without being patronizing or condescending towards a primarily pre-adolescent audience. A component of the show that has received a particular amount of praise is the soundtrack, largely composed by Miracle Legion's Mark Mulcahy. Mulcahy dubbed his side project for the show Polaris, and the soundtrack to the show contains twelve of their most memorable songs from your favorite episodes. "Waiting For October," "Coronado II," "Summerbaby" and of course the theme song "Hey Sandy" are all included here. If you like Miracle Legion, R.E.M. or 80's jangle-pop in general, you'll love this album regardless of whether or not you are a fan of the show. However, if you are like this reviewer and have a fond memory for Nickelodeon, you will take extra joy in the soundtrack to "The Adventures Of Pete & Pete."
