FoundTrack Podcast - Episode 4 - The John Hughes Original Motion Picture FoundTrack

Please join the FoundTrack enterprise for a weekly journey into our new podcast series where we venture into the milky music ways new and old. We will try to keep each podcast short and sweet (roughly 1 hour) comprising of a mix of music sets, interviews, guest DJ's, and some companion material to correspond with our comprehensive weekly event guide.

This week we feature a special tribute to my hero, the late director/writer/producer John Hughes. I've highlighted some of my favorite sound bites/musical cinemagic from his incredible body of work including "Pretty in Pink", "Sixteen Candles", "The Breakfast Club", "Planes, Trains, and Automobiles" and plenty of other soundtracks that are out of print or commercially unavailable.
