It's interesting looking back at these soundtracks from two generations past. Mp3 download. I still think of anything with a Y2K aesthetic to be recent history but that was over 17 years ago already. Cable guy was even further back, longer than I want to believe. In 1996 Jim Carrey was still the biggest star in the world and audiences simply were not ready for his dark side during that summer. The movie performed 'okay' but well below expectations.

I liked it at the time but I've not seen it for ages, and, honestly, since writer Judd Apatow has gone full SJW recently (and Jim Carrey too for that matter) I don't think I could view it the same way unless a darker extended version came out. As if we had anything to complain about the mid-90s.
Suburbia was still comfortable, the dollar was still worth something, and the darkness that came with the new millennium was inconceivable. Perhaps that is why any of us who were teenagers at the time of the movie's release feel MUCH older than we should be now in 2017. As with Brainscan, the grungy nature of this soundtrack now feels quaint and inoffensive. I suppose that Ben Stiller had many of these tracks on a mixtape during production of the movie to help get him in the mood but the selection on offer here feels cheap and lazy. I've never heard of half of these bands. Highlights include Carrey's rendition of Somebody to Love and one track of John Ottman's cartoonish score.
A bonus track popular 90s band Stabbing Westward is tacked on at the end but, as far as I remember, not in the movie itself. Perhaps from a longer cut? Or maybe it was contractual. A victim of uninspiring times rather than an uninspiring movie. Half of these tracks are completely indistinguishable from each other.

The Cable Guy is a 1996 American psychological thriller comedy film directed by Ben Stiller, starring Jim Carrey and Matthew Broderick. It was released in the United States on June 14, 1996. The film co-stars Leslie Mann, Jack Black, George Segal, Diane Baker, Eric Roberts, Owen Wilson, Janeane Garofalo, David Cross, Andy Dick, Amy Stiller, and Bob Odenkirk. After a failed marriage proposal to his girlfriend Robin Harris, Steven M. Kovacs moves into his own apartment.
Taking advice from his friend Rick, Steven bribes cable guy, Ernie “Chip” Douglas, to give him free movie channels, which he does. Chip gets Steven to hang out with him the next day and makes him one of his “preferred customers.” Chip takes Steven to the satellite dish responsible for sending out television signals. Steven tells his problems with Robin to Chip, who advises him to admit his faults to Robin and invite her over to watch Sleepless in Seattle.
Steven takes Chip’s advice, and Robin agrees to watch the movie with him. Chip begins acting more suspiciously, running into Steven and his friends at the gym and leaving several messages on Steven’s answering machine. When Robin arrives to watch the movie, the cable is out, due to Chip, who intentionally sabotaged Steven’s cable. Chip fixes the cable under the condition that they hang out again, to which Steven agrees.
