Spinner.com just put a list online entitled "Musician Movie Cameos You Might Have Missed". There's the Lemmy Killmister in Airheads part, Anthony Kiedis with a Mister T. hairdo in Point Break and Pearl Jam in Singles to name but a few. I really doubt though, whether you could have actually missed these cameos, but whatevs. One movie with great musician cameos got left out though. I'm talking about the movie 200 Cigarettes.
Set during New Year's Eve of 1981, in which, according to IMDB, "a collection of twentysomethings try to cope with relationships, loneliness, desire and their individual neuroses".
Long story short, Cristina Ricci is looking for a New Years Party in the Lower East Side, Manhatten, along the way meets Elvis Costello (musician cameo one) and ends up at a concert where Girls Against Boys (musician cameo two) dressed up as "punks" are playing "Boogie Wonderland".
The most important musician cameo (number three) however comes from my friend Marc McCoy, who used to be the singer for my old band Das Oath. He was hired to do The Pogo and is trying to look in the camera as much as possible. Watch below and skip to 00.54.40 to see this particular part. Watch the whole thing over the weekend. It's worth it!
Oh yeah. Courney Love is somehwere in this thing as well (musician cameo 4).
I really doubt though, whether buy cigarettes online legal you could have actually missed these cameos, but whatevs.
