The Looking For Alaska Soundtrack Is a Beautiful Blast From the Past

17/10/2019 - 08:05 PM

Looking For Alaska [1] is a classic coming-of-age novel from YA novelist John Green [2]. Hulu just adapted the novel, and the soundtrack for the drama-filled, eight-episode limited series [3] is everything your early-2000s-loving heart could want. The show's story takes place in 2005, and in order to really nail that early '00s feeling, the soundtrack is filled with iconic tunes of that era, from artists like The Strokes to Modest Mouse, with a couple of newer artists in between. Even better news, BBC Three has picked the series up in the UK, and it'll be available online from 10 a.m. on Oct. 19. If you want to feel like you're in 2005 again [4], scroll through the gallery and get ready for those feelings you thought you'd forgotten.
