The Music Tavern

It was twenty years ago today that I waited in line for almost two hours to see The Phantom Menace.

Twenty years of "Duel Of The Fates".

Have we decided yet if it's a song or merely a track or cue?

Just finished watching TPM on blu-ray. CGI Yoda is so much better than the puppet.

I still listen to the Phantom Menace soundtrack in my car.

 

I'm currently jamming out to Miles Davis's Kind of Blue album.

 

I used to go to a local bar where someone would always play that super long Miles Davis song 4 or 5 times in a row. So that was like an hour of the same song.

 

Hah! Sorry I was at the Coast all weekend. A few rarities:

"Election Day" by Arcadia
"Alors on danse" by Stromae
"The Bad Touch" by The Bloodhound Gang
"Einstein on the Beach" by Counting Crows
"Sour Times" by Portishead
"Here I Go Again" by Whitesnake

 

Last weekend was the 30th anniversary of the release of Indiana Jones & The Last Crusade, so I watched the dvd. Still one of my favorite soundtracks!

When we're in the air with Germany safely behind, then I'll share that sentiment.

 

The expanded score of Last Crusade is one of my all time Williams favorites.

 

Favourite Last Crusade cue, this short cue that plays when Indy and his dad first arrive in the desert with Sallah:

 

Father's Study comes to mind as a great track that was previously unreleased.

 

I said no camels. That's five camels! Can't you count?

 

Compensation for my brother-in-law's car.

 

Name your favorite Jerry Goldsmith score. Mine is Rudy, followed by Alien.

 

Easily Star Trek: The Motion Picture. "The Enterprise" is one of my most-listened-to tracks of all time, film score or otherwise.

 

Star Trek: First Contact for me.

 

Yesterday in Munich was a concert of Ann-Sophie Mutter and the Royal Philarmonic Orchestra conducted by David Newman playing John Williams Music he rewrote for Mutter. Here is the concert:



Tracklist:

Enjoy!

 

Listening to Superman theme.

 

Video blocked by ZDF. Lame.

 

They saved the Raiders march for last. Nice.

 

Forget that. Played all the time. Tintin! Munich!

 

"The Blimp Turns Around" just played in my car. Right before I made a U-turn.

"They're taking up back to Germany!"

 

So your car is a blimp?

 

when we're in the air, with Germany behind us; then I'll share that sentiment.

 

That's such a great scene. "You left just when you were becoming interesting!"

 

'Tis the day t' celebrate, so all rise, an' doff yer 'ats as we join in th' traditional music o' th' holiday! Yarrr!
