• David Fincher brings to The Social Network the same sense of history unfolding that he established with perfection in Zodiac with the psychological deconstruction of Fight Club. It isn't as flashy a film as the latter, nor as intense as the former, but like Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross' music design, zips along with a kinetic energy ( Read more... )

• I received my both the stereo and mono Beatles box sets and have begun to make new rips as part of my new music library. I had to explain what the situation was with the mono box set to a co-worker today, who was shocked to learn that the Beatles had little if anything to do with the stereo mixes on most of their albums. I remember reading the ( Read more... )

I'm putting the Jaws quartet on the backburner for now as I am presently working to update my Silver Screen Star Trek compilation to switch out the tracks from the horrible sounding GNP Crescendo CD of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan with those from the sonically pristine Retrograde Records edition, and I'll probably do a little ( Read more... )

I've already completed the covers for Towards the Horizon: More Music from the Farthest Reaches, Silver Screen Star Trek and Sensations, with more coming ( Read more... )

I have a lot of material to cover in this entry, so I'm going to start off with a basic health update: it's been a fairly busy day and I have had no problems whatsoever... other than the fact that I'm coming down with a cold. It's a perfectly normal, garden variety cold, but it is rather annoying to be coming out of the aftermath of surgery only ( Read more... )

On the way home tonight, I was thinking about my mix making hobbyThere is no secret to it. The very fact that I listen to a very strange and relatively unpopular genre of music only goes to show that I seek very different things from music than most people do. What I like most about film music are the textures and colors, but mostly the drama of ( Read more... )

Okay, today was officially too warm for my jacket. It's supposed to rain tomorrow, but it is going to be of comparable temperature. I'm debating pulling my lighter jacket out for use tomorrow.

Hot Wax Favorites!

No, I'm not referring to a Brazilian bikini wax job (you have such a dirty mind!), I'm talking about the vinyl I scored over at Infinity Records yesterday. Mad Mike and I went there on a recommendation from Dan, and it was a total blast.
