    They're just trying to keep you humble and help you maintain your fanboy cred.

    So, Jay, will you get a screen cap of yourself and use it as an avatar once Black Friday rolls around?
     
    I am surprised by the amount of topical humor; they have usually eschewed it in the past knowing that the material might sit on the shelf for a while before being tapped for an episode.  I guess knowing that it's was the final batch, it was a case a "Whaddya gonna do?  Cancel us?"  
     
    The swap and having Colin and Ryan do the singing for "Greatest Hits" on last week's episode just screams them knowing its the last go around, so let's have some fun.
     
    Looking forward to the rest of the shows...

    Who put my reading glasses in my sunglasses case?  Probably Zimmer pulling a prank.  Germans don't really get humor.  C'mon, schadenfreude anyone?

    bruckhorn got a reaction from Corellian2019 in Interesting Mike Matessino comments, new release “very soon”!   
    Yeah, it could be Moonraker, but wouldn't it be more interesting if it turned out to be GoldenEye?  With the Williams quote being how he always wanted to score a Bond film and it turns out that he was approached to do GoldenEye, but his agent said he wasn't available.

    This was back when the internet was still somewhat new and we still had dial-up modems.  Before the dark times.  Before the empire social media.
     
    The track title was "The Princess Appears", so that's what we called it.  Or we got specific and referred to it as the music from when Luke is looking out at the sunsets.  Then we'd get into a discussion if "sunsset" was correct or "sunsets".  And then one day a sage said the magic words "binary sunset", thus killing the sunsset/sunsets debate.  Truly, a sad day.

    I heard someone's birth year as being in 2027 last night, no maybe time is more fluid than I think.

    bruckhorn got a reaction from MrJosh in Sony Classical to release Ultimate Star Wars Soundtrack Collection (January 8, 2016)   
    Sounds like he's admitting to malpractice.  He talking about editing the masters instead of making a copy first and tossing anything that got edited out.  When I worked in radio, back in the 90s, and edited commercials using a razor blade, I would always make a copy of the original and use the copy to edit.  The very thought of trying to reinsert a piece of tape less than a couple of inches long (and don't let it get inserted backwards!) makes me shudder even all these years later.
     
    On something like ST:TMP, where the post-production was such a time crunch, that might happen, but still...  (ST:TMP made it easy by editing to the music in places.)

    Happy Birthday to the Maestro.  Got the John Williams playlist going on shuffle today.  "Han Solo and the Princess" currently.
     
    Thought about wearing a turtleneck, but with my neck being as thick as it is...  That and the fact that there's only one man who can rock a turtleneck and make the ladies swoon.  And he's 91 today.

    Yeah.  Back then, the dollar was not strong compared to the pound.  And the possibility of being made to take redundancy, J-Dubs needed all the spare cash he could get.

    bruckhorn got a reaction from filmmusic in Omni Music Publishing Updates   
    As for the second question: I have not seen any announcement from Omni concerning the need for a version 2.0 of Total Recall.  The first version of Batman had one page that didn't match the rest.  The difference was concert pitch vs. transposed (I don't recall which way the problem was), but that could be a reason to do a revision while also making tweaks based on reader feedback.  Trying to decipher the handwriting on the original scores can be difficult at times and the parts (if available to review) might have differences from the conductor's score.  There's a cue in Star Trek II that starts in 4/4 and has a metric change to 4/4 in the second bar.  That might be what's in the original hand-written score, but the metric change isn't a change, so it could be removed in a future revision if other discrepancies needed to be addressed.
