"FSU University" Lord help us.

Nooooo thank you.

I kind of feel like that and I haven't even hit fifty.

I've been trying to pick these up just to support the idea of music from TOS being readily available, but Jesus Christ, they're coming too fast. Also, where my Bond CDs at?

I think Oppenheimer deserves this particular win, but I'd be happy for Williams to pick up another Oscar after an unforgivable drought. That said, he'd be winning for a score that would rank only somewhere in the middle-to-bottom among the scores he's put out since the last time he won an Oscar, and that would feel kind of odd.

Have you never been to this site before...?

You could have spent that money on something by Lorne Balfe or whoever the f--k.

It is what it is. I can live with it.

Thor is a noted film-music expert and sounds from his podcasts like a great guy. His stance on expanded soundtracks is utterly baffling to me. But if that oddness is even a small part of what enables him to do the great work he does researching Williams's tv scores, then it's all worthwhile as far as I'm concerned.

I finally got around and listened to disc 20, and have a few thoughts: not too fond of the Ella Fitzgerald "Make Me Rainbows"; I've never cared much for her as a vocalist, though I had never heard of "The Same Hello, the Same Goodbye," so this was a pleasant surprise I'd heard the song "Daddy's Gone A-Hunting" before, but always in godawful quality; it sounds great here, and I finally dig this song I hope to someday hear more about the origin of "Come Tuesday," which is really much, MUCH too good a song to have been in a vault all these years I thought the Kyle Eastwood take on "The Eiger Sanction" kicked ass I had never heard "A Powdered Wig," which is awesome; Johnny is a real standout performer there I wish the Carol Burnett (no relation) version of "Love's the Only Game in Town," which is majestic, had been included instead of the Suzanne Stevens one; but this one is fine I liked the Lou Donaldson version of "The Long Goodbye" more than any on the actual soundtrack! Overall, this disc alone makes me happy to have bought the set.

I really don't see how one would consider oneself to be a John Williams fan and not be invested in hearing every second of the score to Hook. But hey, some folks are built different, I guess.

I listened to this episode tonight at work. There can't be more than several thousand people in the entire world who would be interested in hearing that episode. And of those several thousand, I cannot imagine that a single one of them wouldn't find this episode to be absofuckinglutely fascinating. Terrific listen, and my hat is now permanently off to Mike Matessino. (Not that it wasn't already; it was.)

My pick for first is Checkmate, if the album counts; I can't speak to the actual scores themselves. If the album doesn't count and we're talking actual scores only, I'll go with The Rare Breed (though I'm tempted to say the Lost In Space premiere). Dial of Destiny for last, though hopefully it won't be THE last.

It's almost the equivalent of a commentary track.

Excellent episode, unsurprisingly.

No offense, but this is one of the stupidest things ever written on the internet.

They got my 20-disc box set from France to me quite efficiently, so they're alright in my book.

Based on the image, I'd just about rather die than have to watch that. Either way, I got my copy in the mail today. What a gorgeous box set! I probably won't be able to make time to listen to it until next year, but this is a lovely addition to my collection.

I didn't know this existed, but plan to get a copy now!

Music Box is preparing my shipment, so I guess more copies have landed!

Not me, but it seems like a perfectly good way to go about it! Mine is out for delivery, so I'll at least have the option pretty soon.

Didn't even know it existed!

Same here. If it has audio issues, my ears can't hear them.

I broke down and ordered a copy from Music Box, even though they are out of stock. Hopefully they get more soon!
