I am superstitious.

Ever since 1998, the first thing I listen to in the first minutes of the New Year is always something by John Williams. I believe this gives him some kind of strength and verve. Do you find it any weird? Possibly maybe.

:oops:

I always though superstitious people would tough metal/iron/steel or stuff like that.

I'm not superstitious at all (I think it's just dumb to avoid black cats when they cross the street or crap like that) but I do the same about the music. It's a kind of tradition, a nice ritual. Not in the first minute, but I like to say "that was the first thing I heard this year".

I always do the same for the "last thing I heard this year" too, though.

I have always decided to listen John Williams brilliant

music for the first minutes of the coming year but every

time I am so drunk,that I cannot find my cds...or remember what movies

he directed....or my name.... :|

...or what year you're about to start...

I never get drunk because I don't drink alcoholics but I get pretty insane after drinking a big bottle of Coca-Cola (last year an entire 1,5 litres all by myself while my friend where drinkin' beer).

I had the same weird mental trip like when Homer Simpson ate the huge rattlesnake Mexican pepper at the chili-fest.

You look too young to drink in your avatar.

Yeah, definitely waaay too young. LOL

Star Trek The Motion Picture Main Titles...

It started Star Trek...good enough to start a new year.

What better way to start off the new year with the bu-bu-bu-BUM at the end (the original is still the best sounding bu-bu-bu-bum out of all the main title recordings)?

It most certainly did not.

Who the hell cares about the stuff on TV?

Thanks to my father, the first music I heard in 2006 was from someone called Katie Melua. I requested he turn his music off, so I could listen to John Williams first, but unfortunately, he wouldn't. Thankfully, the second thing I heard this year was the Raiders March! Of course in the hope of Indiana Jones 4 being done this year. :baaa:

First thing I heard this year (apart from the unfortunately picked up snippet of Lady Marmelade on TV)

I provide a counselling service for such mishaps - at a very reasonable rate.....

....EEEEKKKK

Here wood gives good luck like a rabitt's leg!

Shesh!

I feel so dirty now...

Well, we don't TOUCH wood for luck, we knock on it. I suppose there is a slight difference.

When the ball dropped in Times Square I played the Superman title march.

That's not superstition; it's tradition.

I've been doing the same kind of thing for years: I play Goldsmith & Williams scores to start & end the year-- plus other composers (mostly Broughton, Poledouris, Elfman, ...), but I start with several scores from these two.

The first thing I heard this year were the voices. They won't go away.
