I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Heh. I guess more than a few of us downloaded those Game Theory tracks. Shout out: [link]

Oh, ha, that's kind of awesome.

Does anyone have Bow Wow Wow's "Aphrodisiac" they could stick up on BR? In a fit of searching fury I managed to locate all the tracks for the Marie Antoinette soundtrack (minus Vivaldi's Concerto in G, and the original music they used) on various weblogs using elbo.ws, but that was the only track I couldn't find.

if anyone wants it, too, I'd be happy to send along the tracks I found.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I've got it, but Gmail is blocked at work. In the unlikely event that no one else posts it, I'll do it this evening.

I'm assuming you only wanted the 80s music. If not, I have a lot of Vivaldi and Versailles court music (Rameau, etc.).

No, actually I wanted it all! These are the tracks I'm missing, but I think most of them are original score. I'd love the Vivaldi, though.

“Concerto in G” - Antonio Vivaldi / Reitzell
“Intro Versailles” - Reitzell / Beggs
“Opus 17” - Dustin O’Halloran
“Opus 23” - Dustin O’Halloran
“Les Baricades Misterieuses” - Francois Couperin / Reitzell
“K. 213” - Domenico Scarlatti / Reitzell
“Opus 36” - Dustin O’Halloran

Reitzell being the drummer for Air, interestingly enough, and O'Halloran the pianist for the Devics.

Yes, I'd assume the O'Halloran pieces are composed for the movie. Reitzell seems an interesting choice for classical arrangements--did they sound mod at all, or fairly standard? In any case, I'll check what I have.

Surprisingly not particularly modern. I'll admit I was focused way more on the eighties tracks, but the more classical music was reminiscent of other film scores for period pieces. Reitzell has been Sophia Coppola's music director for years, though.

I think Freddy Quimby should walk out of here a free hotel

Is this Scott Miller as in Scott Miller and the Commonwealth? Cause I love those guys.

I've liked the little I've heard of them. 'Thus Always To Tyrants' is on my Amazon wish-list.

Looking through The Great Leap Forward, I'm surprised by how many great CDs are now out of print. I knew that parts of my vinyl collection are worth big bucks, but I had no idea I had CDs that were that valuable.

I'm really, really surprised that Submarine Bells is that expensive 'cause I bought it recently enough and it was a normal, second-hand price. Or at least I thought it was.

Just noticed there's a new show on VH1-Classic called BBC Crown Jewels which raids the BBC archives for live music programming. Looks like it's mostly the seventies and eighties, but from a variety of shows

One of the BBC's digital channels, BBC4, has been showing concerts from that period sporadically over the last couple of months. I can remember an E.L.O. concert and The Kinks. It might be the same material repackaged for America; the series here was, for obvious reasons, not called BBC Crown Jewels.

I'll stick a couple tracks from their most recent album up on BR tonight for you, Spring. It's very good.
