More "Topic of the Day":

My first soundtrack album was 2001: A Space Odyssey.  Loved it.

I'm also head-over-hooves for the rejected Alex North version on the Intrada label. 

Did Kubrick make a mistake by not using North's score?  I don't know.  As far as I can tell, Kubrick couldn't have made a mistake here.  It was his film, and he could've reused the library cues from Plan 9 From Outer Space if he wanted to.  I've never directed a film (and it becoming increasingly unlikely that I ever will), so I'll trust Kubrick on it.  After all, he has directed some films.

One of the earliest actual soundtracks that I bought was for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."  It was in the cut-out bin at the local mall (35 or so years ago).  The LP vinyl record included the 7", 33 1/3 single to the pop version.  As far as I know, I still have both.

Finally got around this evening to watching last night's finale from Broadchurch. Maybe I'm just an old sap, but I cried through much of it.
Can't exactly explain why this series has affected me deeply.

I've watched half of it.  This is going to be a busy weekend for me, so hopefully I'll be able to squeeze the rest of them in sometime.

Well, this is something that I'd love to see (and hope beyond all hope that they record...but they more than likely won't):  Tony Winner Bernadette Peters Will Head Cast of Stephen Sondheim and Wynton Marsalis' A Bed and a Chair!

Quote
By Andrew Gans
26 Sep 2013

Three-time Tony winner Bernadette Peters will head the cast of A Bed and a Chair: A New York Love Affair, a collaboration between Tony-winning composer-lyricist Stephen Sondheim and jazz musician-composer Wynton Marsalis for New York City Center.

Directed by Tony winner John Doyle and choreographed by Parker Esse, this Encores! Special Event will play the famed Manhattan venue Nov. 13-17.

In addition to frequent Sondheim interpreter Peters, the company will include jazz singer Cyrille Aimée, Meg Gillentine and Tyler Hanes. Additional casting will be announced shortly.

Conceived by Peter Gethers, Jack Viertel and Doyle, the musical event features Sondheim's music arranged and performed by the Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra with Marsalis.

A Bed and a Chair: A New York Love Affair, presented by the combined forces of City Center’s Encores! program and Jazz at Lincoln Center, "celebrates love in New York and love of New York. Native Manhattanite Sondheim and adopted citizen Marsalis (originally from New Orleans) will compare musical notes on their shared passion for our city," according to press notes.

The program will feature more than two-dozen Sondheim compositions, each piece newly re-imagined by Marsalis.

Further information is available at NYCityCenter.org and jalc.org.

City Center’s annual Gala Benefit will take place on Nov. 14 and will include a post-performance dinner at the Plaza Hotel.

I was without WiFi all day which was good as I needed to clean. 

Last month we spent the night in Bend and Keith purchased a new desk and a matching filing cabinet.  A woman who works in the store delivered it when she came down to visit her boyfriend.

Keith spent the day moving his old desk out to the garage and setting up the new one.  Without his computer I don't have a WifFi connection to use mine.

What a nutty little day.  Had a great lunch meeting with a very nice person (at Mo's), picked up some packages, then came home to relax but nooooo.  Got a call that one project we've been working on since June has to go on the fast and I mean fast track.  So, I'll do the liner notes early next week, just did the edit road map for the second score and have to wait for engineer John Adams to get back (Sunday) so we can finalize the mix on the first score.  I will now spend the weekend figuring out the program for that.  The score as used in the film is only about fourteen minutes, but there are a lot of alternates and stuff and I just have to decide how many to use - it's a lot of repetition.  I think my plan will be to use some cues that went unused in the film within the score program, because the score really needs to have some variety - the score works perfectly in the film, but as a listening experience it's disjointed and repetitious so adding a few things will help immeasurably.  It will be a great release, but we now have to announce it no later than first week of November.

I think I'll not do a jog today - no time and I don't want to get all sweaty and have to shower again before tonight's meeting.

I've talked about this before, but few years ago, I had some boxes stolen out of my garage...mostly my musical cast recordings (but not all of them...alphabetically from about BE after Beauty and the Beast through early KE).  :'( Anyway, one of the more expensive (to replace) recordings that I've been looking at is the 1980 Madrid cast recording of Evita with Paloma San Basilio.  Someone on Amazon is selling a new copy right now for over $400!  The least expensive used copy is now $64.95.  There's another listing for one at $75.  Last month, the least expensive used copy was about $120.  I was seriously considering getting this...but I'm SO glad I didn't!

I decided to also check eBay today and someone had a lot of five, count 'em, FIVE different Evita recordings, including the aforementioned Madrid cast recording...AND they even specified that that's on Amazon for $75.  Well, the opening bid was at $24.99, and there were no bids!  The Buy-It-Now price was $34.99 with free shipping!!  I bought that lot the moment I saw it!  The seller has over 99% positive feedback ratings, so I hope that it's all legit.  The lot also includes the Korean cast recording, which is another recording that was among the stolen.  HOO AND RAY!! :D

I told a coworker of mine about this and he said that I'm probably buying back the actual CDs that were stolen from me.  I really doubt it, but anything's possible.
