Title: Break Music Thread
Post by R_F_Fineman on Oct 10th, 2011 at 4:56pm
The first titles are months away, nonetheless it may be a good idea to restart this popular thread.

Caleb has done a great job providing music for many marathons. Currently he is down on Wall Street "sticking it to the man" in a peaceful organized protest, and barring the possibility that the G-men make him Whitey Bulger's room mate, we look forward to seeing him in February.

Last year Mrs F and I did the pre-show and break music selections and enjoyed it greatly. We volunteer again this year and welcome any suggestions regarding songs that would fit with a given title or a general theme.

You guys did a bang up job last year. Consider the baton officially passed.
I'll chime in with suggestions as the inspiration hits.

I'm greatly appreciative of the efforts of all those involved in putting together the music for the event. My only regret is that we haven't put together a system to have the music play at a bit louder (but not excessive) volume, and have it be uniformally piped through the theater.

A request for next year perhaps?

     There is a way of doing that, but youd have to rent some equipment.

     But really, all yuks aside, by renting a minor piece of equipment you could send the signal into the booth & out into the theatre's sound system.
     If you could stop choking into the toilet, of course....

I'm all for that and so, I'm sure, are the nice people who have the misfortune of sitting directly in front of the single loudspeaker that currently pumps the music and the announcement mike. In the early morning hours it was with a heavy heart that I looked out onto their tranquil, sleeping faces and punched in R.E.M's "End of the World."

Speaking of "End of the World", is the first hint of the Marathon lineup upon us? Could LA be sending a secret coded message with his suggestion for a SCORE?  ::)

You say get the Thon to pony up as if there is some board that opens up its' collective wallet and pays for this stuff.  Most of the stuff that you see is donated.  Stuff that costs money has to be approved by the  G man hisself.  That's where you have to go for this type of stuff unless one of the many wonderful volunteers can come up with something gratis.  Who knows that has happened.  However, if it costs money G and only G can green light it.

My only regret, back when I was programming between-film music, was never including the Carpenters' "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft (The Recognized Anthem of World Contact Day)."

Note: A special prize will go out at SF37 to the first person who can tell me (right here) the only song I played between films -- I'm pretty sure it was SF28 -- that was actually a recording I made with me on guitar and vocal.

With a good secret suggestion from LA, I've got Break Music for the two titles announced so far, but with the 'Thon three weeks away where are the rest of the titles?
I may have to lay off my staff,




and replace them with Siri! :o


Title: Re: Break Music Thread
Post by R_F_Fineman on Jan 23rd, 2012 at 9:14am
We've hit the ground running on the titles!

LA suggested the rich melodic theme from the Charlton Heston "Omega Man"; like Vangellis' gorgeous music for "Blade Runner", this makes for great pre-thon background music for the excited and chatty crowd....check!
Ookla The Mok fans...check!
The Carpenters fans er, uh, fan...check!
Like the gentle tonality of 1930's Sweet Jazz, Harry Belafonte or Sid Vicious?...check!
Warren Zevon?...check!
DEVO?...check!

I stand corrected on the "Cowboy Bebop" title. It turns out not to be the live-action black and white serialized film about folk singing/bar fighting bounty Hunters that was well received one or two years back. What was that called?

The one we're getting? Well, it's Japanimation. If the film is as coherent as the trailer then I've got a little Marvin Gaye number waiting.  ;)

Yeah, Warren Zevon's "Roland the Headless Thompson Gunner" seems a natural for Re-Animator, and of course "Frankenstein" by Edgar Winter Group. Maybe "Let's Talk Dirty to The Animals" by Gilda Radner for Island of Lost Souls. "Martian Hop" for Paul.

The tough one is the return of "Battlestar Gallactica". Last year I used "It Ain't Easy Being (Lorne) Green." and "Yoshimi vs. the Robots." We came up with a couple of okay robot titles but I'm still racking my brain. Any thoughts there?

Also, any word on whether we can get the equipment required for the music to play through the theater sound system? For the people seated next to the current PA speaker this would be a happy addition. :)

     As I said, the equipment necessary to do this is not hard to get, but nobody has asked me anything about it.

There was one year when the CD for playback was set up in the projection booth to go through main audio system, but due to Dave's hectic schedule very few discs were actually played. So unless you want to sit up by the booth and start each disc yourself it doesn't really work to approach it that way.
I don't think it's realistic to expect Dave to play DJ with everything else that he has to get done during our thing.
Just sayin'

     That is absolutely not what I'm suggesting!
     What RF has to do is rent a radio transmitter & receiver.  Run the audio into the transmitter through cables (RCA to XLR, in all likelihood), send the signal to the receiver in the booth, the receiver signal is sent through XLR cables into the booth mixing board, inputted into the sound system, and voila!  All I have to do is make sure the right button is selected during the breaks, which I think I manage [sarcasm].
     Should be pretty cheap to rent.  I can hook it all up in fifteen minutes.

Love that song. We had the original version by Neil Innes of Monty Python fame on a "possible" list before titles were announced.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neil_Innes

Although he's a spaceman Paul's not really Urban so we came up with songs by Arco and the Atlanta Rhythm Section on that one. "Urban Spaceman" along with songs about strange babies, blue aliens, white musical aliens and their ilk  have made it to our database and may well make it to the musical lineup someday. (Songs about crazy people are set for about ten marathons worth!)

Thanks for the imput. It looks like Robot songs are in demand this year. We have Mojo Nixon and Elvis Costello all over Enhidran and board members have been helping out on Gallactica II

Overall this year is just asking for it!
Thanks for the ideas. Keep them coming.

I may be angry about the quiz thread being hijacked but I'm not THAT angry. William Shatner songs two years in a row! What would the 'thoners have to do to deserve that kind of punishment. That would be like running a made-for-TV space opera from the '70's and then the next year...oh never mind.

Truth be known, I'm actually excited about the whole lineup including "Gallactica II". In fact, there's nothing I would sleep or eat through without somehow thinking that I had missed something. Or, in the words of Gallactica II costar Lloyd Bridges:

Well since the villain in Robot looks like Elvis and there are multiple copies of him, how bout Mojo Nixon's "Elvis is Everywhere"?
Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" for Frankenstein.
Devo's "Jocko Homo" (are we not men, we are Devo) for Dr Moreau.
And Boomtown Rats "Up All Night" as opening theme music for the thon itself.

And as always, I'd like to request "Happy Trails to You" by Roy Rogers as part of the closing marathon music.
We'll Meet Again was great too.

Appo-poly-loggies from your long-suffering narrator for being short with many of you, as I had a splitting headache which woke me up at 04:00 on sunday. This is not a good way to start the 'thon.

We knew the schedule was going to be tight and that most of the planned music would never get a shot at the big time. The legion of unused titles listed here remain in our [reserve] playlist in the hope of gracing future 'thons.

PRE-SHOW MUSIC: Just Didn't Happen. We arrived at 09:30 Minutes before everybody else was let in. Streaming music to the theater speakers failed, as it later would to DVD projection audio on DIMENSIONS and FOLKLORE. By the time the front-row hair-parting speakers were set up it was almost showtime. ["Great Balls Of Fire"-Jerry Lee Lewis and many others!]

RISE OF THE PLANET OF THE APES-"Too Many Monkeys!" "Gorilla You're a Desperado" -Warren Zevon  "You Look Like a Gorilla" -Ookla the Mook. [Reserve: "The Monkey Song" -Harry Belafonte]

BRAINSTORM: "If You Could Read My Mind" -Gordon Lightfoot cover by Matthew Sweet "Your Picture in My Mind" ["In Dreams" -Roy Orbison]

WAR OF THE SATELLITES: "Satellite of Love"-Dave Matthews and "Watching the Satellites" -the Flaming Lips  [Reserve: "It Ain't Me Babe" -Bob Dylan]

THE ROBOT ENDHIRAN: "Are We Human (or Are We Dancers)" [Reserve: "Elvis is Everywhere" Mojo Nixon, "Miracle Man" -Elvis Costello]

"Leave Your Hat On" Karaoke vers. was used for the tinfoil hat contest.

DIMENSIONS: "Dave's Not Here Man" -Cheech and Chong (impromptu)

ATTACK THE BLOCK: "Brixton's Guns -the Clash (Thanx LA) "We Will Rock You" -Jamaica Soundsystem cover of Queen [Anarchy in the UK-Sex Pistols]

ISLAND OF LOST SOULS:  [ "Jocko Homo (Are We Not Men?)" -DEVO "Walk Like a Man" -the Four Seasons, "House of Pain"-Deep Purple]

SCANNERS: "I Thought I Heard My Head Explode!"-Matt Keating ["I guess I just Lost My Head", "I'm Burning For You"]

FRANKENSTEIN: "Puttin On The Ritz" -Gene Wilder/Peter Boyle er, uh cover. "Frankenstein" -Aimee Mann, [ "In Just Seven Days I Can Make You a Man" -Rocky Horror]

RE-ANIMATOR: "I Ain't Got No-body"-1928 Jazz vers.  "Put Your Head On My Shoulder" -Paul Anka, "I Go to Pieces"

COWBOY BEBOP: THE MOVIE:: "What's Goin On? -Marvin Gaye " "Boom Boom Boom" -John Lee Hooker

...............Break music ended afer this due to time constraints...................

PAUL: ["Alien Song" -Rasputina, "Feeling Like An Alien"-Antlanta Rhythm Section "Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft"]

An al-time-GREAT 'thon thanks to all involved even if they just showded up to help make it the worlds-best sleepover party! :D

One of the ideas mrs. F and I have been waiting for a chance to explore:

The Somerville opens its doors early, thus providing a bonus of settling-in and getting face time with fellow 'thoners. Yay Somerville!  Unfortunately, the pre-marathon music has been limited due to a lack of equipment until almost the last minute. If we ever did find a way to have the music up and running as soon as the crowd takes their seats, a great entertainment option exists.

The Internet Archive* has a wealth of public domain old time radio programs, many of them science fiction, that could be aired during the 45 minutes or so before the first fireball is dropped.

Submitted for your approval:
"X-Minus 1" from the 50's
http://archive.org/details/XMinus1_A

"A Princess of Mars" and "Gods of Mars" from Edgar Rice Burroughs' John Carter series:
http://archive.org/details/princess_mars_0810_librivox
http://archive.org/details/gods_of_mars_librivox

The CBS Suspense series:
One of the titles is "Demonlover"** With a title like that you know it has to be good! ;)
http://archive.org/details/otr_cbsradiomysterytheater

Not forgetting the MLO, there is of course, Orson Welles' iconic "War of the Worlds"

Does this appeal to anyone, or is the preference for the traditonal instrumental music?



*The archives also has quite a few streaming movies dating back to the silent era, including "Flash Gordon" the elusive "Things to Come"
http://archive.org/details/ClaCinOnl_ThingsToCome  which I've avoided watching it in hopes that it may yet one day grace the Somerville screen.

Baseball DJ Ejected


The home plate umpire for Wednesday's Daytona Cubs-Fort Myers Miracle game may have been figuratively "blind," but he wasn't experiencing any problems with his hearing.

It led to one of the funnier scenes we'll see from a minor-league game all season as umpire Mario Seneca took immediate objection to hearing "Three Blind Mice" playing after he had made a questionable call at Daytona's Jackie Robinson Ballpark. The umpire wheeled around and motioned to the press box that Derek Dye — a DJ intern on summer break from the University of Illinois — was getting the old heave-ho.

"Incredible Shrinking Man" starring Rhubarb the cat and a bunch of two legged actors with fewer awards!



I'm thinking a Tom Jones number plus Randy Newman and Stone Temple Pilots on that one.

"Fifth Element" has me leaning toward numbers by Rick James, The Beatles and Matthew Sweet.

The Japanese "Hunger Games" type film will take a little more research but with possible songs like Queen's "She's a Killer" makes it too look like a good music fit! :)

I have a feeling that this is going to be a big year. :)

The Break Music Database is working pretty well. To get music to match movies that mrs. F or I have already seen, we enter keywords that match song titles, lyrics or refrains. "The Fifth Element" and "The Incredible Shrinking Man" were slam-dunks for the BMDb.

---Music Spoiler Alert---

"All you Need is Love" -The Beatles
"Super Freak" -Rick James
"Does She Talk?" -Matthew Sweet

and

"Creep (Half the Man I Used to Be)" -Stone Temple Pilots Orig.
"What's New Pussycat" -Tom Jones
"Short People" -Randy Newman

The real challenge is finding music for movies that we have not seen, like "Battle Royal". Fortunately the IMDb provided some pretty tantalizing keywords, many suggesting comic, gruesome, violent, murders among schoolkids on a remote island. (We suggested "Black Sheep" so we're up for this one!)

The queries produced plenty of good choices. I'm leaning toward:

"Finished with Finishing School", The Upper Crust
"She's a Killer", Queen
"I Guess I Just Lost My Head", Karen Carpenter

Other promising candidates:

"(What's so Funny About) Peace Love and Understanding", Elvis Costello
"Die Die Die" or "I'm Not a Killer", Evil Dead Soundtrack

Help Build the Database!
If you hear a new indie or a golden oldie that has a song with keyword potential, please PM me with the title, artist and keyword and I'll  give it a listen and add it to the database.

For example:
I stumbled across composer/musician Jonathan Coulton recently. He has a song "Red Shirt" with Star Trek, death, casualty, as a potential keywords.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E90oZSY9M-s

He also has a song "Code Monkey" with computer, technology, office worker potential keywords.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qhV4mSn1jrY&list=PL2CDE14F2DA627DF3&index=4

Another delightful ditty "re. Your Brains" has zombie, apocalypse keyword potential.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BFqixXevtOY

Given that many of his titles have sci-fi/horror/fantsy lyrics, the guy's a gold mine! Know any more artists like this? Pass 'em on.
ps. LA: I actually LIKE the Drinking Shrinking Man soundtrack and plan to use it for the pre-thon medley. Thanks for the link. :D

Phase IV
I'll admit I didn't have a lot of ant songs in the BMDb but that glaring shortcoming has been corrected.

--SPOILER ALERT--

Here's what I've got:

Ants in Your Pants -Jim Henson vers.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7toxlOsG6s&playnext=1&list=PL86FB0F848923880C&feature=results_main

Army Ant Song -Tom Waits vers. from Orphans
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBkyaJqQ-50

High Hopes -Frank Sinatra and children
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=54yGSDBXdCM

Any thoughts?

Title: Re: Break Music Thread
Post by da_Bunnyman on Jan 6th, 2013 at 11:56pm
Tough choices so far on films.
I'd vote for High Hopes for Phase IV.
Only thoughts I had for Shrinking Man might be Particle Man by They Might Be Giants.

And once again I'm suggesting/requesting Up All Night by Boomtown Rats for pre-marathon music and Happy trails To You by Roy Rogers for an exit tune

You could be onto something with the Rats, but why stop there when we could go for a medley!

The BMDb currently has:
-"Wake Up", The Clocks
-"Up All Night", Boomtown Rats, Blink 182, One Direction
-"All Night Long", Joe Walsh, Lionel Ritchie
-"Stay Up Late", The Talking Heads
(all songs are originals that share the same title, not covers)

This will work only if the sound system is up and running in advance.

As concerns Roy Rogers...

V for Vendetta: Believe it or not, despite great reviews, I avoided seeing this thinking it would play the 'thon and I was right eight years later! ;)

For those who have seen it, which of these potential songs are the best fit: given the big-brother, conspiracy, anarchy, conflict, torture and other stuff I can glean from the previews?

Anarchy in the UK, Sex Pistols
Breaking the Girl, Red Hot Chili Peppers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iyu04pqC8lE
Clampdown, the Clash
Every Breath You Take (I’ll Be Watching You), The Police
Fear the Future, sh!t Disco
The Guns of Brixton, The Clash
Heroes, David Bowie
I Could Have Lied, Red Hot Chili Peppers
I Don’t Trust Nobody, George Thouroughgood
London Calling, The Clash
Momma Said (there’d be days like this), The Shirells
Secret Agent Man, Johnny Rivers
The World Belongs to You, Jonathan Coulton
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDB8iL44qlg
They Can’t Take That Away from Me, Ella Fitzgerald
Twilight Zone, Golden Earring http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a1sf2CzEq0w
The Walls Came Down, the Call http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_kX8lqXAONg

i saw vendetta when it came out. now as you know i am all for  the people rising up against an oppressive regime but i left the movie with a 2 word review: liberal rubbish. it will be interesting to see it again.

try to remember, robert goulet.
gunpowder and lead, miranda lambert
domino, van morrison
my guy, mary wells

How about Martian Hop for John Carter?
Surfin USA for Escape From LA?

I vote for Heroes by Bowie for Vendetta.

No idea at all for Reptilicus.

*Yeah Bunnyman, "Heroes" is among the richest and most melodic tunes on the list. A good number of people in the front rows spontaneously sang along with the Wilder/Boyle version of "Puttin' on the Ritz" after "Frankenstein" last year. This leads me to think that the Call's edgy, anarchistic "When the Walls Came Down" with its nay-yah-ya-yai--ya-yai-yah refrain might be a good choice as well.

Bowie also did a german version of "Heroes"--"Helden" that may find a spot should the right film, perhaps concerning heroic german space travelers, show up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXV3rlr9G04  ;)

**Rather than whipping out the credit card and buying more songs, I'll try to work with the ones I have for now.  All good suggestions though.

***No need to worry about "Reptilicus". Knowing that watching a giant monster provide his own brand of urban renewal is not an'if' but a 'when' at the 'thon, we've been stockpiling titles for such occasions.

Garen and LA have made our job easy this year. Tagging a tune to an engaging film is a whole lot easier than it is to find a fit to a snorer. I still don't know what songs could have possibly gone with "Chrysalis", "Terminal Man", or "Niagrivation" except for maybe George Thorogood's "Born to be Bad".  :)

I think I was singing along with them.
Heck two of my fave sing-alongs of all time were from last years marathon "It's The End of the World As We Know It" (ok, I only sang along with the chorus) and the ending song "We'll Meet Again".
While I still request "Happy Trails To You" for an exit tune, that is a very worthy substitute.

It looks like the break music will be scaled down significantly this year. A PDF of the flight plan is now available for download. Upon reading it, I discovered:

1. John Carter
-Short...probably No Break Music.
2. Reptilicus
-Tinfoit hat......No Break Music.
3. Johnny X
-Trivia contest......No Break Music.
4. War of the Worlds Goliath
-Short......probably No Break Music.
5. Battle Royal
-Alien Mating Cry...No Break Music.
6. Safety Not Guranteed
- Unannounced short...probably No Break Music.
7. Incredible Shrinking Man
-short......probably No Break Music.
8. Phase IV
-BREAK MUSIC! (unless running late)
9. Hands of Orloc
-BREAK MUSIC! (unless running late)
10. V for Vendetta
-short......No Break Music.
11. Escape from LA
Closing announcements......No Break Music.
12. The Fifth Element
closing music.

It looks like mrs. F and I will be sitting on a lot of unused tunes. We'll bring along the full compliment of break music just the same. There may be some time to put a few bars in.

I'll post the planned playlist here after the 'thon for those interested in what we came up with.

Title: Re: Break Music Thread
Post by R_F_Fineman on Feb 18th, 2013 at 8:11pm
This was an unusual year in that we were actually ahead of schedule late in the 'thon. Had the "5th Element" print not been so fragile, we would have ended right on time.

A veteran Marathoid came up to me after "The Incredible Shrinking Man" and said...oh, I get it, you're playing songs that fit the movies. EUREKA! :D It's understandable that he wouldn't notice right away, given the natural clamour during breaks and that some sections of the theater have difficulty picking up the sound. The Somerville will have a FIX NEXT YEAR with a permanent Microphone and audio jack on the stage!

Just a quick note from me for your great work and great choices.
Especially liked Time Goes By by Jimmy Durante.

And as always amid saying goodbye to marathon friends this bunnyman almost lost it as We'll Meet Again came on.

That does not mean I'll stop requesting Happy Trails though.

Thanks Bunnyman. It's good to be appreciated.

You want more Jimmy Durante? You got him:

http://archive.org/search.php?query=creator%3A%22Jimmy+Durante%22

He stands out not only his soulfoul vocals but also for his amazing skills at the piano, proving that the Schnozolla wasn't just another pretty face! :D

http://archive.org/details/JimmyDurante-11-20

A lot of his stuff is not only free but surprisingly good and often a good fit for the 'thon. "I'll Be Seeing You" for example, is just asking for the common "Big Brother is watching" themed film.

Welcome back Music Guy.
And if the sound system is set up ahead of time at SF39, I'd like to suggest/request the Futurama theme as a tribute to the just ended series. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3jRM45yO9Rg

As to the new Shatner song collection, I think the mystery of the title is if he knew how shockingly weird and spaced out his first one was.
It is scary to think the music world has caught up with him though.

This year's Terrorthon looks like a really good Sci-fi Marathon year minus the Gort Winner, four recent releases and, of course, Duck Dodgers.

Nobody has asked, but just for fun I challenged the "BMDb"

Good One Bunnyman. I added "Pistol Packin' Mama" by Roy Rogers and the Sons of the Pioneers in your honor. ;)

The 'thon recently ran "Rise of the Planet of the Apes"
I used this one:

"Gorilla you're a Desperado" -The Late Warren Zevon

"Big Gorilla at the LA Zoo
Ripped the sunglasses from off my face
took the keys to my BMW
Left me here to take his place."

"I wish the Ape a lot of success.
I'm sorry the apartment's a mess.
Most of all I'm sorry if I made you blue.
Chances are the Gorilla will too!"


Here's a live performance from the 80's. Zevon, being Zevon, changed the later lyrics.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=epov4_3h2-w

Given the modern day Californian setting of the song, it was a better fit for "Rise" than it would be for the original one.

This one, by the Dixie All-Stars seems a good fit, given the ending of the Heston version:

"New York ain't New York Anymore (1925)

Woo Hoo! the 80's Flash Gordon is a personal favorite, but it's pretty hard to put music at the end of a movie that has so much good music in the first place.
Here's what "Colossus the Music Database" has to say:



                                         
[th]      [/b]/[th]

                                         
                                                                                                           
     Ttile (Year)            Song            Artist      
     Flash Gordon (1980)
     --            Bad to the Bone            George Thuorogood      
     --            Bitch            Goo Goo Dolls      
     --            Crazy Love            Paul Simon      
     --            Crawlin from the Wreckage            Dave Edmunds      
     --            Eve of Destruction            Barry McGuire      
     --            Everybody Wants to Rule the World            Tears for Fears      
     --            Everybody Loves My Gal            Jimmy Durante      
     --            Heroes            David Bowie      
     --            It's Rainin' Men            The Weathergirls

     --            You Made Me Love You            Ella Fitzgerald      
     --            (Nice Day for a) White Wedding            Billy Idol      


I'm leaning toward numbers by Tears for Fears, Warren Zevon and Billy Idol, although the Goo Goo Dolls pretty much sum up Princess Aura. What does everybody think?

Tough call on Flash Gordon, personally I'd vote for Bowie's "Heroes".
Maybe Harry Nilsson's "Spaceman" or Bonzo Dog Band's "Urban Spaceman"?

Although if Gravity ends up being shown they'd fit there too.

Since the music by "Queen" is so prominent in "Flash Gordon", this Hammer Films/Peter Cushing homage should make its appearance on the board.

"Doctor Who and the Daleks" has finally arrived after two decades lost in South America! :) As I recall, that was the year we had to get an emergency fill-in and the crowd got to vote for either "Mad Max" or "I Monster" I was on the losing side of that vote and only got to see "I Monster" last year. It was a good Hammer/Sir Christopher Lee's retelling of Dr. Jekyl and Mr. Hyde but fairly low key for its late night fill-in spot.

No, the I, MONSTER vs MAD MAX vote was SF/16. DR. WHO 'disappeared' into South America early enough that something else was booked in time for the 20th Marathon (LOBSTERMAN FROM MARS, I believe)

Electric Dreams has just been announced.
It pretty much sounds like a Cyber Cyrano deBergerac and the IMDB mentions that it was remade. Not having seen the remake either, the keywords like technology, strange + love or romance may or may not produce a good song and we still wouldn't be sure. For example: Jonathan Coulton's "A Laptop Like You" or Bobby Darin's "Mac the Knife" could be a hit or a miss. I'm guessing that neither Virginia nor the nerd are bad people and the computer just wants to be loved.

Not all titles are slam dunks for Colossus the Database. "Forbidden Planet" for example has just about every science fiction element imaginable. This one, on the other hand, has IMDB keywords like San Francisco, Boy with Glasses, Cello and Pepsi! Tony Bennet's famous song would only work if someone really did get seperated from their heart. Since David Kronenberg didn't direct this romantic comedy, it's not a likely scenario.

Does anyone who has seen it want to PM me some storyline hints? :o

Jonathan Coulton's "Code Monkey", a catchy tune about a computer tech with a crush on a co-worker, is a pretty good choice:

Wild Wild West by Escape Club for WestWorld
The Urban Spaceman by Bonzo Dog Band for Silent Running.

Although since Harry Belefonte stars in World The Flesh & The Devil maybe could use The Banana Boat Song. Its chorus of "Daylight Comes and Me Wanna Go Home" fits a film marathon somehow.

You can see some ideas for "Westworld" about a dozen posts back when it was slated for the Horrorthon.

"The World, The Flesh and the Devil" was a slam dunk for the BmDb. While a Coal Mine and Smiling Dummy figure into the story, Love, New York, Depopulation and the A-Bomb offered plenty of choices:

"Silent Running" is such a gentle and somber film, I'd really hate to follow it up with the punk version of "Eve of Destruction" or "Iron Man", remembering that the song for the film was done by Joan Baez.

"The Power" is also a fun one, being a cerebral storyline. The Hero's name is Jim, thus the last song on the list. :)

By the looks of it, the body count is pretty high and Europa is a moon after all. I'm fond of the Waterboys' song, partly for the lyric:

"You saw BRIGADOON." A term Garen often used to describe the festival/'thon. :)

"The Visitor" is another fun one for break music titles. Again I haven't had the er, uh, pleasure of seeing this demonic debacle, but it looks to have a "Lady Terminator" vibe about it. Good movie: hell no! Good fit: hell yes!

The first bunch of titles are based on the girl evil, demon, "possession", "school" and "bird" elements. The last ones are based on the low quality score.

Yep, it's on LA's official locked thread. "The Truman Show" has just been added. "I'll Be Watching You" by The Police and Alan Parson's "Eye in the Sky" immediately jump into my thoughts. I'll see what Colossus has to say shortly. Chime in on any of these anybody, there are a lot of great song titles I know nothing about.

Right now we're leaning toward "Boy in the Bubble" with it's lyric:

"The way the camera follows us in slo-mo
the way we look to us all"


Or the Al Bowley Orchestra (who did the closing song in "The Shining")

"It's only a paper moon
looking over a cardboard sea
but it wouldn't be make believe
if you believed in me."

I saw "Children of Men" when it came out in '06 and immediately thought it would be a great film for the Marathon. Here it is eight years later and just in time!
The keywords birth, government conspiracy and apocalypse generated these titles. There should be a really good song out there inspired by Michael Caine's character. Any thoughts?

Y'know if I'd been paying more attention I would've suggested Happy Trails To You for Westworld.

I'm voting for It's the End of the World As We Know It by R.E.M. for Children, if for no other reason than it's a great sing along song.

Now, How many of these screams have been heard at the 'thon?

First film announced:
"Snowpiercer"
http://sf.theboard.net/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1416071317

Train songs? Songs about the cold? Songs about rich and poor?
This one's going to be so easy. Mrs F and I came up with these on the way to picking up a pizza without consulting the database:

"Ticket to Ride" -The Beatles

"Crazy Train" -Ozzy Osbourne

"Money" -Pink Floyd

"Baby It's Cold Outside" -Ella Fitzgerald

""Let It Snow, Let It Snow, Let It Snow" -Traditional Christmas song.

The local favorite: "Charlie on the MTA" involves a smaller train but the riding forever and never returning refrain makes it a good fit. ;)

All songs aside, it looks like a promising first announcement for a great Marathon Year!

Maybe Lou Reed's "Satellite of Love"

Title: Re: Break Music Thread

Hey, not bad. I thought you guys would be suggesting campier stuff like "All I Want for Christmas is my Two Front Teeth"1 "Satellite of Love" shows real promise ;)

Yes "Moonraker" is a fitting homage to the late Richard Kiel and the best choice possible for a Sci-fi film featuring him, given that a restored Director's Cut of his breakthrough film "Eegah!"2 isn't likely to show up anytime soon.

Yes, he had roles in the Twilight Zone "To Serve Man" alongside fellow talented big guy Ted Cassidy and donned a really silly rubber suit in "The Phantom Planet" but the roles are blink-and-you'll-miss-him. Moonraker is by far his most memorable role.


Quote:
Dr. Holly Goodhead: You know him?

James Bond: Not socially. His name's Jaws, he kills people.


His "Jaws" is far more amusing than the pretty but wooden Lois Chiles and her costar the pretty but wooden Roger Moore.

I was thinking "Big Hands I Know You're the One"3 (Blister in the Sun) or how about Jethro Tull's "Bungle in the Jungle"4

I'll plug the usual keywords into the database and spit out a long list just for fun but I think I know where this one is headed.

The Nylons "This Island Earth" was a naturally good selection: thanks for the find. I'm also inclined toward the Nouvelle Vague cover of "Blister in the Sun" and Show Business Giants musical homage to the late Russell Johnson. There are a lot of good choices for this sci-fi classic.

Title: Re: Break Music Thread
Post by Joe Neff on Nov 24th, 2014 at 11:34pm
Sort of with Caleb on this one.  I've been programming the intermission music for the Columbus Horror Marathons for quite awhile, and it's always a fine balance on how to program each break.  I tend to favor proper atmosphere first, sticking as close as I can to horror-related material that's relevant to the previous film.  There are always exceptions (a reprise of Bruce's famed inclusion of Sinatra's "I've Got You Under My Skin" immediately following THEY CAME FROM WITHIN was warmly received), but at heart, keeping the mood as close to the Marathon's genre as possible is my prime motivator.  Horror is sometimes easier, as dissonant or strange music that's not specifically horror-related can be connected with the air of transgression, fear, etc.  Sci-fi can be a bit more difficult, but there's also enough futuristic music (especially in the rich field of early electronic music) to suffice.

That being said, this is Boston, not Columbus.  And I really have no rooting interest in how the intermission music is constructed.  But it's a fun topic to discuss.

Title: Re: Break Music Thread
Post by da_Bunnyman on Nov 25th, 2014 at 10:17pm
I really enjoy the intermission music, often times there's some laughs like High Hopes after Phase IV and also the occasional fun sing along like Its The End of The World As We Know It and The Martian Hop.

Plus the ending song letting me know I've made it through another one and have to say goodbye for another year.
I'm sentimental about the 'thon and shed a tear or two when I get to hear We'll Meet Again as the lights come up.

Then, of course, there's the low road. I plead guilty to playing the children's version of the Beatles' classic "Octopus' Garden" after the silent "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" but in my defense, it was a long break so that the live musician could pack up. I also once played William Shatner's version of "Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds" after "Star Trek".

It was not my proudest moment...Shatner's either. He does have a version of "Rocket Man" that I hope never to have to use...

2001: A Space Odyssey on the big screen in 70mm is not a movie. It's a major cultural event, one that may not be seen by many people in the generations to come as projectors themselves are phased out. Given this, I'm inclined to embrace Caleb's point of view. No audio puns here, but a gentle and dignified continuation of Strauss' elegant and timeless Blauen Donau Waltz after the conclusion.

J Strauss II made his American debut in Boston on June 17, 1872, conducting The Blue Danube for the World Peace Jubilee. For the occasion, Patrick Sarsfield Gilmore, an Irish bandmaster, assembled an orchestra of 2000 and a choir of 20,000.

Of course a marquee film of this nature is bound to be in Marathon prime time so that the musical interlude, if any, is likely to be brief and soon followed by a performance that rivals it in elegance and beauty...the Tinfoil Hat or Alien Mating Cry for example. ;)

Plus the projectionist will be converting things back to another format since this will likely be the only 70MM film shown.
The Blue Danube would be properly respectful and entertaining.

On the other hand.

I can't decide if this is one of those titles that would fit in LA's "Marathon from Hell" playlist or not.

Life on Mars - The Ukulele Orchestra of Great Britain

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nW0ACEOEq6w

It's just that they're so earnest and talented. They really hit the notes well and the arrangement is a real feat given the range of their instruments. :)

Want an encore? How about:

Honestly, given the hammy over-the-top comedy style of Robert Strauss, I thought this would be a late night schlock version of better films such as "The World the Flesh and The Devil" and "The Last Man on Earth", but it turns out the IMDb has some positive reviews. Maybe it will be all right and maybe even a "find".

R.E.M's "End of the World as We Know It" and Roy Orbison's "In Dreams" have been hits in the past as break songs and certainly pump up the audience after a slow, talky film. I'm for mixing it up with titles such as Show Business Giants' "(Looking for A Girl that) Glows in the Dark" and the Larry Douglas' depression era classic "If You Were the Only Girl in the World". 

I've not seen the film so I don't know how much to make of the "dream" "voice" and "radio" elements. What do people who know more about it think?

Most songs portray giant robots in a negative way: "Iron Man" or "Yoshimi vs. the Giant Robots" for example, suggest that a super-powerful, indestructible, metal Goliath capable of mass-destruction was a bad thing. Go figure!

Having seen and enjoyed "Iron Giant" at the 'thon years ago (stop here to avoid mild spoilers), I'm inclined toward "Waiting for Superman" or a couple of songs about too much coffee. Chances are that this one will be another prime-timer that will not include time for break music, but we should be ready just the same.

"Them!" is another great choice and a great opportunity for break music.


Them (1954): It was "Big in Japan"

"High Hopes" went over well after "Phase IV" but it may be too soon for a redux. Jim Henson's "Ants in Your Pants" is fairly catchy as children's songs go; Less so, Tom Waits' "Army Ant Song". Songs with keywords like "sugar", "big" and "queen" can produce some intresting results.


Sandy Descher gives the thousand mile stare in "Them"

There is, of course, the Rolling Stones' "Girl with the Far Away Eyes!"

"The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari" is the silent film like...absolutely nothing else! It was monolithic in its groundbreaking creativity, from it's Weimar German expressionist sets to the creepy ballet-like performance of Conrad Veidt (He was the Nazi baddie in "Casablanca" 22 years and 90 films later.).  The film originated the "Monster Carries Girl in Nighties", "Nobody believes the hero." and final plot twist elements that would generate homages and rip-offs destined to become cliche` in the Horror genre.

I have the greatest respect for this film and sincerely hope that it doesn't get snarked by the fan base, but it probably will. >:(

There are plenty of songs available for the film's classic elements of nightmare, doomed love, insanity, and fear. The trick is picking the three best.

The list includes a lot of very obscure song titles loaded with lyrical charm. One of the most obscure is from the "Clues" album by the late Robert Palmer early in his career. People familiar with "Dr Caligari" and Lil Dagover's performance will see why this is a first rate fit.

Quote:
-----------Sulky Girl-------------

Go tell your sister about it
Go tell your brother the same
Bet they'll only look at you sideways
And call you insane

She wants a new brand of make-up
She can't decide what to wear
She's feels run down
And she can't do a thing with her hair

Refrain:
Well, you paint a picture
Of the whole wide world
But nobody's buyin' from
Such a sulky girl

Nobody gives you no leeway
They sure got a lot to learn
If they won't give you no sympathy
Wait 'til it's their turn

She enjoys messin' her grievance
And so she pouts all day
She won't ever a smile past her lips
Until things go her way
Such a sulky girl

The high road is certainly a redux of "Gort the Visitor" from Bernard Hermann's stunning score. The audio pun is Modern Englishes "I'll Stop the World". Somewhere in the middle are anti-war songs followed by alien visitor and alien love songs.

Songwriter Pete Seeger passed on recently and either his anti-war "Where Have All the Flowers Gone" or Marlene Dietrich's German language version would be a fitting homage. Vera Lynn and Dietrich did an English/German duet of the anti-war "Lili Marlene", but it isn't really a fit. In any case this film demands a dignified musical follow-up.

It is with a heavy heart that I announce that we will not be able to make the Marathon this year, thus ending a streak that began at SF-15. :'(

I, of course, would to be more than happy to query Colossus: the Break Music Song Generator and provide possible musical interludes for this stellar lineup. The titles announced so far are not only great Marathon fits but are ripe for the musical homage treatment what with non-humans, spiders, brains, darkness, Mars, faceless monsters, fools and strange women in the lineup. :D

The late great David Bowie, who will make his appearance in "The Man Who Fell to Earth" might also make an appearance in the break music section with "Spiders from Mars" after "Big Ass Spider". His "Heroes" and the alternate version "Helden", which he performed in the German language like a native speaker, (one of his overlooked talents) never got a chance at the Somerville and are still waiting in the wings.

A song from the early 60's is going through my head right now:


Quote:
Don't know much about History,
Don't know much Biology
Don't know much about Science books
Don't know much about the French I took
But I do know that I love You
and I know that if you loved me too
what a wonderful world this would be.


This has a place after "Idiocracy"

Discuss...discuss...discuss my friends as this lineup is asking for it!

Sorry you can't make it.

I was going to suggest passing on Happy Trails as our exit song this year and going with Bowie's "Unwashed and Somewhat Slightly Dazed" instead.

Sorry R.F will not be making it. Hope we'll see you next year.

Whomever takes over I'll throw some music suggestions at.

Man Who Fell To Earth- Bowie's "Ashes To Ashes"
Starman- Bowie's "Starman"
Idiocracy- "Weird Al's "Dare To Be Stupid."
High Treason- Lennon's "Give Peace A Chance"
Donovan's Brain- George Harrison's "Got My Mind Set On You"
They Live- ZZ Top's "Cheap Sunglasses"
Pitch Black- Sinatra's "Strangers In The Night"

"Donovan's Brain" It's a real chance for Colossus to show its cerebral side:

"I Ain't Got No-body" -Ted Lewis Jazz Band
"It Wasn't Me" -George Thuroughgood
"Can't Get It Out of My Head" -Electric Light Orchestra
"When I held your Brain in My Arms" -The Rifftones
"Why Can't He be You" -Patsy Cline
"It Ain't Me Babe" -Bob Dylan
"Thinking Too Much" -Meiko
"Headwires" -Foo Fighters
"Think Too Much" -Paul Simon
"Be My Head" -The Flaming Lips

Big Ass Spider: Besides "Spiders from Mars", "Buggin' " by the Flaming Lips and "Big Trouble" by Robert Palmer might be good fits.

Anybody want to step up and do the music this year? Or, no someone who does?

I'd be glad to volunteer for music...talk to the folks who have run it in years past, we've talked.

I've got an extensive collection of eccentric stuff, and an evil sense of humor. 

Give me a call at 617.628.8953 or anu3bis@gmail.com and we can work out the details.

ok,  first pass complete,  a little Bowie-centric,  but that's not surprising.   working on a second pass for the less obvious choice (and hopefully funnier)

Congrats on taking over on the break music.

Hope you'll keep either Happy Trails or We'll Meet again as our exit music.

I will buy those songs and put them on my device.
And the backup device.
