Har Har Har!!! I'm sure it's not on that list. It was played right after "The Invisible Boy."

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!

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. Wink

Cowboy Bebop has a neat jazz score.

I bring you peace. It may be the peace of plenty and content or the peace of unburied death.

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.

I can't complain but sometimes I still do. Life's been good to me so far.

Thanks guys: Those are some pretty good ideas. I found that songs about animal-non-men, apes, and missing heads weren't hard to find.

Missing Head of French Implant Maker Arrested!

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.

The theme from Bonanza works well does it not?

   As I said, the equipment necessary to do this is not hard to get, but nobody has asked me anything about it.
   You would have to rent it from a company like Rule, & I would be happy to help set it up.
   Thats as far as things got the last time this was brought up....

I have seen the future, and it is sucky digital....

Although the Cylon fighters are not exactly flying saucers they are saucer shaped so how about Flying Saucer Attack by the Rezillos.

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'

Dinner break? What's a dinner break?

   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.

Another idea for Paul, Bonzo Dog (DooDah) Bands "I'm the Urban Spaceman"

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.
