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...

Maybe a compromise with a Van Halen version?

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! Wink

Clampdown, the Clash
Every Breath You Take (I’ll Be Watching You), The Police

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.

**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.

   Wouldnt it be something if certain people who keep bringing up political terminology were aware that anarchy -- promoted by both the movie version of V for Vendetta, but far more vociferously by the Alan Moore written comic from which the movie was derived -- is not part of standard liberal thought? In actual fact, many forms of anarchy (and there are lots) rebel specifically against far-left ideologies such as Communism & Socialism.
   But such awareness would take knowledge, education, intelligence, consideration, thought.
   How silly of me.

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

i took the Facebook quiz entitled "where are you on the political spectrum?" the result was "verging on anarchist". accompanying this verdict was a picture of ron paul.

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.

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! Cheesy

Cheesy

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.

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

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! Cheesy

Cheesy

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.

It seems like snarkiness is making its way onto the board again.

If anybody is thinking of messin' with the break music guy -- Think again! I now have a new and formidable weapon of mass retaliation in my arsenal.

New William Shatner “Ponder the Mystery” Album Announced!

William Shatner has no intentions of slowing down. In his latest artist endeavor, Shatner is embracing the world of "prog rock" in "a momentous concept album focusing on such rich and timeless themes as aging, depression, love and beauty!"

William Shatner: Ponder the Mystery is the latest in a line of albums released by Shatner expressing his unique take on a variety of musical genres. Fresh from the success of the sci-fi themed covers project Seeking Major Tom, Ponder the Mystery finds the iconic actor/space adventurer with feet firmly planted on the Earth, gazing upward at the vast universe, pondering the many facets of conscious existence...
http://trekcore.com/blog/2013/08/new-william-shatner-ponder-the-mystery-album-an...

So be excellent to each other...you don't want to endure the alternative! Wink
