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

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



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

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"
to see what titles it would come up with. It has indeed turned out to be the Colossus of song suggestors. Here is a short list of the half dozen best choices:

     Title (Year) --Song            Artist      
     The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari (1919)

Aw c'mon, for Planet of the Apes, how the heck could they miss "Everybody's Got Something To Hide Except For Me And My Monkey" by The Beatles.

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

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:


     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      
     --            Lovers in a Dangerous Time            Bruce Cockburn      
     --            Mr Bad Eample            Warren Zevon      
     --            Mister Farenheit            Queen      
     --            The Righteous & The Wicked            Red Hot Chili Peppers      
     --            Rocket Man            Puddle of Mudd      
     --            She's a Killer            Queen      
     --            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! Smiley 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.


     Ttile (Year)            Song            Artist      
     Doctor Who                              
     and the Daleks            Anyplace Anywhere Anytime            Nena, Kim Wylde      
     (1965)            As Time Goes By            Jimmy Durante, Vera Lynne      
     ..            Back in the Good Old World            Tom Waits      
     ..            Didn't Mean to Turn You On            Robert Palmer      
     ..            Generator            Foo Fighters      
     ..            It's Been a Long, Long Time            The Ink Spots      
     ..            London Calling            The Clash      
     ..            One More Robot            The Flaming Lips      
     ..            Suddenly Everything Has Changed            The Flaming Lips      
     ..            The Future Soon            Johnathan Coulton      
     ..            The Kids From Yesterday            My Chemical Romance      
     ..            Time After Time            Cyndi Lauper      
     ..            Time is on My Side            The Rolling Stones      
     ..            Time Loves a Hero            Little Feat      
     ..            Turn It On            The Flaming Lips      
     ..            Who Are You            The Who      
     ..            Yesterday            The Beatles      
                                         
     


"Thus Spoke Colossus the Database"

While I am a Peter Cushing fan, I felt it best to leave Boomtown Rats' "Hey St. Peter" off.  Wink Any thoughts from you Hu-Mans?

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? Shocked

Thus spoke Colossus:
     Title (Year)            Song            Artist      
     Electric Dreams                              
     (1984)            (I thought that Love was) Science Fiction*            Divinyls      
     ..            A Laptop like You            Jonathan Coulton      
     ..            Blinded Me With Science            Thomas Dolby      
     ..            Code Monkey*            Jonathan Coulton      
     ..            Crazy Love            Paul Simon      
     ..            I Dream of Wires            Robert Palmer      
     ..            I Want the Angel            Jim Caroll Band      
     ..            Ideal Woman*            William Shatner      
     ..            Love Needs A Heart            Jackson Browne      
     ..            Weird Science            Oingo Boingo      
     ..            You Made Me Love You            Jimmy Durante      
                                         
Jonathan Coulton's "Code Monkey", a catchy tune about a computer tech with a crush on a co-worker, is a pretty good choice:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qYodWEKCuGg

The DiVinyls "(I thought our love was) Science Fiction" is a little more high energy:

Shatner? Well he's just Shatner:

I stumbled on this on YouTube, I wouldn't wish it on the marathon crowd but had to bring it up here before the holiday was over.
