So, I actually prefer TOO HOT TO TOUCH if we were to hypothetically put one track on REPEAT for a week and listen to it over and over.

I still like PUSH IT TO THE LIMIT, though. That has an "edge" (ha!) that is lacking from American Dream.

BUT YOU ARE CORRECT, "American Dream" is so 80's it hurts.

NightWolve · 10/29/2017, 10:15 PM

Dug this 80's gem up after some searching hearing it on the Atomic Blonde soundtrack. Never knew the title of it as "Major Tom."

turboswimbz · 10/29/2017, 11:11 PM

I think the Major Tom in the song is a nod to Bowie's Major Tom...since they have a similar theme. I actually prefer this song in German.

You read my mind! I was playing that CD for my kids and they are amazed that a 5-disc carousel has been sitting in front of them for years, but they never knew it.

This also revealed that the last time I played CD's was last XMAZ. Ha!

Chipmunks XMAZ albums (two of 'em) were also in there.

...and Beach Boys XMAZ.

I wanted to order the vinyl in time for christmas but it's too late. Maybe next Christmas. I was just listening to it on the 1965 Christmas episode and again on the recent Peanuts movie and now I have it on my phone playlist.

I love the Great Pumpkin Peanuts special...it's my favorite one. Anyway, what really, really, really makes it great (the atmosphere it creates is perfect, IMHO) is the SOUNDSCAPE.

I love just *listening* to the entire Great Pumpkin episode.

Needless to say, this "soundscape" (literally, all layers of sound) is 90% responsible for creating atmosphere for me.

Don't get me wrong, there are some truly wonderful visual sequences... but the soundscape is way more important for me (in general, and especially for smaller-budget productions).

BACK ON TOPIC: The music for the Peanuts XMAZ is fantastic.

Ryuchi Sakamoto: Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence

When I heard it for the first time on the radio, I mistook it for something made by Joe Hisaishi for Studio Ghibli or maybe Takeshi Kitano. Then I began research and found out it was a soundtrack done for the 1983 film Merry Christmas Mr Lawrence, starring David Bowie and Sakamoto (Yellow Magic Orchestra) himself. Also, there's even Takeshi Kitano acting in that film. Talk about pleasant surprises.

I watched the movie on Blu-ray last week and it left quite an impression on me.

seieienbu · 01/09/2018, 12:50 PM

I'm not sure how I feel about this one. Nirvana's Smells Like Teen Spirit autotuned to a major key. The original always seemed to me to be the anti-pop song. With a simple key chain this sounds like a dozen pop bands from the 90s. It's certainly interesting but it gives me an odd vibe.

NecroPhile · 01/09/2018, 01:00 PM

It sounds generic, like it could be used as sitcom theme music.

So it sounds like Nirvana then, or smells like them or whatever.

I went to a show last night. Nobody seemed to feel that Shredders is a thing and basically treated it as 4/7 of Doomtree. I've seen these guys more than any other act and they are never not great. This is the first show I've seen with two DJs and no TTs.

Another 80's gem that doesn't last on YouTube for long, can't find the music video anymore: "Boys of Summer" - Don Henley

Some of these DJ David Guetta produced ones are fun.

TransX is soooo good, but I couldn't resist singing along to Simple Man... and I haven't heard it in decades. So what does that tell you?

And the MagicalChaseDrive Tune? That is so elegant and nicely done...the subtle, nuanced music coming from the Genny are quite a treat.
