Teotihuacan (by Noel Gallagher)
Noel Gallagher’s Teotihuacan is one of my favorite songs. An instrumental from 1996, it was featured in X-Files: Fight the Future. Note that there are two versions of this song. The one on the film’s soundtrack has a more muted bass, whereas this one (from…
He’s Back (The Man Behind the Mask) by Alice Cooper
Today is Friday the 13th, and I’ve had this song kind of stuck in my mind. From Alice Copper comes this ’80s classic song about Jason Voorhees. Be safe out there. 🙂
“I Ain’t Superstitious” – by Jeff Beck & Rod Stewart
Ever get a tune stuck in your head that you just can’t pin down?. I was trying to track down a song from Martin Scorsese’s Casino, and thank goodness, I finally found it. “I Ain’t Superstitious” was a classic blues tune originally written by Willie…
Come to Me – by Brad Fiedel
When I think of Brad Fiedel, the Terminator series is usually the first thing that comes to mind. 1985’s Fright Night, however, happens to be a great soundtrack by Fiedel. With Halloween coming, some of the music from that film is on my mind. For…

Deadly Valentine (by Charlotte Gainsbourg)
I’m currently catching up on HBO’s Succession and heard this song in the middle of S1:Episode 8, “Prague”. It’s Deadly Valentine, one of my favorites from the video game Forza Horizon 4. The song is from actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. If her name sounds at all familiar,…
Trip Like I Do (by the Crystal Method)
“Another World…Another Time. In the Age of Wonder. This land was green and good, until the crystal cracked…” With the release of The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance on Netflix, the original Jim Henson film was on my mind and warranted a re-watch. Though the…
All for Us – by Labrinth & Zendaya
I’ve been following HBO’s Euphoria since it started some weeks ago. It’s been a wild ride through the lives of Rue (Zendaya) and her friends. Note that the following may be a spoiler if you haven’t seen last night’s Season Finale. The last few minutes…
Music: Godzilla – King of the Monsters’ Main Theme (by Bear McCreary)
Bear McCreary’s been around for some time. Chances are you remember his music from Ronald Moore’s Battlestar Galactica back in 2004, particularly his version of the Jimi Hendrix classic “All Along the Watchtower”. If not, you might know him from his work on 10 Cloverfield…
Music: Red Eye (by Kid Cudi featuring Haim)
“Things get crazy and I feel I’m losing my mind I don’t know what to do I’m going insane and I really don’t know why There’s only one thing to do I’m floating through the night on a red eye, red eye (Through the night…
In Memoriam – Ennio Morricone (Nov 10, 1928 – Jul 06, 2020)
I woke up this morning and found out that legendary composer and Academy Award Winner Ennio Morricone has passed away at the age of 91. Unfortunately, I haven’t the knowledge to fully give Morricone the justice he deserves. He was known mostly for his scores…
