Neat! And I feel compelled to draw attention to this link in his sidebar: http://italianhorror.blogspot.com/ Despite the title, it's actually a collection of postings of ultra-rare movie scores. Loads of rare Horner and Goldsmith, as well as (as the title suggests) lots of Italian horror / Goblin stuff.

I like the gerundization of "hip". I'm hipping to it. Thanks to klangklangston's g/f for indirectly hipping me to "hipping".

Awesome. I've needed a Godzilla soundtrack for a while now. See, I'm working on a project. I can't go into the details, but it involves an iguana and some radioactive materials. Like I said, I can't be too specific, but lets just say, once I get that bad boy up to about 40 stories or so, I want to mount some loudspeakers to him so he can have his own personal theme music playing as he trashes city after city in an orgy of wanton destruction the likes of which this planet has never seen. ... Wait, I may have said too much.

Don't worry Bardic, with snark like yours you're sure to make some maladjusted high schooler swell with ennui some day.

This is great. I have a special place in my heart for cheepnis - Godzilla exemplifies it and at the same time transcends it (depending on the movie). A tragic hero writ large, green and radioactive. An insightful commentary on the nuclear age, and a guy in a rubber suit stomping on intricate models of Japanese cities. And now the soundtracks are available as easily as this (shhhh ... nobody tell Toho, not just yet ....).

What is the deal with this rapidshare stuff anyway? Is it legal? Because I seem to have to pay for it (it says my IP has already reached its download limit even though I've never downloaded anything from them), but if it's still kind of iffy I'd rather not drop money on it. Because I need all this Godzilla stuff.

By: klangklangston

klangklangston — Tue, 10 Oct 2006 19:17:16 -0800

Rapidshare is legal, downloading copyrighted files is not. If you're having trouble with your IP, you may have to try a proxy server (this happens most frequently to people on AOL and university ISPs, because there's a limited number of IP addresses assigned). That said, since I have to coordinate cartoonists for my section at the student paper, I just ponied up for the membership and have found it worth it generally...

How can you have a Godzilla music thread that doesn't even mention the man himself, a name every Godzilla fan should know, Akira Ifu kube. From Wikipedia: "Ifukube also created Godzilla's trademark roar - produced by rubbing a resin-covered leather glove along the loosened strings of a double bass - and its footsteps, created by striking an amplifier box."

Major thanks to turbodog for the YT link. But be warned, the video contains: * "Jeff Lynne" doing a guest stint as lead singer for BoC * Mr. Pat Benatar on drums * Awesome SFX (some sort of papier-mâché godzilla who had recently eaten a smoke machine) * The folly of man expressed through a drum solo (during which, Benatar transforms into some godzillataur) Play it again! Play it again!

I've sent this link to a man who visits cities so as to see the latest Godzilla movie or festival. He took me to my first Godzilla last year. Thanks, klangklangston!
