Yeah. What’s going on everybody. Microbes. Rain, intermittently. Clothes. The all-consuming stress of being alive in a punishing world that couldn’t care less about you. That’s on all of us! One of my three SOR songs I’m on is GARBAGE. Only Happy When It Rains. It’s okay. I can’t describe what I mean but it’s in the key of G# but IT FEELS like to me it belongs in G. IT WANTS to feel in a straight up G. But it’s not! G#! I could easily be wrong! Show that observation to a musician and they’ll be like well no that’s just wrong and dumb. But show it to a non-musician and they’ll be like well that sounds insightful this guy might actually know what he’s talking about. Anyway, the Knicks DID IT. They won THEIR THIRD OUT OF FOUR games for the NBA Finals. I like that a lot of actors were there because they get to give good facial expressions. It’s their job! They know what to do! Facial expressions are Time For Hollywood to shine! Anyway we’re all friends now for the time beaning. All of New York! Knicks. There’s no anagram I can make with part of it being Ska, is there, can I? Another song I’m doing for SOR is GARBAGE. Don’t Speak. By SKA. By which I mean No Doubt. There’s no doubting, I can’t speak… WHAT IS ALLOWED TO HAPPEN. Your band name and song titles are just things that aren’t allowed. Tell me what IS possible!
Oh okay. It’s an okay song. Not really Ska. Straight forward 90’s Song. 90’S IS A GENRE is the theme of the summer for me I guess! The third song I’m on is GARAGE. Are You Gonna Go My Way by Leonard Kravitz. I think I’m on rhythm guitar for that one. I HOPE. SOUNDS complicated. Tablature doesn’t look so bad though. Remember when Moses went up Mount Sanai and brought down some tablature from God. I guess they were tabs of Stairway To Heaven? Misty Mountain Hop? Black Mountainside? WHY are these all Led Zeppelin Songs? Cause they wanted to make Moses Mountaintop Puns FROM THE START. Over The Hills And Far Away. Man Led Zeppelin was preoccupied with Mountains. Well they were a big blimp. Of course they were perpetually worried about flying into something! This whole time I thought the song was Misty Mountain TOP. I was one consonant off! What happens if the Knicks win the NBA. What happens if THEY DON’T win. I wanna be prepared either way. I dunno part of the fun is the spontaneity of Being Like HOLY SHIT WHAT JUST HAPPENED. If I’m mentally and/or physically ready for them to win then where’s the fun in that! Anyway. Thanks to Knicks Fans and/or Team Officials for being very welcoming to Most Of New York jumping on the bandwagon. BANDWAGON. WAH… There’s already a band named Lagwagon. Otherwise that word may have intrigued me!
The guy from Lagwagon has another band I quite like called Bad Astronaut which is a name I really like! This guy is knocking band names out of the park! Not sure I like the band name Lagwagon. Yeah but Bad Astronaut is good enough on its own! Whatever. The Alamo is IN San Antonio. In case you wanted something to think about when you think about WHAT IS San Antonio. My paternal grandfather died 15 or 20 years before I was born but one of the stories that broke through and made an impression on me about him was him seeing The Alamo with my Dad, which was a very rare thing they did together, and 80% into the movie my grandfather goes The Soldiers In The Alamo are gonna win though, right? Something like that. Grandad never covered that in school! LOOK in most movies the people you’re rooting for are gonna win. It makes sense. Also he knows Texas IS part of America right now and not Mexico. So they eventually win the war for sure. Anyway. Can’t wait to hear what kinda score John Williams got cooked up for us for Disclosure Day. He’s got a pretty good track record! Lots of memorable tunes! Some forgettable ones. Someone should come up with some sort of award JUST for John Williams. He deserves it. YES it’s in the vein of Lifetime Best Oscar for Film Music Writing And Orchestration but that doesn’t quite do it justice. Let’s just call it The John Williams Award For Excellence.
Anyway. Imagine living in a world without Star Wars or Jurassic Park music. SOUNDS like I don’t wanna! No Superman or Harry Potter music. IT’D BE LIKE LIVING IN BLACK AND WHITE. No scores from Indiana Jones or Home Alones. THAT’S not even the same Planet I’ve known and lived on! I almost forgot how Home Alone score went because it’s just PART of the movie. I looked it up and I was like that’s hardly the music, that just blends in with what I’m seeing like synesthesia or something. Anyway. I just identified with Home Alone so when I hear the soundtrack it’s just like the soundtrack to MY LIFE. Oh okay good. Anyway. Hey Michael for Conversationssake what’s your top 3 Stephen Spielberg movies you can only count franchise once. HMM. 3) Who Cares 2) Not Me 1) Jurassic Park. IT’S THE BEST! It’s a funny list because it’s Misdirection. You thought it was gonna be straightforward Stephen Spielbert Top Flim List but it was anything but! Whatever. If Jurassic Park was real I’D probably visit it because Surely The Dinosaurs Won’t Eat ME. In these films they only eat like 20-30% of the people who show up overall! What are the odds I’d get eaten! Huh. Sounds like 20-30%. YES MICROSCOPICALLY LOW. Why do I wanna see dinosaur anyway. Who cares. I like The Zoo in general! SMELLS BAD. But that’s part of it’s charm!
I don’t wanna go to the Zoo. It’s cruel! Maybe some animals like it but the majority don’t! Which animals like the zoo. THE ZOOKEEPERS. THE ANIMALISTS ANIMAL OF ALL. Oh Okay. I never got the sense the dinosaurs didn’t like it living in Jurassic Park, though. They seemed to be having a good time for the most part. That’s just Hollywood Propaganda though I guess. To be fair, they seemed to be having A LOT MORE fun once the fences went down. So there ya go. Anyway. The next logical extension is to have a trilogy Jurassic Universe or something in 10 or 20 years and it’s about Dinosaurs On The Moon? Is that what we’re headed towards? Gotta start preparing for Dinosaurs In Space now I guess. “We must have Jurassic Park On Mars so that they won’t escape onto Earth!” – Some guy in that upcoming storyline. Of Course they escape to Earth anyway. There’s a foreboding shot of a dinosaur on a rocketship at the end of the first film of the trilogy. “We must have Jurassic Park in space to measure the effects of space on lifeforms!” – Same guy in that movie doubling down on dinos in space. The bad news is we probably won’t be on Mars in 10 to 20 years. In terms of Humanity, it’s not so bad. In terms of Jurassic Universe coming to fruition it’s moderately unfortunate, though! Why is it Jurassic Universe if it’s ultimately just about dinosaurs returning to Earth. I dunno! Why is anything anything! Anyway. I’ll see ya next week.
