I'm not sure if I am turning into a stereotypical old man, but I have been on a month long kick where I have basically only listened to Elvis.  Some of his early music is genre defining and he has some really solid late career recordings as well.

...there is a lot of movie bullshit to avoid, but even if you take away this crap, the man has many hours of fantastic recordings.

My parents were big fans of Elvis' 70s music, cause they were born in the mid-50s so that aligned with their age group.  Due to this, I only ever heard later Elvis or gospel Elvis around the house growing up.

About 10 years ago I dipped my toes into the Sun Records era of Elvis and realized my parents were missing out.  Songs like Mystery Train and That's Alright hold up incredibly well today.  I still have a soft spot for American Trilogy and the stuff my parents listened to, but the early recordings are the real gold.

...I love Patsy Cline too.

..and the Day of the Dead ST.  The last horror ST I picked up was The Thing and it is great.

Once that saxophone kicked in I was like F@CK YES! and I hugged the song during my brief break from dancing.

:)

My friend's mom was a huge Elvis fan... we would joke that she married her husband because he encapsulated the "young Elvis"...there was some truth to it :)

She liked all his different "eras" of music, but I was always distracted by all the memorabilia she had collected over the years.

Yes.
Yes.
Yes.
I love all those synthesizer-heavy soundtracks. Even if they are simplistic, or heavy-handed, there is something special they evoke.

What is nice is that Day of the Dead + The Thing happen to be excellent films, too.

Of course, even generic slasher/action films from 80's can have nice soundtracks, too.

HINT: Go to "Intergalactic FM" and listen to the channel with music from films/TV...lots of interesting stuff. For example, the soundtrack for "Assault on Precinct 16" (can't remember the actual title) was surprisingly better than I remembered it...it is another Carpenter film,  like The Thing, Halloween, The Fog <-- :) with a good, simple soundtrack.

Assault On Precinct 13 ST > the movie as a whole.  It is a movie that oddly has become more well respected with time, but it is just too slow for me.

You guys should listen to John Carpenter's Lost Themes sometime.  It is music he made that sounds like it could be on one of his movie soundtracks, but was made just for the album.

I think(?) that IntergalacticFM has played that "Lost Themes" album? Or...it was some collaboration Carpenter did w/ someone.

:)

I'll go listen to Lost Themes...I just put it on my "to listen" list.

Hey Assault is awesome and miles better than the lawrence fishburne remake. One of my favorite movies alongside Escape from New York. The synth soundtrack Carpenter employed is very charming.

This is pure nostalgia.

I don't think I've actually listened to this closely since I was a kid and my mom would have been the one who was in control of the radio.

I love the atmosphere that builds the whole song, but especially the last 1/2(?)-1/3 that is pure instrumental, with the droning, pulsing beat...

Agreed. I don't mind slow pacing when it is atmospheric and builds tension...I think Assault works because it slowly builds and builds.

:lol:

I debated if I should go into Pepe Le Frog's legacy of leap frogging off of 4chan into presidential history-making, but I didn't wanna ruin his theme song by informing you of the association. :P

Yesss, feel very dirty that you enjoyed it, comrade!

I decided to listen to some poppy punk, to bring my back to my youth.  I'm not sure if The Vindictives and The Queers are actually good or if it is rose colored glasses, but I enjoyed listening to them today.  Two of my favorites:
