What song are you listening to right now?

[sapator]

I think he played in Fight Club?

So anyhow I sneaked this at work today after a coffee break:

[techgnome]

Not sure about Fight Club ... but he played Eddie in Rocky Horror Picture Show.

Isn't he the failed body builder that Norton cries to?

I stumbled upon a new (to me) group called Santiano ... sent me down a rabbit hole...

-- Wellerman


-- Wer kann segeln ohne Wind


-- Wenn die Kälte kommt

[techgnome]

I listen to a lot of trailer music ... there are but a few that can make me stop and just get lost in the moment, especialy since they are generally so short ... but this one gets me every time.

Ok Dil, I have to applaud you for that one. I love that scene. Supposedly, they had to get Lee Marvin drunk to get him to do it, as he didn't sing and didn't want to do the scene, but it turned out to be one of the classic scenes of all time (especially if you're an old movie buff).

----------------

For me though, about all the music I ever listen to is SiriusXM Classic Vinyl. I just wish they'd play a bit more of the old folk (Dylan, Peter Paul & Mary, etc). They have a channel called The Village (for folk), but it's garbage.

[dilettante]

Who else remembers this early comic book hero TV show?

[wes4dbt]

How did anyone convince a studio to make a large scale musical with the stars being Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood? lol

Glad they did, it's a great movie. Every time I watch it, for the next few days afterwards that dam song "Paint Your Wagon" is stuck in my head.

Who else remembers when "Stargate Universe" elevated the Stargate franchise from campy military sci-fi comedy to science ficton?

And this song used at the end of the early episode where the accidental crew of Destiny managed to renew the CO₂ scrubbers just before they all collapsed?

[dilettante]

Just for fun... my favorite scene.

I call it "Millennial gamer craps his pants."

I posted this one earlier in this thread somewhere:-



This one was actually from Stargate Atlantis, episode Critical Mass.

[dilettante]

Yes, I remember. That was a great scene and song hinting that we might get more depth out of SG Atlantis.

Sadly we didn't get a lot more of this. Like SG-U it wasn't well received by the fan base at large, who just weren't very sophisticated. They wanted a sitcom centered on caped khaki and had low tolerance for attempts to grow beyond that.

These were all good TV shows, they just could have been better. Or at least grown in other directions after so many seasons had already been made.

Due to the war I have been revisiting my fav. band of all times diff. renditions of "Should I stay or should I go ?", best concert I ever attended and being a OG - Old Guy I have been to many in Oz, .nz, .us and Western Europe.

The Clash @ Cloudland in Brisvegas the boys keep coming out for another encore until they turn off the power.

It is easily the best gig because Cloudland was demolished within 14 days so never going to be repeated.

Mick Jones sings 'Should I stay or should I go ?

At the Rock and Roll Public Library is just so 'alive'

RIP Joe S.

BTW - Notice something about the arrangement of this song in the beginning ????

In my opinion Stargate suffered from a very slow decline in it's overall quality from SG-1 to Atlantis. Personally my problem with it was they began to downplay it's highly militaristic tone in favor of a comedic tone.

SGU in my opinion was an attempt to get it back on track but their crucial mistake in my view was trying to make it a Battlestar Galatica clone instead of going back to the initial tone of it being an optimistic militaristic sci-fi drama. Stargate was never meant to be dark and edgy with a heavy emphasis on interpersonal drama. That's not why we loved it. Nonetheless, I found SGU enjoyable despite my disappointment with regards to it's tone and themes. I wished it didn't get cancelled so soon. I especially loved Robert Carlyle's performance. He stole practically every scene in the show.

Regardless of any of this, the Stargate franchise remains one of my all time favorites. I still to this day occasionally go back and binge-watch SG-1, Atlantis and the original movie.

[dilettante]

There were a couple of SG-1 movies too.

Some of my favorite episodes were the weird ones though. The Supermarionation one was hilarious. I also liked the one that was based on the movie "Grosse Pointe Blank" (Cameron Mitchell's high school reunion episode "Bounty"). Then there was the Atlantis episode "Vegas" with alternate universe characters including Wraiths on Earth (including Todd).

Yea I watch SG-1 movies too. The one that wraps up the Ori arc is my favorite of all of them. Some great moments in that one.

I liked the SGA episode Vegas as well. I tend to like episodes featuring alternate realities. My favorite of those was the one where Sam saved an alternate Earth using Merlin's technology and became a celebrity. It was during the Ori arc.

"Bounty" was a little too campy in my opinion but I enjoyed it nonetheless. It was interesting character development for Mitchell.

But most of my favorite episodes, and gosh there are many, lean heavily into the lore of the Stargate universe. Episodes featuring the Asgard and Ancients are usually among my favorite(I love seeing the Asgard flexing on the Goa'uld ). I also like episodes featuring super advanced races with the episode "The Nox" being in my top 5 favorite episodes of the entire franchise. I also loved the entire arc featuring the Asgard's war with the replicators. The Ori arc was really enjoyable as well overall.

Oh yes, and seeing Teal'c and Ronan in the same episode was one of the most epic moments in the entire franchise. It was SGA episode "Midway".

And there are so many more favorites I can't readily recall.

[dilettante]

It is hard to beat the Nox episodes, even where we only see one of them for a few minutes.

I always wondered if "the Giant Aliens" from the Crystal Skull episode were the Furlings.

Since we're in the "Listening To" thread, more music from another epic scene:



Did Eli ever make it into stasis with the others? We may never really know. He had an interesting arc from slacker to vital member of the expedition. And the scenes with his mother were amazing.

[dilettante]

Here is one that you might not know unless you are old. I'm not sure it got distribution outside the US either.

Yea, I wish we had seem more of them and their technology.

I always wondered if "the Giant Aliens" from the Crystal Skull episode were the Furlings.

I doubt it. If I remembered correctly, the "Giant Aliens" were somewhat scared of the Goa'uld. The Furlings on the other were were one of the great races alongside the Nox, Asgard and Ancients. The Goa'uld were no where near a capable threat to any of those races.

The Furlings were such a missed opportunity in the franchise.

My favorite theme/song aside from the one from Critical Mass was the SGA opening theme itself:-

[techgnome]

YeHa-NoHa ....

[dilettante]

Chicago 1968, a hot Summer, an unpopular war and less popular politicians:

Written by Chicago trombone player James Pankow and keyboard player Robert Lamm, this song is about the 1968 Democratic National Convention in the group's hometown of Chicago, where police beat antiwar demonstrators outside the venue in what was later deemed a "police riot." The violence at the convention was big news, energizing the protest movement. CBS reporter Mike Wallace was famously caught in the fray, getting punched in the face inside the convention hall.

The song starts with a 57-second section called "Prologue, August 29, 1968," which is audio of the crowd at the convention chanting, "The whole world is watching." This chant returns in the middle of the song.
