I've gotten a decent response here on the forums and in IRC, etc. about this so we're going to try it out.
-----WHAT YOU NEED-----
Either Winamp or something that can handle streamed media, OR RMRK Radio Player (http://rmrk.net/index.php/topic,13201.0.html)
If you have Winamp, just open THIS (http://rmrk.net:8000/listen.pls) in Winamp.
If you have the RMRK Radio Player, I believe all you have to do is open and hit play when I'm (or Roph is) broadcasting.
And that's it! Pretty simple, almost no work. So try it out, you may hear some things you really enjoy.
-----THE SCHEDULE-----
This schedule is VERY tentative. It will change until I find times that will suit most people, considering the point is to actually get listeners. Right now we're looking at this:
Mondays: 8-9:30 PM CST
Fridays: 7-8:30PM CST
For reference, CST is currently about 12:15AM at the time of this post.
I will not be playing entire soundtracks, of course. Only a few tracks from each being featured.
Don't let Movie/TV Soundtracks deter you, it will be a wide variety, not just orchestral scores.
If you would like to make a request, feel free to do so. If I have it, I'll put it in the queue in the current or next broadcast.
Beginning in about 30 minutes =o
cool. I'll be able to listen to this one I think.
And we're off!
Cool, listening now on RMRK thingy. The link where you say 'Here' leads me to a 404

(20:30:17) Arrow: TAKE EM DOWN
(20:30:19) HaloOfTheSun: lmao
(20:30:19) Arrow: KAKAKAKAKAKAKKAKA
Uh whoops... I forgot about the delay from what I'm hearing to what everyone else is hearing so I stopped a bit too early. I won't do that next time :3
It seemed fairly successful! Peaked at 7 out of a possible 12 listeners and a whole lot of bandwidth.
Mondays at 8 PM seems to work fairly well for everyone so that will probobably be the official time.
I don't want to use too much of Roph's bandwidth so there will be no Wednesday broadcast. I will probably do an every other Friday broadcast, if at all.
Thanks for listening!
WOOHOO UR DOIN IT
20 Minutes~

What's the lineup for tonight?
Tonight I'm being selfish and picked things that I would want to hear. Mostly. Hopefully everyone will enjoy them too.
The Incredibles - Michael Giacchino
I Am Legend - James Newton Howard
The Golden Compass - Alexandre Desplat
Mr. & Mrs. Smith - John Powell
Madagascar - Hans Zimmer
American Beauty - Thomas Newman
Antz - Harry Gregson-Williams
Lost - Michael Giacchino
Martian Child - Aaron Zigman
:( I won't be able to listen tonight
It's up. :3
oh man, im listening right now. This is awesome -D
Awesome job, Halo.
+rep
I'll match the timings and try to listen ^_^
Oh Nightwolf, how I missed you so. Try and be there for Monday :3
Starting in less than 20 minutes!
Gracie - Mark Isham
Amelie - Yann Tiersen
Air Force One (Rejected) - Randy Newman
25th Hour - Terence Blanchard
X-Men 2 - John Ottman
Arctic Tale - Joby Talbot
Napoleon Dynamite - John Swihart
Dave Grusin's West Side Story - Dave Grusin
Transformers - Steve Jablonsky
Sorry if the show was a tad bit dull - I almost forgot about it and threw the queue together at the last minute. Also I had never listened to a couple of the soundtracks so I wasn't sure which songs to pick. But with awesome stuff like Arctic Tale, 25th Hour, and Amelie, it made up for it IMO.
Next Monday will be the next show and it will be a special scary movie soundtrack show >:-)
omg triple post =o
What does it mean when a soundtrack title is followed up with (Rejected)? I have one like that for "What Dreams May Come", and I still don't get it.
I think it means that it is music written for the movie but which was not used in the movie.
Great stuff last night Halo

A simple question with a not-so-simple answer. One of several things:
1. The composer was hired, wrote the film score, and ultimately the director rejected it, due to it not fitting well with what he had in mind. Often in this case the composer will go back and rewrite the score. This is also often just with small parts of the score, thus a "rejected" score for that particular movie may never be heard of. But there are examples, such as Alien, by Jerry Goldsmith, one of the greatest film composers of all time. His first score was not bad, by any means, the director just didn't think it fit very well. He went back and changed some things, keeping some of the major themes, and that's what you hear in the movie, yet both the rejected and final cuts are available. This is what happens most often.
2. The written music is poor and another composer is brought in. An example would be with Howard Shore's "Ransom" score, which is not very good.
3. The written music is good, but the style is way off. Another composer is brought in at the last minute (usually one of the top composers like Goldsmith or John Williams, since time is very limited here) and is used in the movie. An example here would be the "What Dreams May Come" score by Ennio Morricone, which was rejected. A great score, but it was too overwhelming for the movie, which was already visually overwhelming. Michael Kamen was brought in to write an original score. Morricone's was definitely not bad, and is a very well-known composer who has written for over 400 movies. Being rejected is very common in the movie business and even the biggest names get rejected once in a while.
4. More rarely, when a composer is "applying" to get the job, he'll send in a score submission promo, consisting of previous work and some original mock-ups of what they have in mind for the movie. Sometimes these get mislabeled as a "Rejected" score, as they weren't really rejected since they never got the job in the first place, so a true score was never written.
As I said before, the What Dreams May Come score fits into number 3. I find rejected scores fascinating, as music plays a heavy part in making or breaking many scenes in a movie. A different score could make a huge difference on a movie altogether. Sometimes parts of rejected scores even make it into the final cut of the movie, so a composer may be listed as an additional composer.
I love collecting rejected scores and have several:
What Dreams May Come - Ennio Morricone
Resident Evil - Ennio Morricone
Air Force One - Randy Newman
Spider Man 2 - Christopher Young
Mission to Mars - Danny Elfman
Mission: Impossible - Alan Silvestri
Troy - Gabriel Yared
Interview With the Vampire - George Fenton
Gladiator - Jerry Goldsmith
X-Men 2 - Klaus Badelt
Plus about 15 more less known ones.
That was a completely awesome response, and I feel very informed. Thank you!
