A Sense of Doubt blog post #2449 - Master of Soundtracks via David Byrne - Musical Monday  for 2111.01

Just this today.

I need to regroup.

Happy November First and MUSICAL MONDAY.

Herrmann is best known for the many Hitchcock soundtracks he did. Pretty much all of them memorable- the screeching violins for Psycho, to the headlong ostinatos leading to an erroneous destiny in North By Northwest stick in my own mind. But he also did some less expected scores- the original Twilght Zone, the Day The Earth Stood Still, which features an ominous theremin and Taxi Driver which juxtaposes lyrical jazz with a frightening vision of NY at night. A bunch of stop motion Ray Harryhausen films and even Kill Bill! Citizen Kane (not one of my favorites) but hey. Pre soundtracks he was the conductor of the CBS symphony orchestra and he brought the work of new and innovative composers to the public's attention. He only did scores when he had artistic control, which eventually led to a sad falling out with Hitchcock when the studio insisted on a pop score. -DB Listen to October's Radio Playlist!

- Days ago = 2313 days ago

- New note - On 1807.06, I ceased daily transmission of my Hey Mom feature after three years of daily conversations. I plan to continue Hey Mom posts at least twice per week but will continue to post the days since ("Days Ago") count on my blog each day. The blog entry numbering in the title has changed to reflect total Sense of Doubt posts since I began the blog on 0705.04, which include Hey Mom posts, Daily Bowie posts, and Sense of Doubt posts. Hey Mom posts will still be numbered sequentially. New Hey Mom posts will use the same format as all the other Hey Mom posts; all other posts will feature this format seen here.
