Beer  yeah.. I felt that about Matador as well and The Leftovers was perhaps the most beautiful piece of music of the whole lot.. choices and alts.

and oh no.. disrespect?? The ultimate form of respect.  Besides Pedro knows I love him...Heart If anything for making me seem normal around here... making my posts seem slightly more coherent and readable.

Yes, I was just making sure he knew I was not being disrespectful to him, I knew exactly what you meant....but he and I have not had as many interactions, so wanted him to know I was friendly towards him.

OK, my votes are in! This one wasn't easy, because - as I said in an earlier post - I am not a TV watcher, though I used to be in the past. However, a few of these tracks were genuinely rewarding to listen to. Here's my top 3:

1) Rote Erde - Very beautiful music, with that haunting quality that I always appreciate
2) Lucidity Gone - an intriguing piece of electronics
3) Twin Peaks - playing it safe here with a well-known, well-composed orchestral piece

Honourable mentions for the very infectious "Daktari" and the lovely "The Leftovers", another excellent orchestral piece.

Glad to hear you liked the Iris Dement track (I guess I've been spelling her name all wrong).  You will get a big laugh out of this track where she guests with John Prine (RIP as he just died recently from the damn Covid-19, another huge loss).  

Cover up your monitors everyone as this one should have Micky spewing beer everywhere.


 

wooo hooo... good thing I just popped the top on the first of the day... checking this out Beer

Now, how to vote? Four standout categories, 3 votes. 

 

I am going with The Leftovers, Boardwalk Empire and Land of the Lost

Two I had not ever heard, but would listen to again.  The Leftovers won out over Matador for sheer lushness, although Matador had a sentimental feeling for me.

Land of the Lost, I had heard, but didn’t remember.  I would listen to it again for sheer novelty.  Utopia 2 was intriguing, but not as fun.

Black Hand.  Certainly infectious, but not as much of a fan of the music, despite the earworm of the words.

It was nice to hear those Hanna Barbera themes in English for the first time, I only knew them in French.

It's been a while since I saw Death Note, I completely forgot about the Post Rockular Bells.

I didn't consider Hawaii 5-0 and Verăo Azul because I was already familiar with them. I like some music from New Trolls a lot but not that song, maybe I was expecting something more progressive.

The two songs I enjoyed the most were easily the song from Utopia (weird electronics and sampling, nice!) and BoJack's theme (it's funky and I'm a sucker for Mellotron). I gave my third vote to Land of the Lost for its sheer ridiculousness.

Hi,

David Benoit ... music for Peanuts. (lovely jazz'y stuff!)
Danny Elfman ... not sure he only did the opening theme for The Simpsons. He also did a lot of movies and some of them were BIG.
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Lorenzo, in this case I'd translate "ruffiana" as "seductive". "Pimp" is a noun, and - as you said - would not be the right word in this particular context.

Back to the music, so far my favourite is "Rote Erde". I'll probably have another round of listening later today before I express my votes.

I have not been a fan before of Alan Moore, because I didn't know about him.  But his novel, "Jerusalem," just blew me away, and made me search out where the heck he came from.  Haven't even listened to your YT yet, but just wanted to say that.  If you have staying power with reading, it is absolutely worth the effort.

1) Boardwalk Empire

3) Cowboy Bebop

Some more ramblings to follow up on my picks.

@Mickey, would have voted "Woke Up This Morning" in if it had stayed. While I've heard the song and have the original Alabama 3 album, it's a good one even though I haven't seen the show. Only until last few years did I have HBO. Missed out on most but a few HBO shows I do know.

@Greg and Mike, and one of those being Westworld. I did consider it, but when I decided to start the week with Mike Post theme, I left it behind. And I included Ramin Djawadi last week as he did the Pacific Rim score. I agree his use of covers in Westworld is really good. I liked this one of Nirvana's Heart-Shaped Box.



Another HBO show I thought of was Watchmen but had Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross last week.

NUN WITH A MOTHERF* & *ING GUN


Overall, a lot of nostalgia in this thread and I am pretty sure I watched Electra Woman and Dyna Girl in first run back in the mid 70's. 

And I'll throw in another cheesy 70's Hanna Barbera (to complete my circling back to my nominations from last week):



"...And Godzookiy" LOL

But, back to the songs. My winner was "Straight Up and Down" and while I can't comment on how well it fit with the series, the edit was really well done to work as the title number. I like the full Brian Jonestown Massacre song as well.

After that, I liked the 'coolness' of credits theme to La Piovra. Again, not familiar with the series, but the music went well with the graphic of the guy with the smoking gun.

With Cowboy Bebop, it had that snazzy spy theme feel (sort of like my alternative last week with the Incredibles). A lot of good original spy themes didn't get mentioned. On of my favorites was the Saint.



Digressing a lot. Others that almost made my top three were Rota Erde, Lucidity Gone, and Black Hand.

I read the synopsis on Utopia and it sounds like my kind of show. I don't see it currently available with any of my streaming services (Netflix, Amazon Prime), so that's a bummer.

Completely loved this !  Clap

I saw it in the 80's; notable scenes that sparked my memory:  that spider  LOL  (how to forget) and then the mummy..  but all of it genius!  like very much this 60's style..  and the music.. 


Also, Micky's nomination made me remember this one that had completely wiped out from my memory..

Here's my top 3:

1. Lucidity Gone - Once again, Greg picked out a track that pulls me in right away.  This is the kind of thing that I really like and now I will have to check out the series.

2. The Leftovers - Like I said earlier, this is probably the most beautiful music to a series this entire decade.  I was a big fan of the series and every time that theme came on it made the show even more heart wrenching.

3. Cowboy Be-bop - I absolutely loved this.  I have heard of this series before and was a little familiar with the comic having ran a media store in the 00's, but wasn't familiar with the music.  It's not just a great tune for the series, it's also one that I would enjoy by itself, in a way, reminding me of the quirky feel of Secret Chiefs 3's music.

Lorenzo, I did love the Randy Newman track and it just barely missed the top 3, but is definitely a runner up along with the Bojak Horseman theme and "Black Hand" by I New Trolls.
