About this project

The goals are to:


  • help you save money by finding which tracks from the albums are worth buying

  • expose you to great but obscure music

  • find out what inspires composers

  • build a community of like-minded folks

  • celebrate original music written for the screen

I have a passion for music created for movies and shows (original music, not the “fake soundtrack” which is just a collection of modern pop songs). I caught the bug when I was six and heard the “E.T.” music coming from a tinny little radio in a friend's backyard. Every time I recognize a selection from a soundtrack on “Top Gear” I can't help but blurt it out.

I’ve been wanting to hear a soundtracks podcast for years, and though a few have made attempts, nobody seems to have stuck with it. I want to make sure everything is legal and above-board, which will mean some licensing fees up front.

I’ve had a “labor of love” podcast for fans of They Might Be Giants since 2005, so I’ve had plenty of practice. Unlike Theynow, I'm going to make a new soundtrack show every week. I also plan to include interviews with people in the business.

I intend to follow the Coverville model with one free feed, and a separate bonus feed with more songs for members.

The host of Theynow, a podcast for fans of They Might Be Giants. Since 2005, I've been exposing people with similar eclectic tastes to music they wouldn't otherwise have heard.

I have a video podcast about usability called Stop Being Broken.

My friends and I also do some MST3K-style riffing on old movies, such as the free short "When You Grow Up".
