Iconic Movie Scores That Shaped My Love for Film Music (Part 1)
Film scores have a way of transporting us beyond the screen, embedding themselves in our memories long after the credits roll.

In this piece, I want to highlight some of my favourite movie scores—ones that have shaped my appreciation for film music and storytelling.

New Drools as Paul Simon Steals the Show
The Saturday Night Live 50th anniversary special was an star-studded blast featuring an abundance of laughter, squeezings of music and five decades of pop culture history. But one moment topped the rest: Paul Simon, the legendary singer-songwriter, teaming up with Gen-Z pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter for a poignant opening performance of his classic hit, “Homeward Bound.” Not only was this crossover a musical high point — it was indicative of the bridge between generations that has kept S.N.L. alive for half a century.

Do You Even Anime?
Hey all! I’m back with our final community playlist. Naturally, I’m sad that it’s the end, but considering how drastically the participation has dwindled, I can’t see a valid reason to keep going. The playlists ought to be at least forty-five minutes to an hour in length, don’t you agree? If they end up significantly shorter, it doesn’t seem worthwhile.

Repeat, Repeat
Introduction Pointless has a question that featured five songs that have a two-word title featuring the same word. I thought that would be a good idea for a frivolous playlist and we will start with a David Bowie song and finish with the David Bowie song that was included in the Pointless list.
