I mean, just how amazing is this masterwork by Jerry Goldsmith? And wow, that final muted trumpet. 🥹🎵 If you’d like to see what other TV theme songs made my Hall of Fame list, here’s a link to my essay. medium.com/pubbeat/my-t... #MusicSky #TVSky #StarTrek youtu.be/KtVXAugaSm0?...

(1/3) Aleida’s expression of awe (“holy fuck!”) as she looks up & sees Mars above her, with the Valles Marineris so huge it could stretch across the United States, has a sense of wonder that sometimes gets lost in #ForAllMankind, & for me it was very welcome.

Mars seen through the windows of a spacecraft, in the For All Mankind episode “Open Source”.

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 4: Tori Amos - Fearlessness (2010) www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ySg... The challenge of a song cycle based on melodies from the classical repertoire seemed to inspire Tori. This comes from a haunting tune by Granados: www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8uW...

James Dean on the set of “Rebel Without a Cause” (1955), by Bob Willoughby

Colour photograph by Bob Willoughby of James Dean slouched in an armchair with a cigarette.

(1/3) In #ForAllMankind S5, the struggle against a police state on Mars all feels a bit Babylon 5 - though less operatic! - & once again I’m more at home with the legacy characters. The Margo & Aleida scenes are sparse but golden. Is Margo’s story fading to its end now? - I really hope not.

#ArtistFaveAlbumTrax #MusicChallenge #Musicsky Day 3: Julia Holter - Something in the Room She Moves (2024) www.youtube.com/watch?v=QG7k... The lyricism & warmth remind me a bit of the ‘70s sounds of my childhood - but with a slightly spooky edge. Looking forward to her new album this month!

Having somehow not seen a single one of their films, I always confuse John Hughes, John Waters & John Sayles. I understand they are actually very different. 😂
