Goonies 'R GREAT Enough

Damn straight. . .

"Hey You Guys!"

All you Goonies fans out there, "we have the money to save the Goondocks!"

Well, to buy it, anyway. 2010 has started off as quite a famine for new posts. Sorry. But, I'm proud to say that my first post of 2010 is the about a long-sought after movie score: The Goonies.

Yes, Varese Sarabande has done it again, folks. On the 25th anniversary of this 80's cult classic exec produced by Steven Spielberg and directed by Dick Donner, the music label has released a nearly full score for the Goonies. Be warned, though. It is limited to a 5,000 copy run. Once this is sold out, it's gone for good (Ebay and Amazon marketplace aside.)

I wish I had the time to do a full review like I have in the past with Temple of Doom and Gremlins. The Varese website has all the details and a track listing. You can even listen to snippets of a few cues. This long-awaited score will wisk you back to Astoria with the Goonie gang- Mickey, brand, Data, Mouth, Chunk, Andie, Steph, AND Sloth. Not to mention those no-goodnicks, the Fratellis.

Get your truffle shuffle on and pick up your own copy of the Goonies score here!

Marchin' into March

Wow, where do the hours, days, and weeks go?

How did we get to March already? Whatever the cause of this rapidly increasing passage of time, I will be out on business travel almost all of this coming week inspecting properties in Phoenix and Las Vegas.

In lieu of reading any new posts from me, I offer up a fantastic YouTube page by "Aldabarran", a mysterious Brit with impeccable film score taste: Aldabarran's videos

Here you will find 30+ popular film score he has generously uploaded to the Interweb, many of which are hard sought by collectors and score enthusiasts. I've been listening to this guy's selections almost all week and loving all the new playlists I've made for a bunch of them.

Highlights include The Goonies, Temple of Doom, The 'Burbs (the recently released Varese Sarabande version), Big trouble In Little China, Gremlins, The Fog, Ghostbusters (Varese Sarabande version), Alien/Aliens, and all three Back to The Future films.

Go ahead and indulge already!

I'll see you the week of 3/10.
