The '90s action score cues block came about after I rattled off names of my favorite original cues from '90s action flicks on Facebook's LivingSocial app and Twitter and then realized all those tracks together would make for a great block on AFOS.

There won't be any more new episodes of A Fistful of Soundtracks: The Series. I've dumped the one-hour episodic format for the lengthier, more flexible and Scion Radio-inspired format that you see here. You'll still be able to check out past eps of AFOS: The Series Wednesdays at 10am and 3pm.
No more new episodes of Fistful?!?
ReplyDeleteNooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!
If it makes you feel any better, think of this two-hour block as a "new episode." Also, next month, I'll be adding to rotation one of your favorites, an episode I haven't streamed in six years. It's the 2003 episode in which I said that at the end of the Thunderball theme, Tom Jones "makes Tarzan sound like a sissy."
ReplyDeleteAh... "Spybreak!" your finest hour, or was it two?
ReplyDeleteThat one, plus "Superhero Worship" (which I downloaded) and "Sleazy Listening" are my favorite episodes of Fistful.
No, the Tarzan line wasn't in "Spybreak!" It was in the 2003 episode that I'll be re-airing soon, "Super Groover Mama Dalai Lama," about theme songs with incomprehensible or nonsensical lyrics like the Thunderball theme.
ReplyDeleteDamn. I don't remember "Super Groover Mama Dalai Lama," though I'm guessing "Ask DNA" is on that playlist, lol.
ReplyDeleteYou guessed right. "Ask DNA" was one of "10 odd, quirky and sometimes baffling choices for original opening theme songs" I featured in the episode, which included a soundbite of John Barry talking about the time Tom Jones asked him, "What's a thunderball?"
