gonna put this out there:
i've got a pitch i'm shopping about the movie soundtrack album, its unstoppability in the '80s and '90s, how it died at the hands of streaming, and how a few movies (Lion King, Barbie, Twisters, TV Glow) are trying to bring it back
editors, hit me up
I have this very idea in my pitches folder, but I haven’t pitched it yet and am unlikely to get to it soon or possibly ever. Which is a long way of saying “great idea!” Good luck with it.
It’s the worst, and yet somehow still getting worse? Superlatives don’t function anymore.
Did you ever hear MK Ultra’s “Original Motion Picture Soundtrack” album? It’s like a mid-90s movie soundtrack with snippets of movie dialogue and everything, but there was no film. Nice concept. Good songs.
It fits the idea, sorta. Like a band couldn’t make that album today without it seeming intentionally retro. But at the time, it was of its time. I loved it.
(I used to go to a lot of MK Ultra shows. One time no one else showed up, so they gave me a T-shirt. Still have it somewhere.)
