CHINATOWN. Jerry Goldsmith’s legendary score is now available on both Amazon and iTunes. Am really surprised that this has been made available digitally. The CD has been out of print for years (maybe decades?) and a reissue ought to have been gigantic news in the music world.

Sometimes you find the all-time perfect song already in your iTunes a week prior to your wedding day - and sometimes it even names the location.

In recent years, the percentage of music hits with love in the song title has been only 30 percent of what it was in 1980. Why? Arika Okrent investigates.

For fans of Pittsburgh’s legendary band THEAFFORDABLEFLOORS, bassist Eric Riebling has a real treat on his website here. It’s 1,000 Days, which - had everything gone according to plan - would have been the major label debut of “THEFLOORS”… as in the line “We’re changing your name, can you wait in the foyer?” from the song Nothing Personal on All the Things I Meant to Be.
Some these songs ended up on ATTIMTB, some of these were re-arrangements or re-recordings of tunes from their first 2 LPs, and at least one - Once In A World - was a live favorite that never quite saw release in any other form.
Enjoy it, and revel in this lost piece of Floors history.
