New Podcasts Available

Hola everybody. New STC News podcasts are up. This week, in the Hollywood Headlines, we've got a look at the boring writers strike, plus a boring round-up of the awards season thus far. In the Movie Music News, there's look at a great movie music podcast, plus some scoring updates from Patrick Doyle and Christopher Young. The Soundtrack News takes a look at the scores from CITY OF MEN and IN BRUGES. And the Movie Tech News explores a few creative ways to keep yourself entertained when you're not watching Soundtrack Channel.

Also, the STC Previews show featuring the Valentines Day releases is up. Mieke's got reviews of DEFINITELY, MAYBE, STEP UP 2 THE STREETS, THE SPIDERWICK CHRONICLES, JUMPER and DIARY OF THE DEAD. Nothing says 'I Love You' like an evening with George Romero.

Movie Music on the World Wide Web

As much as you'd probably like to, we know you can't spend all of your Internet time on the STC website. So here's a few other things that might hold your interest until the next STC News update:

StageAndScreenOnline.com has posted their latest composer interview with none other than our hero, Dario Marianelli. S&SO regularly posts great interviews with big-name composers and industry types, but this one is especially good. 45 minutes of pure Dario, talking about his transition from concert works to scoring, his relationship w/ director Joe Wright, his upcoming projects, and lots more. Check it out.

APMMusic.com also puts out a pretty great podcast. It's called, appropriately, the APM Film & TV Music podcast, and it's also got lots of great movie music interviews. The latest edition features a nice chat with Alan Menken, the 8-time Oscar winner and resurrector of the Disney musical. Enjoy!
