Not too many people are willing to call out Pitchfork Media anymore. The line I hear is "it's crap, but it's unavoidable" (um really, it's not like there aren't thousands of other sites you can rely upon for music knowledge). Jim DeRogatis has been one of the few to continuously call Pitchfork out (his interview with Ryan Schreiber lifted him to hero status in my mind), and he's back at it agai...

As Harrison Ford prepares to put on the snap brim fedora and whip for "Indy 4," I recall looking for the original march from "Raiders of the Lost Ark." I found this collection, which takes one from "The Sugarland Express" to "Indiana Jones and The Last Crusade."

This has got to be one of the most beautiful soundtracks I've ever heard. I haven't seen the movie yet, but now I really want to.Next up is the 2 disc Babel soundtrack. It's got several tracks by Gustavo Santaolla, so I'm sure I'll love it. Again, I have yet to see the movie. So many exams, so little fun time. :(It's strange listening to these songs before seeing the films. I almost never...

Hey, gang. Missed you.I guess I was having the same frustrations with this site that a lot of other people experienced, and when I managed to get back on it a couple weeks ago, I noticed a lot of new avatars, with a picture of a rodent of some sort and a notice of a strike, demanding more reliable cooperation from whatever software governs this thing. I didn't go through the hassle of actuall...
