First and foremost: WHY HASN’T MARILYN MANSON COVERED THIS SONG BEFORE? Secondly: this may be my single favorite cover he’s done thus far. I mean, he’s done some pretty great moody industrial rock covers, like The Eurythmics’ ‘Sweet Dreams’ and Soft Cell’s ‘Tainted Love’, among others. Today, shock rocker Marilyn Manson dropped a cover of the title track […]

Columbia Records has partnered with HBO to release a Game of Thrones-inspired album of music for the eighth and final season of the series. There will also be another release of the official original soundtrack album from series composer Ramin Djawadi sometime after the final season airs in 2019. The soundtrack will feature songs inspired by the hit […]

He’s come a long way from his cowboy hat wearin’ early days in Buckaroo Banzai, and we’re thrilled to report that Jeff Goldblum has recorded an album to be released by Universal’s label Decca Records. If you were unaware, Goldblum has been making music for longer than he’s been an actor. His jazz ensemble, The Mildred Snitzer […]

Trent Reznor isn’t just the frontman of the industrial rock band Nine Inch Nails — he’s also an Oscar-winning composer. As a longtime fan of the band, I was as shocked as anyone that Reznor won along with co-composer Atticus Ross for The Social Network, but seeing someone deserving win is always cool. On June […]

If you were watching any of the live coverage of the 2018 Met Gala red carpet arrivals yesterday, then you know the hot talk was about the possibility of Madonna being the big secret performer of the night. This made perfect sense, really — with the “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and the Catholic Imagination” theme, who else embodied […]

Baz Luhrmann’s 2001 technicolor musical feature film Moulin Rouge has been turned into a live stage musical, and we’re pretty damn excited, to be honest. The film featured several non-period popular songs like David Bowie’s “Diamond Dogs”, Nirvana’s “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, Queen’s “The Show Must Go On”, and several medleys. Stars Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor delighted audiences with their […]

Ten times Oscar nominated (1 win) composer Hans Zimmer has really come into his own as the great ambassador for film music. That’s not to say that other composers haven’t been doing the same for a very long time, but he’s certainly doing it the most recently. In a roundtable discussion from Spitfire Audio, the British music […]

While we’re not getting the actual soundtrack for WB’s Ready Player One film ’til it officially releases in the theaters on March 29th, WaterTower Music has been dropping a few tracks for fans to enjoy. Previously, the WB music label released composer Alan Silvestri’s ‘Main Theme’ from the film, and today it’s a short musical jaunt called […]

There are few things as awesome as a really clever fan edit, and fewer still that tie in an original song.  The folks over at Bad Lip Reading have managed to turn what they do into an art form — from Game of Thrones videos all the way to the galaxy far, far away. BLR released a […]
