hey guys, i like listening to soundtrack music once in a while and i noticed james horner was the guy who did the recent "avatar" and of course "titanic". i thought the music was great in "avatar" but was wondering if you guys can recommend some other good scores besides titanic (i'm sorry, i don't want to hear the melody of "my heart will go on" anymore >_<) from this composer.

I like Bernard Hermann's soundtracks - he did a number for Alfred Hitchcock - also Taxi Driver for Scorcese. Also like the soundtrack for Chinatown and the Godfathers. 70s had a lot of great movies ... I put together some Best Of lists a couple years ago - you can find them HERE

    • Wait, Burning Man is going online-only? What does that even look like?
      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
