Reimagining Sound : Majeure, Curved Light, and True Creature Re-Scoring For SXSW 2019

The re-scoring of a classic or cult film can be an exciting thing. There have been some truly amazing re-scorings over the last couple years, such as Metavari’s re-scoring of Fritz Lang’s masterpiece Metropolis, the Kwaidan re-score featuring Troller, Michael C Sharp, Antoni Maiovvi, Timothy Fife, and Missions(at the 2017 SXSW), and even Zombi’s Steve […]

Perfect Score : Favorite Film Soundtracks of 2018

It’s been an equally exciting year at the cinema as its been in the record shop. I’ve seen some amazing films(either at the theater or at home.) Honestly, it’s been a pretty amazing year for films and the scores written for them. Of course I find myself wishing I could get to the theater more […]

Le Matos : Summer of 84 Soundtrack

Le Matos know how to lock into the vibe of a story. Sure, there’s only two examples I can point you toward to prove that statement: Turbo Kid and Summer of 84, which is in the title of this little write-up you’ve begun reading. In their musical DNA, Le Matos are a electronic/techno sort of […]

Thom Yorke : Suspiria(Music for the Luca Guadagnino Film)

Was it necessary for someone to remake Dario Argento’s masterpiece Suspiria? Of course not. Certain movies were made of their time and don’t need tinkered with. They’re a product of the space they were created in; from social discourse to the political climate to just how the horror was interpreted, it’s all very time sensitive. […]

The Night He Never Even Showed Up

I’m not sure how big of cojones one needs to possess to make a third film in a series of films about a singular masked serial killer, and have that film have nothing to do with said serial killer. Really, does anybody know the size of those things need to be? Well, if you’re a […]

Mac Quayle : Mr. Robot Volume 4

Mr. Robot is one of those shows where it feels just as much some bizarre science fiction tale as it does an indictment on those with money and power and those that wish to take that money and power away. At times the show feels very much “of the times” and a pretty upfront tale […]

A Fistful Of Dolarhyde

Growing up, there were two very important libraries in my life. The first was the Nappanee Public Library. This was not my local library, but it was where my grandma Hubner worked. Every week my dad would go over to visit my grandma and do whatever work needed done around the house. He’d pay her […]

Mayhem!….Bloody Mayhem!

Occasionally I like a good dose of tongue firmly planted in cheek when it comes to horror/action/violent cinema. You get too much of that serious, brooding, bloody cinema and I think it starts to affect you. Like, you only want to eat organic food and drink purified water and you forget the pleasures of a […]

JHubner73 Presents : Favorite Soundtracks of 2017

Over the last few years the film score has become very important to me. It was always there, even from a little kid getting goosebumps thanks to John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Danny Elfman, and Ennio Morricone, the film score was making its mark on me whether I realized it or not. But just within the […]

“What The Hell Did I Just Buy?” : Adventures In Vinyl

As a vinyl guy, it’s my duty to make things hard on myself. I am quite aware that there are these things called “digital downloads”, where you can receive music right through your computer and put those albums onto a digital listening device. This allows the listener to have hundreds or thousands of albums inside […]
