The Black Hole Presents: Top 5 Music Acts Who Need To Score A Film

Composers are all well and good. If traditional composers weren't struttin' their stuff all around the studios, we wouldn't have amazing scores like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Blood and Bone. (That last one was a joke. Funny, right?).

But, if Daft Punk and Trent Reznor showed us anything, it's that a popular music act from the modern era can not only make an effective film score, but they can do it damn well, eschewing the traditional symphonies and bringing something new to the table. Hell, Mastodon wrote the music for Jonah Hex, and that was the only good thing about that piece of crap. Castor beat me to the game with this one, but who's to say I can't come up with my own list? Here is the Black Hole's list of the Top 5 Music Acts That Need To Score A Film. Bet you can't guess who number one is.

To make this list, the act needs to be able to craft interesting and appealing music without the help of lyrics. I know it worked for Eddie Vedder, but, put simply, most film scores won't have lyrics outside of the closing credits. Plus, it presents more of a challenge for the artists, and we all know how much we love a good challenge. Leap with me.

Dream on!

LAMBcast #33: Top 5 Reasons I Should Never Host

Be prepared as I thoroughly embarrass myself hosting this latest episode of the LAMBcast. For this episode, Nick, Jason, James, Kai, and I all came up with a Top 5 list to share with everyone. It went on forever, and we had a total blast. It's followed up, as always, by some Last Lamb Standing and Trailer Talk. Enjoy!

Note: This is the last one I'm gonna be doing for awhile! You know, college. So, if you enjoyed hearing me shoo the shit with these guys, you'll have to wait a little bit for the next installment. You never know. Maybe I'll work some stuff out and start my own podcast. We'll just have to wait and see.
