oldschoolsoapfan has uploaded "Love Is Gone", with some GREAT old pictures to go with: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pxjq64jwiHQ

But you know, AMS.. you *may* have also been referring to the slow version of the Genoa City theme. I would KILL for a clean copy of that, this clip seems to have a good amount of it, starting at :10: Incidentally, this clip ALSO conatins the THIRD version of "Sally's Theme". There is a version on the 1974 soundtrack album, the one in this clip, and the SLOW version that many people today refer to as "Katherine's Theme".. that slow version is the only piece from the original score that theyv'e used to any degree in the last 8 years.

Ask and ye shall receive (I love this song, too): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v7wqOWGZieQ

Oh, Heck yes.. i've got the full Genoa City Theme. i'll get it up soon.

Here ya go!!!

I thought *overall* it sucked, mainly because the dramatic cues are what Y&R is best known for, and it really NEEDED those to balance it out. Lost Hope is a GEM, one of the best this show ever had, it has been used primarily where "Blue Images" used to be inserted. 3AM was another gd one on there.. but really there were only 4 or 5 really good ones on the whole disc. With the advent of Itunes, I don't see any reason why ALL shows cna't have theri background scores ripe and ready for purchase.

I hope not.

I don't think Obama is Worst president ever, I think he's like Jimmy Carter, too idealstic for his own good. He needs to really play dirty. But Bellcurve, I agree with you TOTALLY about the gulf. I can say with complete certainty, that I will NEVER eat gulf seafood again for the rest of my life ( I rarely ate it to begin with, only the occasional shrimp). I feel this has poisoned the gulf FOREVER. Any seafood I eat will come from the pacific, case closed. And the only fish I eat comes from my pond, anyway. I certainly would never go DOWN there with all those chemicals that have been applied, ridiculous.. Michelle's promo ops reminds me of those 50's cigarette commercials that featured DOCTORS.

This forum is UK based, so they talk primarily about that, but they also talk about US shows as well. I'm a member of that forum, as I am a big music footage collector, and they have a sub-forum that deals with just that. http://missingepisodes.proboards.com/index.cgi#active

This is what I'd LOVE to see!:

Won't let him join? do tell... sounds like a juicy thing going on there. But whichever tour Rudy was a part of would take him, don't you think? Might as well put the two of them together in the same show, you get a double gay draw. See which one can out-camp the other. they should break some damn ground and do a male pair routine. People would LOVE IT!

Cat, I love your avatar, BTW! SFK is going crazy, i'm sure! LOL I hope if he DOES go into fashion, he's able to make better choices, cause sometimes he looks like a gay russian pimp. I guess we'll see where it all leads. I guess if all else fails, he could do one of those ice tours, aren't those pretty lucrative? He could put on a FANTASTIC show, the folks would eat it up!

Nothing sounded condescending to me. I've seen the kids today have that same attitude, it's just part of getting old! Yes, and those of us like me, Thom, and Rudy are the next generation AFTER Stonewall... so i'm sure all the queens in their 50's and 60's think WE are a bunch of dweebheads!

Yep... that summed it up really well! It proabably Is the attitude of the younger generation that is leaving me in the dust. Those of us who are older are like, "We fought hard for you bitches!! Don't go being evasive after all the work wev'e done!" I guess I have a hard time accepting why he has no hesitation to SHOW us he's gay, but seems reluctant to SAY it. To me, it's not as if it's a surprise, so why not make the reporters uncomfortable for asking. I would LOVE for him to say to some reporter... "Yes, of course I am... isn't it obvious? Now, when you interview Lysacek, are you going to ask HIM if he takes it up the ass?" It would be howlingly delicious. I know those of us in my generation (Rudy Galindo, Thom Bierdz, etc. )can come off as flag-wavers, but that's just where we came from.

Cat, I thought that pink and black skating outfit was ugly as hell. Did he design that? With all the skewed, lopsided lacing? Goodness me. I can't figure him out. He's cute as hell... but he also looks like he might be a bitch princess that I'd have to open up a can of whoopass on every once in a while. My only issue with him is when a reporter asks if he's gay, he's always "What does it matter?" blah blah blah... for someone of the *older* generation who had virtually no role models to look up to, it matters a hell of alot to many people, especially younger kids in more remote or conservative areas. If I were him... I would have answered the question with "Are you blind!!" or.... "We need to buy you one of those white canes, don't we?" I mean, Rudy broke the ice already... what's his problem?

This is always one of my favorites... Lulu, "Oh me oh my": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E66uJQtxdHg

Yes, I agree... those recent new Patty cues were pretty good. I also thought the Paris stuff was executed well... I just think that with a 40 percent budget cut, it's time to END all new background compositions, and use what you have. theyv'e got a CRAPLOAD of stuff. The only exception I felt was warranted was the song they wrote for Maitland. That was appropriate, and the best surprise in a decade.

I had no idea Andy Williams recorded a vocal version of that! but then again, he also did the same with the theme to "Love Story" and released it as a single, and had some chart action. His version of Quentin's theme was never released as a single, and i'm glad... the instrumental is by far the best. But then, I cream myself for any song with alot of harpsichord. The intsrumental version went to number 13 on the billboard chart in late 69.

Nice way to handle it, but I read somewhere that isn't "officially" out, is this true?

Oh, Gosh... synth is never better than real instruments, unless it's in a new age or disco/dance song. The Piano part is the best part of the DOOL original theme. Realistically, it would sound a TON better if they had to original master, and you heard it in non-compressed, full stereo... the difference would be like the leap from AM radio to your Stereo system at home. But here's a tune that I don't think has been posted in here, and is one of may favorites... and if I'm not mistaken, it just may be the ONLY piece of soap opera background music that was released as a single, and made it into the billboard top 20!! From Dark Shadows:

Have we got NEWS FOR YOU!!!

Tonight I'm listening to another great disco tune from 1975. Ralph Carter (Yes, Michael form "Good Times"!) "When You're Young And In Love: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bdT8FCjHP5I

My good friend Stephanie Campbell did a great interview with legendary record industry mixer Tom Moulton, responsible for the mixes of so many legendary disco hits, and the inventor of the 12 inch single. Interesting interview !: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/stephaniecolleen/2010/02/14/the-legendary-mixmaster-tom-moulton This is one of my favorite dance mixes by Tom, the dance mix of Grace Jones' "I Need a Man" from 1977: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IcoNn9b0Nyo

Seriously, some of you guys actually like Britney Spears? Don't you all feel her voice (what little there is) sounds over-processed and overwhelmed by the production? and what about that whiny tone quality she has. doesn't that grate on the nerves?
