![]() ![]() (L-R: Steve Bartek, Carl Sealove, Brendan McCreary, Paul Cartwright)Ī shorter scene in the bar features the bluesy “Workin’ Man” by Doug and the Mystics (you can hear it on their MySpace page). Come see us on Halloween night, where I am playing keys with BrEndAn’s Band in an outrageous show at The Mint in Los Angeles.īrEndAn’s Band playing “Ain’t We Famous” at The Mint last summer. The recording rocks, but you gotta hear it live. It will also be on the forthcoming Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles soundtrack CD, along with the Shirley Manson song from last week. If you want to hear it, check out his MySpace page. He recorded “Ain’t We Famous” at the same time as I wrote the episode’s score, and in that short time, ended up with a gem. Terminator was the perfect excuse for us to go into the studio with it. But, most of all, I wanted him to record it, since it only existed on crappy live recordings. It’s catchy as hell, and I knew it would be perfect for this scene. He wrote this song about a year ago and has been playing it with his band all over Los Angeles, and it never fails to bring down the house. ![]() I knew immediately the song I wanted her to choose was “Ain’t We Famous,” by Brendan McCreary (yes… relation). Of course, with her looks she could have probably put on Herman’s Hermits’ “Henry The Eighth” and still work her magic. She’s methodical, and would undoubtedly choose a song that would help her mission: something sexy, but with a hard-driving beat that might facilitate her getting close to the guys playing pool. Here, I had a chance to select the song that Cameron would pick! This was a fun opportunity to get inside the character’s head. Of course, it would have been just as easy for her to kill them all, but not quite as subtle.įirst, she starts a song on the juke box. So, Cameron plays the “helpless girl who can’t play pool” trick. Sarah and Cameron infiltrate a bar and Cameron’s job is to get close enough to the security guards playing pool to visually scan their badges. Typically, there will be music at bars in film and tv, but Automatic for the People presented a unique opportunity. (This term refers to music heard by characters in the film, as opposed to score only experienced by the viewing audience). ![]() This week, I wrote lovely score cues for new plot lines and characters, but it was actually the “source” music I had the most fun with. LIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD: I don’t know if my brutal schedule will allow for me to write about every episode of Terminator: T he Sarah Connor Chronicles this season, but tonight’s Automatic for the People features outstanding pieces I can’t resist sharing. ![]()
