I don’t feel bad about this because you do not have to pay. You can choose to not receive the newsletter. And nothing that I write here at Off The Tracks is going behind […]

Nathan Micay: Industry OST

Nathan Micay Industry OST LuckyMe I really enjoyed the TV series Industry – and I’ve recommended it to a few people that have either hated it instantly or told me they’d already tried it and couldn’t get past the first episode. One of the complaints, too, was the film’s relentless music; sitting deep inside and […]

Cream: Leavin’ Town Baby (Stockholm, March 7th 1967 Sveriges Broadcast)

Cream Leavin’ Town Baby (Stockholm, March 7th 1967 Sveriges Broadcast) Blue Cactus Cream. The great power trio. The great supergroup. British Blues Boom wunderkinds. They blazed a trail – and it can be hard to remember back what with Ginger now gone and Jack Bruce before him. And Clapton just drifting along into retirement – […]

Mark Isham & Isabella Summers: Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack]

Mark Isham & Isabella Summers Little Fires Everywhere [Original Soundtrack] Hollywood Records, Inc. Little Fires Everywhere was a fantastic TV mini-series; loved it. Great writing, acting, the works – brilliant use of score to heighten the dramatic tension in scenes and a nice little idea of playing with covers, basically doing them all in a […]

Poem: I Grew Up Watching Mork & Mindy and Popeye and Good Morning Vietnam and Listening to Live At The Met…

Robin Williams only had a few bits and he did them over and over again, talk show to talk show to stage and screen always on, always braving it strong with the same set of voices, the same comedic choices – a hyperdrive improviser he bought and sometimes stole his material but there was never […]

The Vinyl Countdown # 142

Kermit Schafer, Pardon My Blooper! (1954) It’s credited to Kermit Schafer – an American TV and radio writer and producer. But that doesn’t concern me at all. This silly, dated, embarrassing, unfunny collection of bloopers is on vinyl. It comes from the 1950s. Many of the moments wouldn’t even raise a dry smile, let alone […]
