NBC and iTunes no longer do business due to a dispute about TV show pricing...so I am not sure this will end up on iTunes. The fact that Analogman's article states that it will be available on the "Zune Store" and doesn't mention iTunes also leads me to believe this will be the case.

Do you know how many thousands... hundreds... well dozens of Zune customers will be delighted by the exclusivity?

 

The safest guess is that Microsoft/MSN/Zune Store got some kind of a first pick concerning the soundtrack, something like cross promotion for a limited time. Then the tracks will go on sale everywhere else, including iTunes.

 

The conflict between NBC Universal and Apple concerns TV shows, not music tracks (all the more as NBC/G.E. is not a music label). As the iTunes Store is currently the second largest music store in the US (behind Wal-Mart), it would be suicidal not to sell the tracks there. Actually, the bulk of the conflict between Apple and Universal concerning TV shows is that Universal was afraid of letting Apple get such a stronghold on their business as they got one on music.

 

 

By the way, "Heroes" producer Allan Arkush is the same Allan Arkush who made the wonderful "Rock 'n' Roll High School" for Roger Corman, featuring the Ramones. I have never seen his follow-up, "Get Crazy", in which Malcolm McDowell plays a Mick Jagger character obsessed by his penis and Lou Reed spoofs Bob Dylan but it's reportedly as good, if not better.

That would be impossible as Rock 'n' Roll High School is the greatest film ever made.

 

 

Anybody know if the JMC song is a George Harrison cover or an original of the same name?

thanks.

that's not in the lyrics either, so i wonder where that title comes from (unless i'm forgetting the lyrics).

"Lullaby For Rafters and Beams", was originally used in the short film, Zamboni Man so I asssume it has something to do with a hockey arena.

Me too! I liked "Let's Fight." It was played a couple times the summer before SBS came out, and then disappeared, never to be heard again.

yeah, different recording and a different singer.

 

so what exactly happened?

someone asked Jeff to write a song for a movie.

then he did and they had someone else record a version of it.

then later he changed the song's title and put it on SBS?
