I've a new podcast launching tomorrow, entitled From & Inspired By. Rather than focusing on film scores -- since there's several very excellent ones already out there -- I'm talking soundtracks. It launches tomorrow, but you can check out a mix I did on the website right now.

Our first episode, on Caddyshack, goes live tomorrow, and I'm excited to see what you all think of it.

The latest episode is now live, featuring an interview with author Mat Bartkowiak regarding his book, The Music of Counterculture Cinema: A Critical Study of 1960s and 1970s Soundtracks, as well as his thoughts on the state of film soundtracks today.

@nuthouse- Enjoyed the interview with Mat Bartkowiak. I think the film Easy Rider has one of the best placement of songs ever in a movie. I always thought all 10 songs fit each scene perfectly. My personal favorite is (The Electric Prunes-Kyrie Eleison Mardi Gras). Thank you for posting this interview.

A sports comedy that's still hilarious over 25 years since its debut, Major League can rightly be called a classic. The soundtrack has an interesting collection of mostly-forgettable blues rock, along with one incandescent cover by Los Angeles punk band, X.

We speak by phone with X's frontwoman Exene Cervenka about the band's work on the soundtrack, as well as their other cinematic work for X-Files: Fight the Future and The Decline of Western Civilization.

Mutiny at Muscle Beach doesn't see Night Birds referencing pop culture so explicitly as in the past, but it's still a must-own for fans of the band and those who love punk rock. It's the band's strongest release yet, and a surprising change of pace from their previous LP, Born to Die in Suburbia. We spoke by phone with the band's singer, Brian Gorsegner, about Night Birds' pop culture influences and songwriting processes, as well as a look at his favorite movie soundtrack.

Hello! We've had some great episodes since I last posted -- including bits on Mallrats with Wax's Joe Sib and the Karate Kid with Joe 'Bean' Esposito. Our latest episode is the music of Rob Zombie's The Devil's Rejects and Halloween II with Jesse Dayton. This coming week, we'll feature Dave W of White Hills talking about Only Lovers Left Alive.

Despite his rigorous touring schedule, Jesse Dayon's best known for the music he created for the bands which appeared in two of director Rob Zombie's films: Banjo & Sullivan in The Devil's Rejects, and Captain Clegg & The Nightcreatures in Halloween II. We spoke with him by phone from Atlanta, where he and his band were taking a break from practice for their current tour.

On the new episode, we speak with Eric Craig, Director of A&R and Music Supervision at Lakeshore Entertainment. We spoke with Mr Craig back in November, so a few references may seem a bit out of date, but his insights into the world of acquiring and licensing music for films is evergreen. Among the films we discuss in particular are Drive and Napoleon Dynamite.
