Wow. The first non-nate post in this thread.

Anyway, I just read this article here:
http://www.studiobriefing.net/studiobriefing.net/FILM_NEWS/Entries/2010/1/13_FROGS_SCORE_CROAKS_FOLLOWING_ACADEMY_RULING.html

Personally, I think that rule stinks. I can think of so much good score that comes from musical films (Alan Menken's score for Beauty and the Beast comes to mind), and I don't quite understand this ruling, especially when the songs and score are written, I believe, by the same person.

I suppose there's greater irony when you consider SST doesn't have the songs in its library, just the score.

Here's a long interview with Randy Newman. Covers a lot of range from his personally history to music methods to a few songs from his latest album.

I didn't realize how much of his work I've heard covered by others.
