storytimewithjoeWhile jammin' down to Cole Porter tunes, I think to myself about how much music has changed over the decades. It *used* to be that particular song-writers were sought for movies, or pop tunes. And then for quite a while, it didn't seem to matter who WROTE them, but who performed them. And nowadays, the big thing seems to be who PRODUCED or remixed the music.
My, how values change. Do we even HAVE Cole Porters any more? That is, do we have people who are sought after specifically to write that perfect score? Maybe David Byrne (of Simple Minds who composed the Oscar-winning soundtrack for the Last Emperor), or in more obvious ways, Danny Elfman - Tim Burton movies galore, the Simpsons, etc.
Thoughts?
