Disc 24 / 48

I've gone to B Fest, a 24 hour long bad movie marathon, every year since 2001. Since 2002, with one exception, I've made a mix disc of B movie songs to hand out at the event as well (usually free, sometimes not when I can't afford to give away a $300 project to people who want a CD). People have actually asked me to sign their giveaway discs in the past, and as far as I can tell they weren't being ironic about their desire to have an autographed Fest disc.

This is the culmination of the Fest mixes; songs about movie monsters, space travelers, kung fu superstars, sea monsters, movie-going itself (and home video), as well as two unconventional magic users--or three, if you count Vladek Sheybal's uber-fey take on the Antichrist. The theme was used for disc 24 because film is projected at 24 frames a second. It's also the halfway point of the Timothology itself.

Johnny Cash apparently wrote and recorded a theme for the film Thunderball without being contacted by the movie studio to do that. It's really too bad they didn't use it. I think it's a lot better than the Tom Jones theme we got (which was supposedly written in 20 minutes because the producers did not like the song "Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang" that Jones was going to record. They rejected it because it didn't have the movie's title in it). Which is not to bag on Tom Jones, but even great pop singers can use more than 20 minutes' practice before laying down a track.
