HBO adaptation of Game of Thrones - will this be just for nerds? (NO SPOILERS PLEASE)

they left out the other 53 escape attempts, during one of which jaime distracted a guard by dressing as a beautiful lady and hitting him on the head with a frying pan

celebrity judges on westeros got talent

Is that Tyrion mural real?!

no, photoshopped.

It'll be real soon.

Just finished a first listen to the soundtrack release for Season 2, and I'm glad to be able to say it's much better than the half-assed, cheapish sound design droney junk Djawadi provided for season 1. (I know, he was hired at the last minute so time constraints etc and yes he did come up with a damn catchy Main Title). This time there are some real signs of compositional life as he puts his main theme through a number of highly contrasting variations, and the instrumentation feels much less like something you'd hear over an early edition of Baldur's Gate. I still wish they hadn't hired someone from the Hans Zimmer stable though. Christian Henson would've been so awesome on this project based on what he did for Black Death. Anyway, season 2 CD is solidly worth hearing though nowhere near great.

I didn't even know they released soundtrack albums for this.

the theme song is the best

I can't tell if he rerecorded a more organic (less synthetic) version of the theme song for the S2 CD or if it just sounds better to me bcuz the subsequent tracks are better.

for those of you that don't frequent the blue oyster cult thread, BOC is currently using the game of thrones title theme as their "taking the stage" music

I get the theme song to this show stuck in my head for days at a time. It's really starting to annoy me.

This has already been posted upthread, needs reposting for posterity

(Game of thrones opening sung by Sansa, Arya and Bran)

nearly as good as this:

Oh by the way, the CD includes 'Rains of Castermere' performed by popular indie recording artist The National. (but written by show composer Djawadi)

that was better for the 60 seconds i thought they were singing "funky game of thrones"

Serious LOLZ at that deal with it gif!

lol between the sing along and that pic of them goofin off upthread it seems like the kids are having a good time on set

wkiw arya

I get the theme song to this show stuck in my head for days at a time. It's really starting to annoy me.

It plays on a constant loop in my head when I am reading the books.

well that's convinced me to never read the books

The National track is actually pretty nice.

Yeah I really, really wanted to hate it, but it was actually not bad.

For reference:

would totally buy a comp of self-serious indie bands doing all the big songs from the books. Though I guess there's prob not enough w/ lyrics for more than an EP.

Berninger's baritone suits the tone particularly well, imo. I don't think I'd want to hear, say, Of Montreal's take.

I'd hear of Montreal do the "a bear, a bear, a bear" one maybe!

ha i was gonna ask who to play the bear and the maiden fair

Kanye might kill it.

No wozzas.

tbf that factoid is just for nerds

and yet it still felt anticlimactic. What gives?
