But when it comes time for us to give gifts for birthdays, christmolasses, b'nai mitzvah, first haircuts, etc, how many of you actually "give the gift of movie music"?

And my mother did commit grand theft OST when she stole my Passion of the Christ album and listened to that thing for almost a year straight. She's crazy.

Other than my son I don't buy scores for people as gifts because I have to support my own habit.

But I do admit that with the youngers I usually hand out fat, self made, box sets. One year I did Movie music (Greatest Music You Never Heard.) Last year I did a massive 8 CD Queen box set that covered quite a bit of ground. This year, it’s the kinks with probably a 4 CD box set of highlight from their decade long career. Next year will either be T-Rex or a punk retrospective. Most of those in these age brackets are only familiar with a few hits and miss out on some really choice material.

My older friends can’t seem to get into CDs. I have done big band sets, film music and even some really odd stuff, but it just sits there, unplayed. SO I give them homemade jam and cookies now.

Now, if someone expresses and interest in a film score, then that’s another matter. Plus whenever I replace a CD-R with a pressed copy I always pass the CD-R onto someone in hopes of creating a convert. I have infected my sisters and I am passing on some extra copies to one of her friends in North Carolina.

Last year, I gave my father the CINEMA CENTURY 3CD set for Christmas. I doubt he has played it very often, but it was worth a shot. He's mostly a classical buff.
