Link to join the discord server if you haven't already: https://discord.gg/DTb2Md6d

Saturday, 2 PM, CDT. Check your local time to make sure you show up correctly.
Actually, let me just tell you:
3 PM in the Eastern US/Canada
8 PM in Ireland/UK
9 PM in Germany
6 AM in eastern Australia
Noon in the West Coast US (this currently includes Arizona, people in Arizona)
1 PM in Alberta, people in Alberta.

Actually, I'm not sure who's still on daylight savings, who's off, and who just started. So look at the time this was posted, do the internal conversion you normally do from Filmtracks time, and subtract half an hour. That's when it starts.

Once again, I have a surprise planned for this one that's Halloween themed, which is why I'm not spilling which score we're listening to just yet. But it's going to be a blast. Hope to hear you there!

For the uninitiated: Discord is a group messaging app that has both text and voice chat functions. It was originally designed for gaming, but I've found it very useful for playing music and live discussion. How it works? We all join the voice channel (you have the option to mute yourself if you just want to listen/would rather use the text channel), I command a bot to play music for us, and I lead a discussion of the score (with some prepared notes) as we listen. Events usually last around two hours, and since people keep asking, it's audio-only, so don't fret if you're worried about other people seeing you or you seeing nudity.

To join the server, click the link above and create an account if you need to. Once you have joined, DM me (Vikram, aka sultanofnsark, aka AhN) to let me know who you are/how I know you. Let me emphasize this: If I don't know who you are you can only listen in! Lots of people have joined the server without verifying themselves to me, so they don't have access to the main text channel and can't speak in the voice channel. Once you're in the server, you can read the server rules in the new/lost members channel, check the #events channel for updates (and vote on what times work for you), the #main-chat channel for various discussions, and #live-discussion for discussion during the event.

I'm literally persuading my in-laws to do a corn maze day with the kids on Sunday instead, specifically so I can make this Discord hahaha. Missed every damn one so far, can't miss another one! Especially since we're listening to The Painted Veil WHOOPS SORRY spoiled the surprise! :P

Actually in retrospect, that would've been hilarious of you....prepping everyone for a spooky Halloween Discord, and then BOO, it's a pretty Desplat drama. Ideas for an April 1st party...?

April 1st has to be Chernobyl, surely?

I'm never telling you secrets again. I was going to have such a good laugh when I dropped the twist. Whatever.

I'm very touched that you're trying so hard to make this one, though I'm curious what your line of argument is with your family. Are you saying that you want to talk with an internet friend about music Saturday afternoon? Or would that prompt a "don't you do that all the time anyway?" response?

(Also, it's not Painted Veil. But maybe it should be...)

Nyuk nyuk nyuk!

I'm saying I have an "online meeting" hahaha. Which isn't technically untrue...

> (Also, it's not Painted Veil. But maybe it should be...)

It should never be Painted Veil. For anything.

I'm guessing you never relistened:

It's okay, I'm going to repeat that this is one of Desplat's best cues: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLcWgVNE8bk

I 100% agree with that cue. I knew exactly what cue it was before I clicked on it because I feel the same way.

Curses!!!

I'll be at Dune during this....
So sorry for missing all of these thus far, Vik! Especially bummed since this is a Halloween special. sigh....

Next time!!

All good dude, hopefully you can make the holiday one!

You should still join the discord now so you can stay in the loop about future events.

> All good dude, hopefully you can make the holiday one!

That one might actually be more surprising for me since I'm not huge into holiday scores.

Will do!

I got my weekends mixed up when I voted on times last month and I'll actually be at a friend's wedding during this. Probably would be bad form to call in during it.

Sorry to miss the surprise. Maybe next time...

If it's Halloween, I swear to God...

> If it's Halloween, I swear to God...

I am on record multiple times saying I'm not going to build up this surprise and then just play Halloween...

We're actually going to play Halloween AND Painted Veil, just alternate tracks as we go sequentially through each album.

> We're actually going to play Halloween AND Painted Veil, just alternate tracks as we go sequentially through each album.

I'm game.

Seems they started to play college football on Saturdays, so, you know, priorities. Alas... someday.

Curious to know what you all listen to regardless!

You know you can put the game on mute in the background? Unless you're having people over, in which case never mind. And once again, you should still join the server even if you don't come this time.
