Check Out Our Library Music Episode! (funny, right?) - Episode 32

If you haven’t yet been initiated into the fun that is Library
Music, we’re hoping this episode will change that. This isn’t
muzak. Well, the part of the industry we go over isn’t, at least.
Library Music, also called Production Music and Incidental Music,
is heard in most of the movies and TV shows you’ve ever seen. All
those snippets of songs that are playing in the background that is
designed to tell you how to feel when you’re watching a show or a
movie. Sort of an invisible jumbotron telling you what to feel and
when. These songs are usually recorded long before the show or
movie ever even existed and they were recorded by people whose
names you probably don’t know. And they didn’t care. In this
episode, we spend our time focussing on the Golden Age of Library
Music recordings, the 60s, and 70s.   This book was invaluable
