Episode 79 - Oscar Best Score Nominations

Yes.  The Oscar nominations have been public for a while, but it takes time for these things to settle in.  The crew assemble (virtually) to discuss each of the five nominees in the BEST SCORE category for the 87th Annual Academy Awards.  We give our predictions as to who we think will win and also who we'd like to see win.  We also share some responses from Twitter and Facebook on the topic.  Also in this episode WHYBLT? is back and Edmund Meinerts gets his chance to lay down his thoughts on Shore's Battle of the Five Armies score and our discussion in ep. 78.

The Biggest Vine Scoop of the Day: Hans Zimmer's Deluxe Man of Steel or Interstellar?

It's like Vine of Steel Versus Vinesterstellar

So our good friend, Alex Billington (Firstshowing.net) had a little shiny to show off on Vine.  Yes.  Pretty cool.  We have to admit that.  And we won't even mention his interview with HANS ZIMMER.  You'll see he got his hands on the deluxe edition of the MAN OF STEEL soundtrack, but just to make sure he, and the rest of the world knows, we at Tracksounds still "gots pull," we published our first official vine below, regarding one of Hans Zimmer's NEXT projects...INTERSTELLAR...

Like I said, "Pretty cool," but we've got the inside scoop on INTERSTELLAR.  Make sure you listen closely as you'll get some exclusive, early sound from Zimmer's earliest mock ups for his next Christopher Nolan score.  Please note that this isn't the final artwork...and could possibly change before the official release.

So you tell us.  Which is the bigger scoop? 

Oh and thanks for coming out on Android today, Vine.  You made all this possible.
