I also have a radio show here in Pittsburgh and would love to incorporate music from Firefly into the show.

I am talking to FOX's legal department now about permission for even a few 30 second clips to put on the interview. Ideally, they want you to pay for a performance license from ASCAP/BMI. I don't know how radio shows do it, but if you can get legal permission, then they might even send you a CD you can use so you don't have to lift it off the DVD.

If anyone has some audio Mp3 tracks of firefly music, I would be happy to provide storage space and bandwidth on my server for people to download from.

Contact me at Max@Temkin.com or on AIM at EnDreamStudios

Thanks!

Hi, UK fan here, this might sound odd, but there is a radio station here called Classic FM, that basically plays classical music, however in recent years they have been playing more and more movie soundtracks, such as Lord of the Rings, and even some other 'classic' style music. I think the Firefly soundtrack would also sit very comfortably on such a radio station if it was heard.

I've also sent an email to Fox and posted the first post from this thread on some other sites I know of where people are fans of the show and in some of the Firefly yahoo groups in order to get more people mailing!!

Done, and done!

I sorta have a soundtrack running in my head constantly anyway, so having real music playing at the same time is a bonus!

I posted previously about the software I used. And basically... you can't eliminate the dialogue. One reason (among many others) I can't wait for a real score release.

Just sent my email asking for a CD.
Thanks for the info.

E-mail away. I specifically asked for a CD release.

Hope this effort works.

Sent my email!

I would really prefer a CD, but if I have to burn it from the internet, I will.

Email sent :) This browncoat wants the soundtrack VERY badly.

I would indeed prefer a CD, but I'll buy it either way (and just make my own cd with my legally purchased song downloads).

I sent off an e-mail STRONGLY HINTING that I would prefer a CD release over buy'n'burn. I'm not satisfied until I tear off the plastic wrap and crack open a fresh jewel case.

Ah...plastic wrap. One of life's sweet, yet oft overlooked pleasures.

ANYway, one thing I thought of is that if anybody else is going to be making a pitch for CDs over downloads is to mention how much you'd love to PREORDER something like a Firefly soundtrack. Seriously, companies LOVE preorders. They love them to bits. Saying you'll buy a Firefly soundtrack when it gets made is good, but saying you'll put money up-front for it before the master disc has even been burned is better in certain corporate eyes.

Think how impressive it'd be for the first batch of not-even-made-yet CDs to sell out in, let's say, a week. Or less. It might send a message that there's an audience out here willing to front the money for stuff like this, and that the risks they (Fox or whoever) may take when it comes to this aren't really that risky after all.

Or maybe not. Who knows? But it's something to think about at any rate.
