The review embargo has lifted on Behemoth!, the new film by Tony Gilroy, so I can finally say how much I truly loved it. I was lucky to see a press screening in August. Pedro Pascal stars as a cellist in a love letter to movie scoring. He literally records the music to his own flashbacks—it is so cool. The actual music was written by numerous composers including James Newton Howard and Alan Silvestri. You’ll be reading about all of this—including in the virtual pages of FSM O

We will be packing and shipping CD orders from this week’s sale through next week. Still a copy of Young Guns II from Intrada! Here is the updated spreadsheet of inventory. Thanks and have a great weekend!

Thank you for making this a huge week for us at FSMCDs.com! I truly appreciate it. And I hope everybody understands—I think you do—I love this music! It never loses its appeal for me. We still have a lot of goodies that I would not expect to be around for long, like the FSM Knight Rider. Here’s a spreadsheet to review, if it’s easier—then you can buy at FSMCDs.com. Thanks!

Thank you for all your orders from yesterday’s CD sale of The Richard Kraft Collection. Above is the two-inch-thick stack of orders I have to pull! This will take a few days. There’s still thousands more amazing film music CDs (and other things) in stock! Here is an updated spreadsheet, and go to FSMCDs.com to order. By the way, we routinely combine multiple orders into a single shipment and refund the excess shipping cost (unless instructed not to). We’ll take care of you! A

We are LIVE at FSMCDs.com with the Richard Kraft CD Collection! Here is the spreadsheet of inventory—which does NOT update as items sell, so if you see it on the spreadsheet but not at the site, that’s why. Please log in to your account at FSMCDs.com BEFORE you shop! We’ve had people put a bunch of stuff in their cart, and then log on, only to find the cart somehow starting from scratch. We’re working to fix all this stuff but make it easier on yourself and login! I am prayin

We are all set for Tuesday’s sale of Richard Kraft’s CD collection. There are extra supplies in my living room, because the office is overflowing with CDs! See you soon!

Ahead of Tuesday’s huge sale, we’ve added 6 copies we have in stock of 100 Years of Elmer Bernstein, a beautifully produced 3CD set from Willow & Cavern of a Peter Bernstein-conducted concert. We also have 3 more copies of the program book. I don’t expect them to be around very long.

We are very nearly prepped for the huge CD sale of Richard Kraft’s collection on Tuesday. Expect FSMCDs.com to go into maintenance mode Monday (as we upload the new listings, over 6K of them!) and stay that way until Tuesday morning, 9/29/26, 10AM Pacific / 1PT Eastern. Looking forward! Thanks!

I remember not thinking much of The Lost World at the time—it seemed rather contrived, like nobody was pretending otherwise—but I find I listen to the expanded CD a lot. I always loved the theme, but I feel like I can hear the glee that John Williams found in evoking all the old jungle tropes. He lays down these percussion grooves and then goes nuts with the orchestra on top: You can make the connection between this and Lost in Space, but it’s so much bigger and more sophisti

Thanks to everybody who supported our Kickstarter for the James Horner TV music album: A Few Days in Weasel Creek, Angel Dusted, A Piano for Mrs. Cimino, and “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” from Faerie Tale Theatre. The recording sessions are coming up on October 8, 9 and 10 at Smecky Studios in Prague. Several donors qualified to attend the sessions are going (I can’t make it, sorry), and I suppose you’ll meet each other there, but if you want to connect ahead of time, please us

Thank you for all the orders from yesterday’s sale! We are working to get them out asap. Here is a revised spreadsheet of what we have in stock. Looking forward to September 29th and the Richard Kraft Collection—this will be nuts!

Going on sale in two weeks, September 29, 2026 at 10AM Pacific / 1PT Eastern is that monster colleciton I’ve been hinting at: THE RICHARD KRAFT COLLECTION, from longtime film composer agent/manager extraordinaire (seen above in the early 1990s, photobombing then-clients Henry Mancini and Jerry Goldsmith). Richard is a HUGE lover of film music, friend to the community, and MASSIVE collector—you may remember hearing about his Disney collection that he auctioned several years ag

Our friend Wade Riddick has been working on custom software designed to help collectors and fans manipulate their lawfully purchased music tracks. It’s a way to program your own sequences by using the software to reorder tracks into smaller musical selections and create new edit points. Here is a manual which explains it better than I can! He’s looking for beta testers, email me if you might be interested and I’ll connect you: LukasKendallMV@gmail.com. Thanks!

Above: Just a small portion of the upcoming collection we will be listing by the end of the month! Thank you to everybody ordered from yesterday’s email blast via La-La Land Records. We’ll get those shipped asap! Thousands of titles still in stock at FSMCDs.com! Here’s an updated spreadsheet for quick review. Thank you!

Welcome to everybody finding this blog column from the La-La Land Records email list! If you want to sign up for our mailing list, please go here. We typically do a new email blast every two or three weeks (usually on a Tuesday) to announce new listings. Most of you probably know me, but I am Lukas Kendall from Film Score Monthly. In recent years I’ve started a used film music CDs store, FSMCDs.com. It’s pretty straightforward: we take collections on consignment (we pay 50% o

We’re heading on a Labor Day getaway so my next post will be Tuesday. It’s going to be a huge month at FSMCDs.com, see you on the other side!

I am very glad to see that La-La Land Records has reissued half of the Double Indemnity: Film Noir at Paramount album that I produced for Intrada some years back, and which is now long out of print. They’ve included the two best scores, Friedhofer’s Ace in the Hole and Rózsa’s Double Indemnity, along with the shorter excerpts available from Desperate Hours (Kubik) and Union Station (Roemheld). I am fond of these films, having taken a film noir class at college way back in the

An update on our James Horner TV movie Kickstarter project: We are confirmed with Smecky Studios for October 8–10. Scores are prepped and ready! The schedule is: Angel Dusted October 8th, morning; A Piano for Mrs. Cimino October 8th, afternoon; A Few Days in Weasel Creek double session (morning and afternoon), October 9th; and then “The Pied Piper of Hamelin” from Faerie Tale Theatre October 10th (either morning or afternoon, TBD). Donors qualified to attend and interested in

I was happy to see Stu Phillips on YouTube with Mike Matessino and Deniz Cordell discussing the upcoming Intrada box set of the classic Battlestar Galactica: I have fond memories of working with Stu on the FSM Knight Rider album and am glad he’s involved and interested in this new BSG box set.

Soundtrack Gems is a pretty massive archive of film scores and composers—so massive that I asked its provenance and the owner described as human-created, A.I.-assisted. It has a YouTube channel as a companion, making it a pretty neat—and free—resource to explore composers and scores. I really appreciate these things because it takes me back to the 1980s when I was getting into film scores. Needless to say there were no soundtrackgems.com. There was me turning over the video b
