Not sure about mood setting...

If I’m warming up on the bass, it usually begins by throwing down a little Barney Miller or Night Court.

Both have some badassss bass lines.

Well-placed contemporary music on a tv show to create moods. Not sure anyone has ever done it as well since, but John Hughes came close on the big screen.

For my generation, it was anything by Lalo Schrifin....


Feb 17, 2020, 11:24 PM

from Dirty Harry movies to Cool Hand Luke to Bullitt chase scenes or a buncha TV shows. It just has that 70's sound to it. Can't describe it, but I know it when I hear it. Badazz bass & drums.

When we get drunk, we fall asleep.
When we fall asleep, we commit no sin.
When we commit no sin, we go to heaven.
So, let's all get drunk, and go to heaven!

Feb 18, 2020, 10:21 AM

a song that perfectly "sets the mood" for the show. Midnight Caller intro. It's got that smooth, jazzy, sultry sound... perfect tone for the show... late night DJ in late 80s San Francisco. It's no classic and was only on a few years, but I always watched it... maybe because I was traveling to SF a lot during that same time.

Of course. I noted Mission Impossible & Hawaii 5-0 early


Feb 18, 2020, 11:11 AM

in the thread, they're classic. BTW, my man Lalo Schifrin did the Mission Impossible theme, too.
