schooldaze

So, as some of you may have noticed, I'm really digging the new Patrick Cowley & Jorge Socarras release, Catholic. OK, well maybe you didn't notice, but someone did, and I got an email yesterday asking if I'd ever managed to extract the music from the Fox Studios vintage film, School Daze. The quick answer was, nope, never managed to do it. But, I was in a curious mood last night, so I spent several hours downloading and experimenting with several free DVD extracting programs, and while non quite did what I would've liked - I only got as far as creating several random 5-minute musical clips - I figured y'all might enjoy this peak into what Cowley was doing around 1982. So, here ya go: random 5 minutes of music from School Daze soundtrack, by Patrick Cowley, and another random 5 minutes of music from School Daze soundtrack, by Patrick Cowley. (compare that last one with the commercial versions I posted back here.)
