Attack of the Killer Soundtrack - Episode 50

This week we welcome our special guest - Austin-based singer/songwriter Bob Schneider. Bob has been making music since he was a kid and has spent the majority of his adult life writing songs and playing live all across the country. So join us as we discuss the changing Austin scene, working with director Robert Rodriguez, recording his live shows out on the road, what he likes to watch on Netflix and the special trick to getting your songs on a string of movie soundtracks.

And as we\\u2019re clued in on the finer points of Leave Her to Heaven, we also bring up\\u2026Ypsilanti, South by Southwest, Alfred Newman, worked at a country club, I got some recognition from the ladies, El Paso, I feel like it\\u2019s pretty easy to make things complicated, and the music was insane, It was something my dad did, filming and editing video, I think of songs like solvable problems, a great way to capture this unique event, this is where I shine, the Sandra Bullock soundtrack collection, Germany, she\\u2019s weird\\u2026 she doesn\\u2019t even look human, The Great British Baking Show, they just handed me a video camera, backed him up on drums, it really leveled the playing field, that was straight up nepotism, if you ever want to just treat yourself to something interesting, I just drew all the time, music especially\\u2026 is such a huge part of the emotional\\u2026 compass or whatever\\u2026 in a film, CalArts, a $1000 cap on the budget, the cool thing about playing music when you\\u2019re 4 and 5 years old \\u2013 you don\\u2019t have to be very good, dream of becoming an opera singer, it should be almost invisible, I enjoy making things, a string section on every track, the way they incorporate the soundtrack, the internal sense is that I\\u2019m great, studying voice, this is where you should cry and how creative can you get?

\\u201c\\u2026which kind of gave it this sort of cinematic quality to the music\\u2026 it made it very dramatic sounding and lush. And I was like, \\u2018Oh this would be great music\\u2026 as a soundtrack\\u2019.\\u201d
