Theme Week - À la bibliothèque, bébé! (1/5)

Hey you filthy gluttons, time to put down your 4-day-old leftovers and pay attention to a few treats that sound great even well past their expiration date. I'm gonna devote this week to some of my favorite Library jams. It's a world well worth exploring, given how many really good composers happened to find work in production music. I like the idea of undermining starry-eyed notions about music somehow being made without commercial considerations coming into play. Sometimes singing for your supper gets you an unexpected piece of immortality; maybe via a mid-'70s British cop show. Or this, if you're really lucky.

This week is all about people who made stock music sound anything but. If you're not familiar with the golden age of Library music, you should head over to these excellent sites. Meanwhile, let's start with a zippy little number for making your way down the crowded avenue of your choice.
