I've just downloaded the teaser for Enterprise from StarTrek.com and was wondering about the music. It doesn't sound like Trek music at all. But I like it. Does anybody know whether it was especially composed for the teaser or whether it's a song that's available somewhere? Or could this even be the title song?
And another thought: I also downloaded the pics of the engineering set. Honestly, as much as I disliked everything that I had heard about the new series before, I really love that set. If the rest is just as good then I'm definitely looking forward to seeing Enterprise.

No, that's not original music, and it isn't the series theme, either. It's a pop-rock tune by a relatively new band known as The Calling. The rest of the song essentailly sounds like any song by Creed. It plays on local radio about fifteen times an hour... I liked it when I heard it on the preview, but now it's starting to get on my nerves.
Regarding the series' actual music, it's going to be "hip," according to Rick Berman, who also said, "it's not like we're going to use electric guitars." Dennis McCarthy, who composed the Deep Space Nine theme and lots of episodal music from the last three series' is doing the score for "Broken Bow," but it's still up in the air regarding who will do the main theme. All this tells us is that they're apparently still using an orchestral sound, but probably more modern beats.

hip meaning still instrumental but mixing it up with a bit of synth. i think im gonna like this..
Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
Yep, could be nice. Oh and I will try to download the song - here in Germany it hasn't been played on any radio station in my region - so I'm definitely far from being fed up by it. Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
Oh and is the band known as "The Calling" or the song? Is the song title "Wherever you will go" by any chance?
Posted by Hunter (Member # 611) on :
The band is The Calling the song is "Wherever you will go"

Maybe they'll have funky percussion-based music, and a jerky camera style. Star Trek: UFP Blue?

lmao
Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
IBYAP (I beg you a pardon). Wes, what does lmao stand for? I live in Bavaria and I know a Bavarian derogatory term that exactly matches these letters, though I'm most sure that you wouldn't know or mean that. Posted by Vogon Poet (Member # 393) on :
And then some. It means "laughing my ass off."

Ok, I don't wanna see anyone's asses on the first season just for ratings now. Then again the younger guys look cute and in shape... But I can see Berman's strategy for making Trek in tune with a new audience. I'm just a bit worried that he could drive away the current fan base if he tries to cater to the new ones. We'll see...

really? what does the other lmao mean?
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
If it were "LMAA", I'd know what it was. But I'm not sure what German phrase matches "LMAO", unless it's the same thing, but w/ a different word in the last place...
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
"IBYAP (I beg you a pardon)."
And you're asking what LMAO means? Are we reading the book of "internet anacronyms" backwards?
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
"Anacronyms", eh? Wrong, yet strangely right...
Posted by Austin Powers (Member # 250) on :
PsyLiam: I just put in IBYAP for comic relief. I didn't even know it was an accepted abbreviation. TSN: LMAO is the Bavarian version of LMAA. (By the way, it stand's for "Leckst mi am oarsch!") And No, it's not official. Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Wow. I knew Bavarian German had some variation from the regular language, but I didn't know it looked like that! *L*
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
It's not an accepted abbreviation AP, I was just making a teeny joke (actually, and with respect, I still don't know if the fact that you got the phrase wrong was a joke or accident. But since you're German, I'm going to assume the later *meow*. It's "I bet your pardon".)
Now, it may look like I did that just to massage my ego by pointing out dodgy English from non-native speakers, but I actually did it because I care. Suppose that was a question on AP's final exam? Whereas previously, he'd have failed, then turned to hard drugs and become a prostitute dealer, now he'll pass, and end up inventing a machine that makes everyone equal to Simon Sizer (AKA Sol Big Sized System).
Also, since our school thought that Russian was more important than German (RUSSIAN! I ask you...), I have no idea what that means. And I'm far too lazy to wander over to altavista and get a hilariously bad translation ("I am sucking your fish" or something). What's it mean?

Actually, it's "I beg your pardon." I'm going to now go hide so that Liam Kellogg cannot burn down my house again with his magically delicious Pop-Tarts.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Pop-Tarts aren't magically delicious. Lucky Charms are magically delicious. So am I, but that's beside the point.
The Babelfish probably wouldn't give you anything for that phrase, anyway. The actual German phrase is "leck mich am Arsch". The closest translation is "kiss my ass" (literally "lick me on the ass").

You know, I really want to say something funny about this. I mean, I really want to say something funny about licking TSN in order to verify his claims of being "magically delicious." Instead, all I can do is don an Irish accent and say, "Excuse me, laddie, but would ye mind fondling me Lucky Charms?"
Oh, the last time I used that line I was slapped upside the face and had my drink poured down my pants.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
Well, you were either addressing a guy (in which case, unless you were in a gay bar, I understand the reaction), or you called a girl "laddie" (in which case I still understand the reaction).

Actually, it was the cafeteria in my dorm. She was incredibly beautiful. Rebecca was her name. She had been dancing around in my minds ever since I first saw her walk by the security desk during my shift. She was tall; she was about 5 foot 10. She was thin, yet muscular and athletic while at the same time maintaining her femininity. She had long flowing brown hair with streaks of blonder shooting throughout. She had these soft hazel eyes that opened onto her soul. Her smile was enough to melt the hearts of even the most cynical misogynist. Her skin was a nice copper color thanks to the months she trained in the sun jogging around the campus. She was goddess among women, indeed.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
And you walked up to her and explicitly asked her to fondle you? Are you just stupid, or what? *L*
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
Well, truth be told (before anyone starts thinking that I really am that dense about courtship rituals), I did not ask her to "fondle me Lucky Charms." Well, at least not at that time. But she did dump her drink in my lap and hit me on the head with her lunch tray.
The housekeeping staff was vacuuming the dining rooms, and the extension cord for one of the vacuums got pulled taut. Rebecca was coming to join myself and some of the other RA's at a table when she tripped on the cord. I was the closest to her when this happened; I was in the line of fire. Her drink landed in my lap and her tray hit my head. Her salad landed on the table and floor. Poor Rebecca face-planted the floor and was so embarrassed about it.

Oh dear. College boys in love. Teenagers say "what we have is one in a million." College boys have sudden outbursts of stomach churning poetry. Bleugh.
Posted by Siegfried (Member # 29) on :
But don't I get brownie points for "cynical misogynist?"
Anyway, I wasn't in love with Rebecca. She was just a crush I had at the time. We became pretty good friends, and we're still in some contact (she transferred schools). She was the kind of person at the time that I could (and did) pull the Lucky Charms line and (mostly) get away with it.
No, at that time, my love was a woman named Alina. I used to be able to describe her in the same shining use of metaphor that I did with Rebecca. However, I think that now she is just a conceited little bitch who does everything possible to avoid getting the blame for anything that goes wrong under her supervision.

First of all, you have a spare? Secondly, where can I get one?
