TRANSFROMERS score by Steve Jablonsky CD online petition!


Here’s an MP3 – courtesy of Burger King’s promotional tie-in site – of the Decepticons theme music from Transformers.

I’m making this post to convey the following information: that in the past day or so this blog has received a heavy amount of traffic. It’s much more than usual. And looking at the logs, right now the vast majority of it is from searches for “transformers” along with “score” and usually “jablonsky” or “cd” or “soundtrack”, and that’s taking them to this post that I made yesterday about how much I’d love to buy a CD of the movie’s score.

Illegals are going to break it
And we’ll never have America again

Better put a stop to this right now or
They’ll be spreading from sea to shining sea
