Lileks and Star Trek 

Lileks and Star Trek

James Lileks has managed to acquire a CD of the actual soundtrack of an original Star Trek episode. The composer is not the guy who wrote the famous theme, but he works with that theme in different moods--melancholy when the bad guy seems to be gaining, dischordant during a crisis, etc.

This post by Lileks, complete with samples of the music, is truly outstanding. I e-mailed him for the first time to tell him so. Via Jonah Goldberg on the Corner.
