Monday, July 26, 2004 Music from Dawson's Creek... I just received my passport! Was sitting at home working on a job application and I heard a ring on the bell and a knock at the door (the mailman was thorough) and voila - two weeks after my appointment to get a passport it arrives! The new security features are impressive, but I'm not sure what I think about the brown pages. Oh well, I have it for ten years so I guess I have some time to 'get used to it' so to speak. Also, I have been browsing http://www.dawsonscreekmusic.com recently and have found that the songs that were played on Dawson's when it was aired on TV will be changed for the DVD release!!! This outrages me!!! I just don't get what they are thinking. People would presumably buy the DVD season-long sets of Dawson's because they were a fan of the show when it aired on TV and how it was aired on TV, ie the music that went along with it as much as the storyline and the acting. All of those factors go into making you either like or dislike a television show. I've not read their explanation for doing something so stupid, but I just don't understand how you wouldn't notice... Example: ...who can forget in Episode 306 "Secrets and Lies" where the drag queens that Jen arranged as the 'entertainment' for the Homecoming Party are singing It's Raining Men? (Personally, I wouldn't have remembered it but I saw it on tape just a week or so OK... just so we get that straight...) As the drag queens are showed repeatedly lip synching to this song, I just don't understand how on the DVD you wouldn't notice that one of the 'replacement songs' crops up here... Instead of It's Raining Men, some other random song is used... So very very strange and wrong. For this reason, I have begun downloading songs from Dawson's Creek which make me remember the way I felt when I first watched those episodes, not the stupid replacement songs that are probably only used to make money out of people... I'm not saying the replacement artists are any less talented or anything, but I believe there must've been a reason for the music people at Dawson's to have chosen that music in the first place - for its emotion and the way it fit so perfectly with a scene. If you replace the music, you take something away from the essence of the show and lose a lot of the illusion that goes along with it. So anyway, visit the link above and click on season 1, 2 or 3 (those are the only DVD sets released as yet) and you'll see how they have "Season 'x' replacement songs..."
