We're still gliding through the galactic spacelanes for day 143 of #TheDiegeticShuffle with an instrumental shoegaze track from NAAARTAAAT (really the Tel Aviv band Tatran): "Fields of Dusk" feels like a deep breath in a slowly spinning starfield. youtu.be/-N6w5f41gf0?...

Day 142 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is a chillwave track by Mister Mockwell (aka Kaelin Ellis) from Jedi: Survivor, "Sublime Raid II". Listen and drift into the stars. youtu.be/0NCU5U-lmAI?...

We zip back in time to the Old Republic once again for some peppy yet chill Sonny Rollins-style jizz from @petermcconnell.bsky.social. Enjoy "Spice Is Nice" for day 141 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. (Don't do drugs, kids.) youtu.be/LEWkzwrx_yg?...

On day 140 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we visit Aklyrr Bend in the High Republic, where an Ardennian keyboardist plays some pretty mellow tunes for a bar that's been taken over by pirates. This cue is split by the arrival of the young Jedi.

More 8-bit video game music is in the rotation for day 139 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. "Game Start / Game Play" from the 10th episode of "Resistance" is a repetitive but catchy tune from Michael Tavera. Watch out for that exogorth!

We've gotten a few upbeat versions of the Imperial March in Star Wars; this one, from the Empire Day celebrations in "LEGO Summer Vacation", is called "Sousa Imperial March", after John Philip Sousa. It's day 138 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, and comes with a bonus Wilhelm scream.

We're heading to Batuu in the time of the Old Republic for day 137 of #TheDiegeticShuffle! Ozon Nimbee is pitching his plan to revitalize Black Spire Outpost by cutting down the spires…and he does it with the help of backing music by Matthew Margeson.

The more I watch it, the less I'm sure our selection for day 136 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is actually diegetic, but it's a bop: "Tourists Don't Run" by Nicholas Britell from episode 7 of season 1 of Andor. Is it meant to be beach music, or soundtrack?

Stopping by Oga's Cantina to listen to "Oola Shuka" by Gaya on day 135 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, a sassy pop tune. It's the only Gaya song currently in rotation anywhere, and it's both written and performed by Grammy winner Judith Hill. youtu.be/A9Vfa3r2O-o?...

For day 134 of #TheDiegeticShuffle D-0 finds some clearly public domain music in his databanks and plays it for Poe's Life Day party. "Let the Party Begin A (Source)" is by Adam Dib from the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special.

"Skip Tracer" is another classic Old Republic jukebox tune for day 133 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, this time by @jaredej.bsky.social. To me it sounds like the music behind a half-spoken vocal by Roger Waters or Leonard Cohen. (Excerpted due to length limitations.)

We visit Cid's Casino for the first time on day 132 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. The music playing in the background, by Deana Kiner (@kinermusic.bsky.social), is appropriately called "Cid's Casino", and we heard it in episode 5 of "The Bad Batch". It has a dark dreamcore kind of vibe.

For day 131 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we have the only Star Wars music performed by a Wilford Brimley character: the "Endor Jig" from "Ewoks: The Battle for Endor". Noa (recorder), Teek (flute thingie), and Wicket (percussion) bond for the first time over their shared love of music.

Get down and strut with an "Average Brown Wookiee" on day 130 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. This piece of keyboard funk from the Old Republic is by @petermcconnell.bsky.social, and the title is a riff on the Average White Band, a 1970s Scottish funk group. youtu.be/RXHZDf0rY5M?...

The great Denis Lawson (as Wedge) does a guest v/o for day 129 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, the Hanna City Flight Academy ad from Aardman's "I Am Your Mother" episode of Visions season 2, which is sadly interrupted by a scavenging Jawa.

We're 128 days into #TheDiegeticShuffle and paying tribute to the opening number of "Temple of Doom" with "Daa Hutt Muna" (That Hutt Love) from the Clone Wars episode "Hunt for Ziro", sung by Sy Snootles (Nika Futterman) and written by the prolific Kevin Kiner.

"Sugaan Essena" from Jedi: Fallen Order means "The Black Thunder" in the language the HU created for the song, and in 2019 it really kicked off the modern trend of going big for the diegetic music in Star Wars video games. youtu.be/YwutOqv4cGo?...

"What do you get when you have an R-unit singing in a song? Well, a chart-topping song like Goola Bukee of course. Time for some droid power!" —DJ R3X Day 126 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is "Goola Bukee" (Bad Boy). Zano sings in Huttese and YS-5755 in binary. youtu.be/o6Jsx6KD_n4?...

It was Jude Law's idea to have Jod sing "The Ballad of Tak Rennod" (my title for it) instead of just reading the lines. It's an eerie and effective scene, one of the rare examples of Star Wars production audio being used as source music…and it's day 125 of #TheDiegeticShuffle.

124 days into #TheDiegeticShuffle and it's "Madness in Mos Eisley"! This is another jukebox track from @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social's Outlaws soundtrack. (Outlaws is available on the Switch 2 as of today, so I'll finally get to play it!) youtu.be/DuxnhvBnFGY?...

We're still in an Old Republic cantina for day 123 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. "Twice Around the System (And Home Again)" is a more refined jizz number by @petermcconnell.bsky.social, which I imagine being played by alien musicians in white tuxedos, 1920s-style. youtu.be/yhqQT6sA9Ck?...

Serving up some toe-tapping jizz from the Old Republic for day 122 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. It's "My Ol' TIbanna Man" by @petermcconnell.bsky.social. Tibanna gas is what they were mining on Cloud City; it was used in blasters and other applications. youtu.be/7J1zs4WExfw

For day 121 of #TheDiegeticShuffle you'll have to use your imaginations, because I have found zero (0) recordings of Sandro Alimander's welcome song for Gaya, which he wrote with the passengers of each voyage to celebrate the Twi'lek diva's arrival on the Halcyon.

This little guy (available at Batuu West) has re-canonized the audio for “Lapti Nek”, which was removed with the release of the Special Editions in 1997. (The title was already canon, mentioned in “From a Certain Point of View” and elsewhere, but now the audio is too.)

For day 120 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we've got "Beep Boop Bop" by the Duro Droids, a vocodered pop boogie in an unidentified alien language. You can hear it spun by R3X at Oga's Cantina. youtu.be/nt9UL2UwFtU?...

Further data-mining at GEMA has turned up seven previously unknown Galactic Starcruiser tracks. I have no idea what they sounded like, but they were written by folks who wrote for Oga's and/or the Starcruiser. (You may want to sit down for these titles.)

We're listening to the soundtrack to Torra Doza's new Drone-Blaster game on day 119 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. It's by Michael Tavera, the cue is called "Game Source", and if it's not inspired by the original Tetris soundtrack I'll eat my hat.

Docking Bay 7 tracks: Marketplace* Marketplace Hora* Mischievous* Android Assembly† Dark Caravan† Errant Bazaar† Quicksand† Robotworks† Tribal Dance† Bansuri Space Jig Blown Glass Ceremony Drone Workshop Line in the Sand Mixed Meter Machine Native Gathering Shady Deal Tiki Bobo

Looking through cue sheets for TV shows is frustrating, because many episodes don't have cue sheets, and there are tantalizing cues that aren't attached to episodes. "Star Strummers Warm Up" from Young Jedi Adventures? Who're the Star Strummers? Will they be in season 3?

Today is the sixth anniversary of Galaxy's Edge, so let's pop into Oga's Cantina for a Fuzzy Tauntaun and listen to "Doshka" by Mus Kat & Nalpak (Tamir Muskat and Ori Kaplan), which mixes a Bollywood-style refrain with video game noises and alien vocals. youtu.be/mH3gdMuVmV0?...

Day 117 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: Joseph Shirley's "Coruscant Street Fair" from season 3 of The Mandalorian features two cues: a cheerful calliope tune that segues into a carnival-style remix of John Williams' "March of the Resistance". I always enjoy score becoming diegetic!

If you visit Maz's Castle in Battlefront II, you might hear "Ma Kapar", a peppy but aggressive Huttese jazz-calypso hybrid that would not sound out of place the mouth of Buster Poindexter. Ahahaha. Ohohoho. It's day 116 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/LajXdTS2pCk?...

For day 115 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we travel back in time to Tenoo during the High Republic, where Feb Rozo and the Sap Tap Trio are playing some light electronic funk for a friendly game of space darts between the young Jedi. Credited to Matthew Margeson.

Phil Tippett and Richard Marquand on the design of Sy Snootles. (From Rinzler’s “Making of RotJ”.)

Ooo se-bata thor ram che! Day 114 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is probably not a musical cue at all; most likely it was part of the script and recorded during dialogue sessions. It's the Aleena ceremonial chant from season 4 of the Clone Wars, *probably* by scriptwriter Bonnie Mark.

"The Prowl" is a jukebox selection by the Ice Brethren in Outlaws, which means it's by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social. It's aptly-named, a darkly sinuous blend of electric guitar, throat singing, and xiao flute, and it's day 113 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/EKuSqer_ewY?...

"Stargate Swing" is a bouncy number by Lucky Ferrariss from the Galactic Starcruiser. I don't know what context it appeared in, but it's very easy to imagine it being performed by Phil Tippett-designed Muppety aliens. It's day 112 of #TheDiegeticShuffle youtu.be/oviLz7nEqy8?...

It's three cues for the price of one for day 111 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: in the premiere of Andor, Cassian walks past three Amsterdam-style sex worker windows, and the mood music each has chosen leaks through their bubble as he passes. Credited to Nicholas Britell.

Enjoy some unobtrusive light jazz, the background music to Vranki the Blue's casino, for day 110 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. "Club Source" from Resistance was composed by Michael Tavera, and is a rare example of a source cue with a source cue (the game cabinet noises) on top of it.

"My Speeder Will Find You" by the Jungle Hoppers blends Spanish instrumentation with Middle Eastern scales and didgeridoo to form a driving and ominous track. It's another @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social Outlaws composition, and it's day 109 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/fEX9SoUH6UQ?...

Max, Max, it’s your cousin. Your cousin Marvin. Marvin Rebo! You know that new sound you're lookin’ for? Well listen to this!

The closest we come to classic jizz (with, non-classically, the addition of a mouth harp) on the Outlaws soundtrack is the toe-tappin' "Growing Old in Wayfar" by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social, our selection for day 108 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/gLaMfb_Af7U?...

We've got another oldie but goodie from the South Sector Boppers for you on day 107 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: "Kayfoundo Naweea" means "Hungry Eyes" in Huttese, and no it's not an Eric Carmen cover but another Cabaret-style song from @petermcconnell.bsky.social. youtu.be/SORzg95CGcA?...

We're drawing again from the deep well of @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social's Outlaws compositions for day 106 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: "Climb the Mountain" by the Drasa Sisters sounds to me like a riff on "Journey of the Sorceror" as filtered through Chinese instrumentation. youtu.be/1zVKxNSj8KM?...

As DJ R3X tells us in his lead-in, our selection for day 105 of #TheDiegeticShuffle was banned in seven systems for inciting droid uprisings: it's "Droid World" by Sentient 7 and the Clankers, from their album "Listen Up, Meatbags." youtu.be/xYF91CJbPVg?...

Just a little snippet of music for day 104 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: a few seconds of shopping Muzak by @adamdib.bsky.social from LEGO Star Wars: Terrifying Tales called "Empire Emporium Source." It may sound insignificant, but every cue represents an artist's work and creativity.

Kevin and Deana Kiner called on @illuminatihotties.bsky.social's frontperson Sarah Tudzin to go "full gremlin mode" (as she put it) for Sabine's introduction in the first episode of Ahsoka. Day 103 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is the infectious punk rocker "Igyah Kah". youtu.be/xCMdsoOw7rM?...

Day 102 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is also our last day in Amsterdam—I’m posting from Schiphol Airport and thinking about flying to Galaxy’s Edge to hear “Robotworks” by Harlan Hodges and Randy Kerber, a shadowy tune played on resonant metal. Enjoy an excerpt from Hodges’ website.

Day 101 of #TheDiegeticShuffle: there's a soft, welcoming tune playing in the lobby of the Halcyon (RIP) when Finn and friends visit it during LEGO Star Wars: Summer Vacation. It's by Roberto Prado and it's called "Halcyon Source."

We’ve been doing #TheDiegeticShuffle for 100 days! Today we’re once again back in the Old Republic with a sedate but sly big band number from @stevekirkpop.bsky.social: “Let Go My Lekku”. (Lekku are the head-tails on Twi’leks and some other species.) youtu.be/ZqYt85PqWbA?...
