Joy Division - Love Will Tear Us Apart [OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO] YouTube video by Joy Division

Some say it's the Star Wars version of Joy Division's "Love Will Tear Us Apart". Give it a listen and let us know if you agree. youtu.be/zuuObGsB0No?...

Cafe Coruscant YouTube video by Kevin Kiner - Topic

Fortunately for us, it got a clean release on the final season soundtrack: youtu.be/sDyF1XrAxAw?...

On day 353 of #TheDiegeticShuffle we're sitting in a café on Coruscant listening to some Star Wars darkwave from Deana Kiner. "Cafe Coruscant" appeared in the seventh season of the Clone Wars, and has very moody vocals in an unknown language.

(Bluesky is not letting me upload video at the moment, so today's Diegetic Shuffle is delayed.)

On day 352 of #TheDiegeticShuffle they're playing ominous trance music in 79's, a clone bar on Coruscant. This unreleased Deana Kiner composition, "Club Mix", is from the season 6 Clone Wars episode "Orders".

Just added two new source cues to the spreadsheet from episode 6 of Maul: Shadow Lord: "casino source" and "Rheena Sul apartment source 2" (my titles, not official).

Cut The Phobium - The Music of STAR WARS: The Old Republic YouTube video by swtheoldrepublic

Phobium was a metal alloy used in power cells. "Cut the phobium" was an expression meaning "cut the crap". And "Cut the Phobium" was a slinkily comic jizz piece by @stevekirkpop.bsky.social for the Old Republic. It's our selection for day 351 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. youtu.be/aQoEQm0mn7c?...

Thanks to @cavan.bsky.social. the Jindas have found their way into canon—some (presumably beautiful) Jinda dancers were present on an ill-fated ship heading to the Republic Fair in the High Republic novel "The Rising Storm".

Any day the Jindas come to visit is a good day—and day 350 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is no exception! The Traveling Jindas (stranded offworlders) were introduced in episode 5 of Ewoks, and this tune by Patricia Cullen, David Greene, and David Shaw was the soundtrack for their show.

Very cool!

Coaxium YouTube video by Gaya - Topic

We're spinning my favorite Gaya track on day 349 of #TheDiegeticShuffle. "Coaxium" gives us Judith Hill as Gaya on the Halcyon channeling "Freeway of Love"-era Aretha, and it may be the most toe-tapping Star Wars diegetic music has ever been. youtu.be/PHaoH-18A_g?...

It's day 348 of #TheDiegeticShuffle, and it's never too late to fall in astral love.

Billi B and the Paradise Gang are a deep Expanded Universe cut from a 1996 Angela Phillips story ("Slaying Dragons"), and they sound like they're having a blast. Of course it's really the versatile @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social once again. The album art features the title and artist in Huttese.

Astral Love YouTube video by Cody Matthew Johnson - Topic

"Astral Love" by Billi B and the Paradise Gang sounds like a raucous, exuberant street band, maybe with some Greek influence by way of Yolanda Be Cool and D-CUP. As soon as you've got a handle on one instrument, another gallops off in a new direction. youtu.be/sYVqkw4vQBw?...

🎵I am crazy
I am bad
I am mighty
I am incredible
My friend!🎵

R-3X says it's one of Oga's favorites, a celebration song from Takodana, where it's usually heard at dusk. In our galaxy it's by Roger Butterley and Dan Fontana, who also wrote "Yocola Ateema", "Moulee Rah", and "Huttuk Cheeka".

Ma Pateesa YouTube video by Release - Topic

Dobra inkabunga! Mix me up a Bespin fizz because we're back in Oga's Cantina, where R-3X is playing "Ma Pateesa", a Huttese calypso song by the Sleemos (where's Fytee? Did they break up?), consisting mostly of drunken boasting to "ma pateesa" (my friend). youtu.be/nmw8TP7PcgI?...

Day 346 of #TheDiegeticShuffle is a shopping day! Deana Kiner wrote "Market Source" for the Bad Batch episode "Cornered"—just a few seconds of aggressive percussion, strings, and (I think) glockenspiel to set a tone of frenetic activity.

That's brilliant. As a player of reels and jigs for Scottish country dancing, I'm glad some Celtic-influenced music made it into Star Wars. I think the only other is in a Last Jedi deleted scene.

I'll need to see if I can sneak Ton'yy Rho's Uglehop into a set.

I designed the Vapor Room as an Ugnaught bar knew it needed some kind of "cantina band" music. I found a West End Games reference to "Uglejig" music and stumbled upon "Tony Rowe's Jig," an alternate title for (Brendan) "Tonra's Jig." @jesseharl.in was taken with inspiration and wrote the new jig 1/2

Fun fact: the didjeridoo was recycled from an unused piece of the didjeridoo recording sessions I did for SW: Republic Commando.

Ha! Nothing is gone forever in Star Wars.

The piece is named after @bagelpriest.bsky.social because he’s the one who requested the piece. He told me that he was building an ugnaut bar and that he’d found some lore in (I think) a West Ens Games trrpg supplement that mentioned “uglejig” and could I please make it a reality.

That’s amazing. And it worked out, time signature-wise! (“Uglereel” is too hard to say.)

Star Wars The Force Unleashed OST - Ton'yy Rho's Uglehop YouTube video by jediking12

It was composed by @jesseharl.in for The Force Unleashed. "Ton'yy Rho" is named after Tony A. Rowe (@bagelpriest.bsky.social), game designer and writer for LucasArts, video game historian, and Drexel professor.

It's Ugnaught craic on day 345 of #TheDiegeticShuffle.

youtu.be/K7fK--LodOY?...

In the Vapor Room on Cloud City, an Ugnaught bar, you can hear "Ton'yy Rho's Uglehop", an uglehop (as opposed to an uglejig) by Ugnaught composer Ton'yy Rho. It's basically an Irish reel (reels are 4/4, jigs usually 6/8) with (I think) recorder, guitar, sitar, and didgeridoo.

A card saying -2 and THE QUEEN in Aurebesh, with a purple triangle symbol framed by two purple tusklike shapes

It's really by @codymatthewjohnson.bsky.social, and could have come straight off a 70s prog rock album, with hammered dulcimer, flute, heavy reverb, and a funky beat. The album art just says SIREN, so it's probably a compilation.

We're playing pure sabacc on day 344 of #TheDiegeticShuffle.

Queen of Air and Darkness YouTube video by Cody Matthew Johnson - Topic

The Queen of Air and Darkness is a face card in Sabacc, with a value of -2. It's also a title given to Morgause in Arthurian mythology, and (for our purposes) a song by Little Rocks Big Sound (an evocative band name!) from Outlaws. youtu.be/sKjFrzd60QU?...

Thank you!

Audiobooks and the radio dramas are still on my list to investigate! That's a great find, and I'm pretty sure it's a unique creation for the audiobook. Hey @djolder.bsky.social, do you happen to know who did the music for the Last Shot audiobook?
