For theWestworldfan who needs something to obsess over while the second season takes its sweet time coming together, there’s this “milk white” LP soundtrack of music from the show’s first ten episodes. In addition to the main theme, this album also features the modern pop and rock songs composerRamin Djawadire-arranged as old-timey piano tunes. This edition will cost you $25 and it’s aThinkGeek exclusive. They describe it as follows:
Here’s an interestingWestworldthought that we discussed at the ThinkGeek World Domination HQ holiday lunch (we set aside a Westworld spoilers table): the player piano was one of the first robots welcomed into the home. It lived in the parlor and entertained your guests. Nolan has talked about how the player piano was an automaton designed to evoke an emotion but not how normalized it was at a time when automation like electronic washing machines were just coming onto the market.
Ironically, part of the decline of the player piano was because of improvement in the quality of phonograph recordings. And here we have a modern recording of some of the more memorable music transcribed for the player piano from HBO’sWestworld. Composed or arranged by Ramin Djawadi, the songs on this LP will help tide you over while the park is shut down until 2018. It includes favorite versions of songs from Soundgarden, The Cure, Radiohead, Amy Winehouse, and Nine Inch Nails, among others. We had the option of getting it in black, white, Dolores blue, or blood red. We went with the one we felt was most iconic. This white version, evocative of the opening credits, is our ThinkGeek exclusive.
For theStar Warsfan who wants to remain warm and cozy at night, there’s this bed comforter, which features a detailed look at the Millennium Falcon:
Forget hyperdrive, you’ll be hitting hypersleep under this cozy full/queen comforter fromStar Wars. The white and grey comforter features a large image of the Millennium Falcon on one side and an allover print of different ships and fighters on the other. Add in two standard pillow shams with images of TIE fighters and you’re ready for your battle with sleep.
It’s currently out of stock, but you shouldwatch this spaceif you want one.
