As far as life outside film music, there are other message boards out there. You should see the forum for Pogs. Place is NUTS.
Because this is a film music board, disagreements about things like cutesy track titles that cheapen the art when used excessively are kinda what we do here. You don't have to agree, obviously.

This kind of thing that would have been maddening back when you only got 30-35 minutes from most scores. Not knowing what the hell cues were included on the album because none of the titles had anything to do with the scenes they were from would have pissed off a lot of us way more.

And Andy Warhol took photographs of soup cans. Your point?
What's your point? Andy Warhol's soup can photographs were kind of a clever joke in and of themselves and were named accordingly, like Campbell's Soup Cans. Giacchino will write a serious piece of music and call it Killer In-Stinks.
But it's an interesting question, at least to me anyway. How much is the title of something a part of the art? Film composers don't have control over the title of a film, but they can usually come up with track titles, so perhaps this is just a way to put some of their own personality into the thing. Fair enough. It's their music. But it can give an odd impression when it's overloaded with obvious puns.
I think Giacchino's track titles do a wonderful job of reminding us that it is the music that should be taken seriously, not what the piece is named or what movie it came from, what the case is made out of, what pictures are in the booklet, or what random people in liner notes or message boards have to say about the subjectivity of art.
Clearly we're here about the music first and foremost, and I don't think anyone is saying that a title of something or liner notes or pictures or what other random people have to say is more important than that, but that doesn't mean these other things can't be part of the conversation. I mean, that's what we're here for, right? To talk about this stuff?
Speaking of the music, the live performance on the youtube video earlier in this topic sounded promising, especially the way it builds up there at the end. Looking forward to hearing it in better sound.
