By syncing '1, 2, 3, 4!' with 'Lights, Camera, Action!,' Donnelly offers an illuminating recontextualization of cinema’s pop aspirations and pop imagination - from the classics to the curate’s eggs. <i>Magical Musical Tour</i> is one of the precious few studies to venture out into that contested interzone of vinyl and celluloid, and film criticism and liner notes, and across paralleled galaxies of star systems. Donnelly mediates deftly between the projected visualities of pop music soundscapes, and the bootleg mixtapes embedded in feature films.

The relationship between music and film has been an emerging field of study in recent decades. In <i>Magical Musical Tour</i>, K.J. Donnelly expands the niche that focuses on rock-influenced popular music in film, and the subsequent musical outgrowths of that style such as hip hop and rap. Scoring eclecticism was spawned in the 1950’s and 60’s and has its roots partially from the increased use of popular music in film. The 1970’s and 80’s were witness to the increasing transmutation of rock and pop musicians as films composers that continues to this day. Donnelly examines how pop and rock scores not only enhanced and replaced traditional scoring, but generated their own genre of film, the rock documentary. With <i>Magical Musical Tour</i>, Donnelly provides academics and enthusiasts alike an in-depth discussion exclusively dedicated to the contributions that rock and popular music bring to the evolution of film-scoring.
