Speakin' o spaghetti ...Western that is....

Ennio Morricone, the highly respected and influencial Italian film composer will celebrate his 80th birthday this Monday, November 10. The award winning “Maestro” who has written distinctive film scores for such films as Once Upon A Time In The West, The Good The Bad & The Ugly, Duck You Sucker, The Thing, The Mission and many others. He will soon be able to boast of another milestone - a week long tribute by LuxuriaMusic.com - arguably the world wide web's best radio station.

From Saturday November 8 to Saturday November 15, LuxuriaMusic will pay tribute to Morricone by adding mucho Morricone to the stations playlist rotation. In addition, many of LuxuriaMusic’s DJ’s will either be paying tribute by either playing brief sets or entire shows featuring music from Morricone’s extensive body of work.

Here’s a guide to some of the shows on LuxuriaMusic that will be airing Morricone tributes :

Saturday November 8, 11 AM - Noon*: Thrifting For Tunes Morricone Special #1. (To be repeated on Monday November 10 at 11 AM).

Sunday, November 9 from 2 - 4 PM*: Switched On Audrey will play selections from her all-time favorite Mondo Mod Morricone score, Danger Diabolik.

Tuesday, 6 - 9 PM*, fellow film composer and Nov 10 b-day boy, Ron Sures will devote a full three hours to Morricone. After that, tune into Howie Pyro’s show, Intoxica, for more mondo Morricone madness!

Wednesday, November 12, 6-7 PM*, Angel Baby and Doctor Nod get “Between The Sheets” with Ennio.

Friday, November 15, from 5 - 7 PM, On the KAOS-A-GO GO Show, Agent Kari will bust out some of the grooviest and most MOD Morricone dancefloor tracks. Get ready to shake your hips and move your feet!

Saturday November 15, 11 AM - Noon* - Thrifting For Tunes Morricone Special #2.

Saturday November 15, Noon - 1 PM - EasItaly Morricone Special.

*All times are Pacific Standard Time.

The entire staff of LuxuriaMusic.com would like to wish Mr. Morricone a very happy 80th Birthday.

That's probably my favorite Morricone score as well. Unfortunately the soundtrack was never released on an album at the time (1968) and then later the master tapes got destroyed in a garage fire. However, there's a bootleg CD which has the score lifted directly from the movie but understandably the sound quality and production values are suffering. Better than nothing though.

The movie is really great too.

thank also Chongolio, who used to do the Coconut wired podcast as I saw his post about it on Tiki Central.
I just copied and pasted.

Thanks for the info.

A tidbit about Morricone. He collaborated with Chet Baker on some numbers, which you can hear on the album Chet's Back! You would think it would be a terrific match, but the tunes are actually kinda vanilla and mediocre. Doh!

The Spaghetti Western stuff is tops however!

Enjoy every minute

an interesting tid bit about Morricone,
he actually does not like the Spaghetti Western stuff he did.
called it simple and throw away music.

funny huh?

Sometimes ( most of the time I think) simple is better -

"You can't tell where you're going if you don't know where you've been"

I've also heard he hates the Diabolik score I wrote about above. Sad but not really surprising.
