0:02:35 (Pop-up)
David Amram  Satyricon   Favoriting Amarcord Nino Rota  Hannibal  1981  From one of Hal Willner’s earliest album projects, assembling tracks by diverse artists covering classic compositions. Here, the uncategorizable great David Amram (on guitar, claves, penny whistle, shehnai, double ocarina) redresses a Nino Rota score for director Federico Fellini's Satyricon.  0:06:05 (Pop-up)
Stomu Yamash'ta  Mandala   Favoriting The Man Who Fell To Earth Soundtrack  Island Records  2016  From director Nicolas Roeg’s 1976 film featuring David Bowie, but the director hired John Phillips of The Mamas & the Papas as music coordinator. Other odd complications held the soundtrack from public release until 2016.  0:11:32 (Pop-up)
Ramin Djawadi  Game of Thrones Main Title (Extended)   Favoriting Game of Thrones Soundtrack  HBO  2011  Dungeons and dragons, very addictive.

Henry Mancini  Wait Until Dark Suite   Favoriting Wait Until Dark Soundtrack  Silver Age Classics  2007  From the 1967 thriller directed by Terence Young starring Audrey Hepburn and Alan Arkin. Notable for use of two synchronized pianos tuned slightly off from each other. Unreleased for decades, the soundtrack was considered dark enough to harm Mancini’s lovey dovey reputation.  0:34:45 (Pop-up)
Philippe Sarde  Le Locataire (The Tenant) Suite   Favoriting Le Locataire - Soundtrack  Quartet Records  2000  From Roman Polanski’s 1976 study in paranoia, the film stars the (admired and despised) director along with Isabelle Adjani, Melvyn Douglas, and Shelley Winters. The soundtrack tapes were lost for decades and found in Paramount’s vaults.  0:48:59 (Pop-up)
 
John Zorn  Godard   Favoriting Godard / Spillane  Tzadik  1999  The composer's homage to crime novelist Mickey Spillane. Recorded June 1986, originally released on NATO records.

Hi David, I grew up walking distance from two drive-in theaters. Lots of memories of the big movies in the '60's seen through the windshield of a Chevy Bel Air. Later, I would ride my bike in the exit, and sit by the back fence until I was kicked out by the drive-in police.

At The Vineland Drive-In. which is still in operation, there was a Southern Pacific switching yard behind it. We would climb on top of box cars and sit on the cat walk to watch the show, which was ultimately unsatisfying because there was a large stand of eucalyptus trees blocking our view. Plus there was no sound. Soon enough, we would climb down and sneak in - then get kicked out.

I working on a TV commercial at Universal studios. One task I had to do was put curtains in the widows of the Psycho house. It was really filthy and hot inside as I was climbing around on the beds dressing in the drapery. There was a big anvil case sitting in the dirt with a tape loop inside that would go off every time a tour tram would go by and play the music from the shower scene where Janet Leigh is getting stabbed and the blood is going down the drain. I couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Morning matinee show. Sorta quiet amongst the empty seats. Interesting how Martin's Pepperland suite has virtually no reference to any of the Beatles tunes. And am compelled to note that I previously was surprised at some hostile reactions to singing of Nancy Sinatra. The opening tune helps me better understand it and better appreciate how Lee Hazlewood crafted productions for her.
