This month, as we get closer to spooky season, Lee has crafted a quick and dirty playlist revolving around vampire films from the 1970s. Greats like Dracula, Yorga, Barlow, Blacula, and several other lesser known blood suckers are featured. Lee talks less than usual on this one, so you the listener gets to the music faster! The Wolfman Lee Van Teeth is taking over next month for his annual Halloween show, so catch you all again in November.

Saturday Aug 31, 2024
Another busy month equals another TMBDOS! Grab Bag episode of Blood on the Tracks! That's where Lee does the very lazy thing of building this episode's playlist from tracks found on official episodes of the They Must Be Destroyed On Site! podcast, and does very little talking about the music, if any at all. This playlist covers soundtrack and score selections found in various episodes between 265 and 314. Enjoy!

Blood on the Tracks Episode 78: Squatch Sounds.
Wednesday Jul 31, 2024
Wednesday Jul 31, 2024
This month Lee takes a look at music from films about possibly the world's most famous cryptid, the Sasquatch - or as it/they are better known in pop and general culture: Bigfoot. There are just so many films, especially in the last thirty years or so, that the list is focused on the real peak period of interest, the 1970s and 1980s. Even then this list threatened to be much larger than it ended up being, but a lot of the music was impossible to source. Still, Lee feels this list is large enough to pay proper tribute to that mythical(?) hairy giant in the woods.

Smith--Popcorn from "Shriek of the Mutilated" (1974) --Hot Butter--Ballad of McCullough's Mountain from "Blood Beast of Monster Mountain" (1975) --Tim York--Exits and Truckstops from "Creature from Black Lake" (1976) --Jim McCullough Jr.--High in the Mountains & Bigfoot Theme from "Sasquatch" (1976) --Lane Caudell & Al Capps--Suite from "Snowbeast" (1977) --Robert Prince--What's it Take to be a Believer from "In the Shadow of Big Foot" (1977) --Phillip Malbrough--Main Title from "Return to Boggy Creek" (1977) --Darrell Deck--Yeti from "Yeti: Giant of the 20th Century" (1977) --Sante Maria Romitelli feat.

Tuesday Apr 30, 2024
Lee finally gets around to doing a follow-up to the very first episode of Blood on the Tracks: music from 1970s crime and thriller films. Lee was short for time this month, so that equals less talking from him and much more music. It's a win-win!

Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Sunday Mar 31, 2024
Lee is back this month with a mix of music selections from Italian action films from the 1980s. There's some superhero antics, some comedic slapstick action, late period poliziotteschi, and items that fall under the "macaroni combat" moniker. The list is both light and breezy, and in some cases, maybe a bit tight and sleazy. Enjoy!

Blood on the Tracks Episode 73: More Vanity Insanity.
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
Thursday Feb 29, 2024
Lee's back this month to cover more score/soundtrack selections from vanity projects. That's right - those special films made by special people with a special vision. Who cares if the films are actually good or not? These (mostly) outsider artists shot their shot, and in Lee's opinion, art is usually better for it.
--One Tin Soldier from "Billy Jack" (1971) --Coven--Main Title Theme from "Top of the Heap" (1972) --J.J. Johnson--Opening Theme Song from "The Bad Bunch" (1973) --Ed Cobb & Sheldon Lee--Theme from Solomon King from "Solomon King" (1974) --J.

This month Lee takes a look at selections from the scores from two notable 1970s Samurai exploitation film series, "Hanzo the Razor" & "Lone Wolf and Cub". Although a lot of traditional Japanese musical elements were used, more often than not, convention was thrown out the window. Fuzzed-out electric rock, jazz & funk all show up to spice-up these more Grindhouse-esque films, which are full of bloody violence, sex, and taboo subject matter.
--Goyoukiba's Theme & Main Title from "Hanzo the Razor: Sword of Justice" (1972) --Kunihiko Murai--Main Title & The Villain - Shoubei Heijima from "Hanzo the Razor: The Snare" (1973) --Isao Tomita --Main Theme from "Hanzo the Razor: Who's Got the Gold?" (1974) --Hideaki Sakurai--Goyoukiba 'Fang' Theme from "Hanzo the Razor: Who's Got the Gold?" (1974) --The Mops & Masaru Hoshi--Main Title from "Lone Wolf And Cub: Sword Of Vengeance" (1972) --Hideaki Sakurai--The Wolf Crosses the Ocean & Duel at the Dune from "Lone Wolf And Cub: Baby Cart At The River Styx" (1972) --Hideaki Sakurai--The Wolf Howls In The Wilds from "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades" (1972) --Hideaki Sakurai--Ending Theme Song from Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart to Hades" (1972) --Hiroshi Kamayatsu, vocals by Tomisaburo Wakayama--Main Title, Besieging Army Of Ura Yagyu & Ending from "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in Peril" (1972) --Hideaki Sakurai--Main Title, The Wolf's Cub, The Kuroda Menbo Army, The Running Wolf & Ending from "Lone Wolf and Cub: Baby Cart in the Land of Demons" (1973) --Hideaki Sakurai--Main Title from "Lone Wolf and Cub: White Heaven in Hell" (1974) --Kunihiko Murai--Lone Wolf's Theme from "Shogun Assassin" (1980) --Michael Lewis, Mark Lindsay & The Wonderland Philharmonic Orchestra

Thursday Nov 30, 2023

Thursday Sep 28, 2023
Thursday Sep 28, 2023

Blood on the Tracks Episode 68: Sex Comedies of the 1980s.
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Thursday Aug 31, 2023
Lee is back with the second part of his look at the soundtracks and scores of the sex comedy genre, focusing on the more lurid side of things. This time everything has gotten far bigger and far hornier as he moves into the 1980s. Much like with slasher films, and other assorted cinematic junk food, the sex comedy genre exploded in North America during this decade, getting far raunchier and problematic that it had previously been. Because of the exponentially larger amount of music to put on the playlist, Lee put out a poll to the listeners asking them if they wanted this split into two parts or if they wanted a super-sized summer blow-out. Apparently the listeners are all size queens, so enjoy this 3hr episode!
NOTE: Let Me Be the Knight from "The Big Bet" (1987) by Rob Tro is mentioned as being on the list in this episode, but unfortunately it got lost in the final edit, and Lee doesn't feel like fixing it and reuploading the episode at this point. Sorry.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 67: Sex Comedies of the 1970s.
Monday Jul 31, 2023
Monday Jul 31, 2023
Lee is back with part one of a two-part look at the soundtracks and scores of sex comedies, specifically those of the 1970s and 1980s, the raunchier the better! There was so much material to go through that he had to split each decade into its own super-sized episode of BotT, and even then he's barely scraping the surface. In part one we start off in the decade where the sex comedy really started to take off overseas at first: the 1970s! This was especially obvious in places like Great Britain and Italy, and this trend would seemingly influence North American sex comedies to push the envelope even further later in the decade, before they totally came to dominate in the 1980s.

Lee is back with his second part of his look at his favourite selections from the soundtracks and scores for the filmography of Quentin Tarantino, this time covering "Death Proof" to "Once Upon a Time in America".

Blood on the Tracks Episode 64: Quentin Tarantino Part 1.
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Sunday Apr 30, 2023
Regardless of if you like the work of Quentin Tarantino or not, it can not be denied that he curates killer soundtracks for his films. Much like how he borrows visually and thematically from the films of the past to create his own unique film architecture, he often layers in music from other films in other to do much the same. Sometimes the music is there just to accent a scene and make it cooler, sometimes it's a deeper meta reference. Sometimes it just doesn't work at all, but nobody always hits the target all the time. With the announcement that Tarantino is working on his (according to him) tenth and final film, "The Movie Critic", Lee decided it was time to look back at his body of work as it stands right now, and choose the tracks from his filmography that he loves best. Because there's so much to dig into, this will be part one of a two part series of super-sized episodes.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 63: The Vanity of it All.
Friday Mar 31, 2023
Friday Mar 31, 2023
Sometimes the cinematic vanity project (a film that is usually some combo of a single person writing, directing, producing and acting in a film) can be an artistic vision that's a masterpiece that stands the test of time. A good example would be Orson Welles' "Citizen Kane". Most times, however, vanity projects are created by total outsiders who have the money but no talent, but their drive and their delusions push the project through, for better or for worse. This time out Lee has put together a playlist covering some notable, and in some cases just unknown, vanity projects. This will no doubt be a thread picked up in future episodes, as there's a ton of these to cover.
--World's Greatest Sinner from "The World's Greatest Sinner" (1962) --Frank Zappa--Come on Feet from "Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song" (1971) --Melvin Van Peebles--Schlock Boogie from "Schlock" (1973) -- Ian Kranitz & Albin Konopka--Rage from "Stone" (1974) --Billy Green--I'll Be With You In Apple Blossom Time & Open Your Heart from "Massacre Mafia Style" (1974) --Duke Mitchell--Enuff is Enuff from "One Down, Two to Go" (1982) --Rodney Franklin--To Survive; Girl Crazy & Take it Off from "The Life and Loves of a Male Stripper" (1987) --Rafael Bethencort--Shimmy Slide from "Champagne and Bullets" (1993) --John De Hart--The Ninja from "New York Ninja" (2021) --Voyag3r

Lee has finally dipped back into the world of rejected film scores. Due to popular demand, he's also included short snippets of the scores that were actually used in the finished film before each selection. Sit back and listen to what could have been, and maybe learn a little bit about why things didn't quite pan out the way they could have.
