Blood on the Tracks Episode 14: TMBDOS! Grab Bag.

TMBDOS! Grab Bag. That's right, Lee got lazy this month and selected various tracks that have appeared on official episodes of TMBDOS! Actually, Lee just got swamped with real lif enonsense, so this was the best he could do on short notice. All said and done, he thinks this is a pretty solid playlist.

Lee is back with the third and final (for now) part of his list of selections from his favourite soundtracks/scores from Westerns. If you've guessed that there's a ton of Italian tracks in here, you'd be quite correct, but Lee still managed to sneak in a few North American entries he remembered.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 12: Favourite Westerns Part 2.

Lee is back with part 2 of his list of selections from his favourite western's soundtracks/scores. This time it's pretty much all Italian westerns. He had so much fun going down this rabbit hole that he's decided there will be a part 3 next month.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 11: Favourite Westerns Part 1.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 10: The Hammer Scores of James Bernard.

This time out on Blood on the Tracks Lee found himself busy and hurting for a topic before the month came to a close. He happened to be watching "Taste the Blood of Dracula" and a subject for the episode came to mind: the Hammer scores of James Bernard. At times his pieces were big and bombastic, at other times subtle and creepy, and even flowery and romantic, thus he envoked both power and foreboding meanace, as well as heart to the classic films he scored. Due to time constraints and sourcing issues, the majority of this playlist will feature mostly the main title tracks of these films and suites that Lee didn't have a complete track listings for.
Playlist:
--"The Quatermass Xperiment" (1955) --Excerpts from "X: The Unknown" (1956) --"Quatermass 2" (1957) --"The Curse of Frankenstein" (1957) --Main Titles and The Legend of the Hound from "The Hound of the Baskervilles" (1959) --Excerpts from "The Terror of the Tongs" (1961) --Excerpts from "These Are the Damned", including Black Leather Rock (1962) --"Kiss of the Vampire" (1963) --"The Gorgon" (1964) --"She" (1965) --"Frankenstein Created Woman" (1967) --"The Devil Rides Out" (1968) --"Taste the Blood of Dracula" (1970) --Finale and End Credits from "Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell" (1974) --"The Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires" (1974) --"The Horror of Dracula" (1958)
Opening and closing music: Downhill Decoy from "Danger Diabolik" by Ennio Morricone & Blonk Monster from "House by the Cemetery" by Walter Rizzati.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 9: It's Cold Outside.

The holiday season is here and it's getting bloody cold around these parts as winter finally sets in. At first Lee wanted to build a playlist around Christmas films, but he decided that was a bit too obvious and lame. After asking the TMBDOS! listeners what they wanted, he settled on movies set during the winter time that were not focused on the holidays. Although mostly focused on horror, there are some nice surprises here as well.
Playlist:
--Midnight, the Stars and You from "The Shining" (1980) -- Ray Noble and His Orchestra --Buster's Last Stand from "Misery" (1990) -- Marc Shaiman --Main Title from "Dreamcatcher" (2003) -- James Newton Howard --Pennsylvania Polka from "Groundhog Day" (1993) -- Frank Yankovic --The Bloody Fruits of Barrow from "30 Days of Night" (2007) -- Brian Reitzell --Giving Up from "Let the Right One In" (2008) -- Johan Söderqvist --Past, Present - Future? from "Runaway Train" (1985) -- Trevor Jones --Main Title & Mr. Otis/Charlie One Eye/Buffalo Rampage from "The White Buffalo" (1977) -- John Barry --Colqhoun's Story from "Ravenous" (1999) -- Damon Albarn & Michael Nyman --The Moon + A Change of Heart from "A Simple Plan" (1998) -- Danny Elfman --The Cemetery from "Batman Returns" (1992) -- Danny Elfman --Fargo, North Dakota from "Fargo" (1996) -- Carter Burwell --Humanity (Part 2) from "John Carpenter's The Thing" (1982) -- Ennio Morricone --Passaggi Nel Tempo from "The Great Silence" (1968) -- Ennio Morricone

Blood on the Tracks Episode 8: Poliziotteschi.

Lee is back to dig into one of his favourite film genres of all time, especially when it come to soundtracks and scores: the Italian crime/Poliziotteschi film genre. Ultra violence, lurid sex, and all sorts of musical styles abound from these films, and Lee tried hard to trim down the playlist to some of his all-time favourite tracks. So load up your guns and take the law into your own hands as society breaks down around you, in corruption and violence. Can you come out the other end clean? Who cares when the music is this great? Note: at one point Lee credits "Death Proof" instead of "Death Wish" as an influence on the genre, and, of course, he butchers Italian pronounciations left and right. But you expected that, right?
Playlist:
--Prelude from "Caliber 9" (1972) -- Luis Bacalov & Osanna --Montreal Non Stop from "Stateline Motel" (1973) -- Luis Bacalov --Citta Violenta from "Violent City" (1970) -- Ennio Morricone --Blue Song from "The Violent Professionals" (1973) -- Guido & Maurizio De Angelis --And Life Goes On from "The Violent Professionals" (1973) -- Guido & Maurizio De Angelis --Gangster Story from "High Crime" (1973) -- Guido & Maurizio De Angelis --Labirinto from "Tony Arzenta" (1973) -- Gianni Ferrio --Main Theme from "The Italian Connection" (1972) -- Armando Trovajoli --Main Theme from "The Great Kidnapping" (1973) -- Stelvio Cipriani --La Polizia Sta A Guardare Part 4 from "The Great Kidnapping" (1973) -- Stelvio Cipriani --La Polizia Ringrazia from "Execution Squad" (1972) -- Stelvio Cipriani --Un Ami from "Revolver" (1973) -- Ennio Morricone --Main Titles from "The Heroin Busters" (1977) -- Goblin --Goodbye My Friend from "Street Law" (1974) -- Guido & Maurizio De Angelis

Blood on the Tracks Episode 4: Italian Horror.

Episode four of Blood on the Tracks takes a trip overseas to explore the land of Gialli, cannibals, Mario Bava, and Hollywood rip-offs. That's right, it's the vast landscape of Italian horror cinema. Lee found himself down another rabbit hole this month, making some difficult decisions on what did and did not manage to make the cut for the show. Put on some black gloves and a trenchcoat, badly dub your voice, and try not to impale your eyeballs on sharp objects.

Blood on the Tracks Episode 3: Heavy Metal Horror.

It's the third episode of Blood on the Tracks, and this episode comes as a result of a poll Lee ran on the TMBDOS! Facebook page. The people voted for Heavy Metal Horror, so Lee went down a much deeper rabbit hole than he initially expected. Most of these tracks come from films that do feature heavy metal as part of the plot, but in some cases it's just films that are well-known for their metal soundtracks/scores. So make a devil sign; tell Gene Simmons to fuck off, because he doesn't own the rights to it; and come bang your head with Lee for an hour.
Note: Lee mentions that the film "Demons" (1985) contained a score from Claudio Simonetti using the Goblin name. This is an error: Simonetti is credited as himself for his work on that film.
