Tornano il prossimo 7 febbraio nei negozi con un album dal titolo ancora più 'cinematico'. Il terzo capitolo della discografia dei Calibro 35 si chiamerà infatti "Ogni riferimento a persone esistenti o a fatti realmente accaduti è puramente casuale", come il noto disclaimer imposto alle pellicole. Tornano dagli studi di Brooklyn - forti del loro sbarco hollywoodiano - dove hanno registrato le dieci tracce del disco che includono brani inediti e due cover: ancora un brano firmato da Ennio Morricone e una composizione di Piero Piccioni. Intanto, dalla [...]

Los Angeles producer/dj duo, Virtual Boy, are the subject of today's post. These guys make a really interesting breed of music. Sounds like 8-bit video games meets Harry Potter meets Womp Womp. I freaking dig it, might you? Hedgwig's Theme - Virtual Boy - Harry Potter theme mix - I have no words. This is amazing. Like watching Harry Potter on a mix of ecstasy and acid. Ridiculous. Ennio Morricone - The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly - Virtual Boy Remix [...]

Sound the trumpets and pass the barolo! Ennio Morricone continues to make music at 83! I been a fan of Ennio Morricone's for over 10 years. It all started with the blaring war cry from the beginning of the 1966 Burt Reynolds vehicle, Navajo Joe . And then I discovered the spaghetti western. But Morricone's meta extends beyond Leone, Eastwood and The Good, The Bad and The Ugly. Vinyl lovers will attest to his greatness. With the rise of vinyl sales and online dealers, Morricone's music can [...]

Ennio Morricone: Una Spiaggia a Mezzogiorno From the soundtrack to Vergogna Schifosi

All Tomorrow's Parties creator and festival promoter Barry Hogan has a penchant for making peoples' dreams come true. He's the best kind of record nerd: a guy who uses his utter infatuation with obscure sounds, thirst for strange backstories, and strong grasp on indie rock's expansive history to bring joy to like-minded audiophiles by the thousands. His All Tomorrow's Parties festivals have reunited loads of bands and created a vehicle for the live performances of dozens of cult records by acts nobody thought they'd ever hear from again, let alone see live. This [...]

Je reprends la série SODSII avec des producteurs inconnus au bataillon BF2D, mais loin d'être dénués de talent, c'est pourquoi vous allez devoir écouter tout ce qui se trouve ci-dessous. On commence gentiment avec un peu d'électro-swing qui me fait beaucoup penser à un producteur qui partageait ses productions sur eDonkey à l'époque, KnobZ avec son titre Django Tek en moins happy hardtek évidemment. Kiwistar vient de contrées assez proche de Paris avec une passion sans précédent pour l'électro-swing. [...]

I keep meaning to drop out of life for a few weeks and immerse myself in Ennio Morricone soundtracks. Actually, it'd take months (I think dude has done over 500 by now), and I'd likely emerge with the kind of intense look on my face that no sane person would want to approach. Short of that level of commitment, here's a beautiful Western theme from the master. I aim to have at least one major life event occur while this is playing. Ennio Morricone - Il Grande Silenzio (Restless)
Good weekend, everyone? The rapture didn't occur. Or did it. Maybe for us hell is just more of the same, you know? Although if this is hell I have to admit I love it. Friday night my friends and I hit up some area bars and got joyously intoxicated like a beautiful perfect little family [...]

Brian Burton may have cobbled together many an otherworldly recording, flittering between producing Albarn's Demon Days opus, redefining R'n'B with Gnarls Barkley, and roping in anyone and everyone from Wayne Coyne to Iggy Pop, Nina Persson to James Mercer on the seminal multimedia LP Dark Night Of The Soul, yet drawing up an Original Motion Picture Soundtrack to a non-existent motion picture, in the subterraneous catacombs where much of Morricone's finest work was eternalised, is quite conceivably the paragon of ambition. There's then the small matter of celebrated compositore italiano Daniele Luppi providing luscious orchestral backdrop, and [...]
"Music is a discipline, and a mistress of order and good manners, she makes the people milder...

The 1966 film The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly was a classic western that tells the story of three men who dangerously pursue information about the location of a buried treasure of coins. The three characters, including a young Clint Eastwood as Blondie ("The Good"), go through several different stages in their relationships with each other, always depending on how much they need the other person's help in ultimately finding the gold. The movie ends with the men in a three-way shootout, leaving one dead, and another left behind hanging by his neck. Sadly enough, the plot [...]

"The long-anticipated brainchild of producer-composer Danger Mouse and Italian composer Daniele Luppi , Rome benefits from a bit of context. More than five years in the making, the project assembles many of the surviving performers of classic '60s and '70s Ennio Morricone scores -- and, in half a dozen memorable cases, pairs them up with the vocals of Norah Jones or The White Stripes' Jack White ."

![[Introducing] – The Lonely Wild](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/3427444_lg.jpg)
Tweet I think there's something particularly special about music that's really evocative of a time or place. It's why I never grow tired of Guillemots ' "Through The Windowpane" - every time I listen I actually feel like I'm on a train to Brazil, and end up heartbroken in São Paulo. Pretty epic. The Lonely Wild have just the same touch, only in their case it's the Old West they conjure up. Formed by Andrew Carroll and Ryan Ross from the ashes of [...]
At least one man - maybe scores of men - once said that music is not your friend in the immediate aftermath of a negative life-changing event. I don't know who said that (Thomas Hobbes? Kierkegaard? Sirhan Sirhan?) but he made a good point. Pretty much every song ever penned was done so to remind [...]

If Sergio Leone wanted to hire a 60's revivalist garage punk band to reinterpret one of Ennio Morricone's many epic scores for an upcoming modern spaghetti western film, then Michigan's The People's Temple would be the band to go with. "Sons of Stone" boasts the desert grit Once Upon a Time in the West flourishes with but under a psychedelic overcast. Its repeating guitar riff battles the tracks appropriately melodramatic lyrics. If a band names themselves after a cult victim to mass suicide, you can expect some pretty grim words. Leone should tell them, "The West does not [...]
In May 2009, three fresh-faced teenagers, Piero Barone (17), Ignazio Boschetto (16), and Gianluca Ginoble (16), appeared on the popular Italian talent show "Ti Lascio Una Canzone" and dazzled television viewers with their flawless rendition of the Neapolitan standard "O Sole Mio." The boys, who won the competition easily, decided their group needed a name. "Il Volo," meaning "flight," was chosen to signify the feeling that these three young tenors were about to spread their wings and fly. It wasn't long before IL VOLO's managers — Michele Torpedine (who has [...]
