Show 38: At the movies

It's "Soundtrack Week" on LuxuriaMusic.com... and that means it's also Soundtrack Week here in the Mauna Loa Lounge, which is okay with me, since I really appreciate a good film score.

The reasoning behind Soundtrack Week is, of course, that it leads up to the 79th annual Academy Awards taking place on Sunday, February 25th.

So much to choose from... so many different styles and eras. I broke the set up into three sections...

The Academy has finally woken up and decided to award an Oscar to Ennio Morricone. I'm afraid they're going to somehow screw up the tribute they've put together (in fact, I heard that Celine Dion will be appearing to sing a song for the maestro). The next 3 songs are my mini-tribute to Morricone. Stuff I'm quite sure they won't play during the Oscar ceremony.


Song 4 : : Un esercito di cinque uomini
Artist : : Ennio Morricone
Album : : I Western/The Italian Western
From Un Esercito di cinque uomini



Song 5 : : Fruscio Di Foglie Verdi
Artist : : Trio Junior
Album : : Canto Morricone Vol.1 The 60s
From Teorema



Song 6 : : Ninna Nanna Per Adulti
Artist : : Ennio Morricone
Album : : Molto Mondo Morricone
From Vergogna Schifosi
