THRIFTING FOR TUNES This month's show features a short roundup of tunes to celebrate a few of the recent and upcoming late summer/ early fall holidays. There's a couple of Halloween numbers, of course... And how about Columbus Day? Yeah we've got a couple for that... And we've even got something for the Feast of San Gennaro!!! But it's mostly about Halloween... including a whole set of Halloween-ish exotica and a Halloween "Cocktail of the Month" to close off the show. **LISTEN — CHAT — BUY SHAG-DESIGNED LUXURIAMUSIC T-SHIRTS — DONATE: PLAYLIST, ARTIST INFO , COCKTAILS: |

THRIFTING FOR TUNES COMES ONE WEEK EARLY IN NOVEMBER HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT DRASNIN! All you exotica fans are, of course, familiar with Robert Drasnin and his classic 1959-60 record Voodoo (and I hope you've all purchased his excellent follow-up, Voodoo II, released earlier this year). What better way to celebrate his birthday than with a whole hour of his music! We'll hear a whole slew of selections from Voodoo I and II, of course, as well as other exotica tracks featuring Drasnin's touch, a small sampling of his many TV scores, and some of his work with other artists... So much music that I didn't even have enough time to announce it all during the show... So you'll have to check out the TUNES! page at maitaionline.com for a complete playlist, album details, links to bios and other information.

Hey QuietVillage... thanks for listening! (but that wasn't me you were hearing 5 years ago... I've only been doing the show for a little over 2 years). As for downloading the show... sorry, that can't be done for the time being. It's a radio show, and it only airs in its usual timeslot. However, a downloading option is in the works and should be available soon on LuxuriaMusic.com's newly revamped website (I'll make sure to let everyone know when downloads are available). And hello too to basilh! Your music continues to get a spin on the show from time to time... John in Montreal [ Edited by: John in Montreal 2008-07-03 05:55 ] |

John, I tried to subscribe to Thrifting from Luxuria, then into iTunes. I right clicked on to "subscribe to podcast" in Luxuria and copied the shortcut into the "subscribe to podcast" feature under the Advanced tab in iTunes. The URL is http://www.luxuriamusic.com/station/archives/1830/feed. Like it is supposed to do, that created a podcast called "Archive of Thrifting for Tunes" in my iTunes podcast list. But then I got an exclaimation point that said "There are no playable episodes for "Archive of Thrifting for Tunes." The URL might point to text only episodes or contain file types that iTunes cannot play." Is there a glitch in the Luxuria system? Is there some way for me to subscribe to iTunes? Thanks |

Hi BBR, Yup, the glitch in the Luxuriamusic system is that podcasts are not quite up and running yet! They're coming though, we've been promised. The website was just recently overhauled and it should all come together soon... Thanks for trying to listen though! You can still listen to the show in its regular timeslot for the time being (Saturdays, 2 pm east/11 am west). John in Montreal [ Edited by: John in Montreal 2008-08-07 19:51 ] |

Ennio Morricone Tribute Week on LuxuriaMusic Ennio Morricone turns 80 on November 10th! LuxuriaMusic's Morricone week kicks off with Thrifting for Tunes' Due to the overwhelmingly positive response to the last all-you-can-eat spaghetti buffet, we're laying off the cocktails for the next two weeks and getting back in the kitchen for more pasta! Part 1 of the Morricone special focuses on the maestro's western scores... We'll be staying away from the more iconic Sergio Leone films for the most part, and exploring music from films by directors Sergio Corbucci, Damiano Damiani, Giulio Petroni, and more. Bringing Morricone week to a close will be Thrifting for Tunes' Part 2 features a few Morricone scores for French and Italian crime thrillers of the 60s and 70s, as well as his work as a pop composer/arranger for such artists as Mina, Rita Monico, and Luigi Tenco. Early risers: you can also listen to the two Morricone specials on the maestro's birthday, November 10: Several other LuxuriaMusic shows (and Luxotron) will be featuring Morricone all week, so be sure to tune in! Playlists, cocktails, artist info links, etc. can also be found on the TUNES! page at http://www.maitaionline.com (posted the day of the show). |
