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.

ON LUXURIAMUSIC.COM

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ROBERT DRASNIN!
Robert Drasnin turns the big 8-0 on the 17th of November!

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.

Yup... we're moving the show into the kitchen this month while the Mauna Loa Lounge is being refurbished... No Mai Tais... but all the spaghetti you want!!!
And along with it, an hour's worth of Spaghetti Western soundtracks and Euro film scores, many featuring our artist of the month, Alessandro Alessandroni (http://www.alessandroni.com) and his Cantori Moderni.
So, why spaghetti? Well, I'm still all fired up after seeing a performance by The Spaghetti Western Orchestra (http://www.ennios.com/swo.htm) last week... so Euro western music it is!

So there... (back to our regularly scheduled programming next month).

APRIL IS BIRTHDAY MONTH IN THE MAUNA LOA LOUNGE...

So this month's entire show is a tribute to folks born in April... including a whole slew of artists who make music we love to play in the Lounge...
-a "kind-of exotica" set by exotica king Martin Denny
-a set of favorites in other musical styles we enjoy
-and a whole other set of exotica to close off the show

So, join us for a birthday cocktail, or two, or three...

Basil.

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,

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).

NEW THRIFTING FOR TUNES + DOWNLOADS!!!
This month's show is a little bit more guitar-oriented than our last couple of vibes-heavy shows... Plus, we've also got a couple of songs by our artist of the month, the Non-Tiki Tiki Tune of the Day, and a new cocktail creation, inspired by a Don the Beachcomber drink that dates back to the 1930s...

First airing on September 6 (repeat on September 20)
at 11 A.M. PACIFIC / 2 P.M. EASTERN
on http://WWW.LUXURIAMUSIC.COM

Did you know Luxuriamusic has a friendly and lively chat room? Why not stop in and say hi... Go to http://www.luxuriamusic.com and click on "Chat." It's that easy!


Also, for those who've been asking for it, you can now DOWNLOAD THRIFTING FOR TUNES, as well as all other LuxuriaMusic programs!!!

The system is not 100% perfect just yet though, so I should mention the following:
-Downloads can be found here: http://www.luxuriamusic.com/audio (there are several pages)
-Shows must be manually downloaded and imported into the player of your choice (e.g. iTunes) for the time being
-Shows' timeslots are automatically recorded — i.e. even if the show doesn't air that particular day — so, on rare occasions, what you download may not be exactly what you were expecting.

It's a work in progress... I'll keep you posted as soon as I know more...


And, don't forget
THRIFTING FOR TUNES CLASSICS
from the archives
on September 13 and 27, in my usual timeslot

These are one-hour compilations of my short-form Thrifting for Tunes shows from a couple of years back (which I don't think too many listeners had a chance to hear)...

Ennio Morricone Tribute Week on LuxuriaMusic

Ennio Morricone turns 80 on November 10th!

LuxuriaMusic's Morricone week kicks off with Thrifting for Tunes'
ENNIO MORRICONE SPECIAL - PART 1
November 8 at 11 am pacific / 2 pm eastern

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'
ENNIO MORRICONE SPECIAL - PART 2
November 15 at 11 am pacific / 2 pm eastern

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:
Part 1 will air at 4 am pacific / 7 am eastern
Part 2 will air at at 11 am pacific / 2 pm eastern

Several other LuxuriaMusic shows (and Luxotron) will be featuring Morricone all week, so be sure to tune in!
