Our friend and fellow-HOBBLEDEHOY Wayne Cresser contributes the latest installment from his terrific weekly radio program, Picture This

On this episode titled Spinning Plates II you’ll hear choice cuts from movie soundtracks from two of our favorite filmmakers, Wes Anderson and his equally brilliant non-relative Paul Thomas Anderson. There’s also music from classic TV cartoons and animated films from the big screen.

‘But wait, there’s more!’

About halfway through the show, you’ll hear Leonard Nimoy perform his Spock-inspired song “Highly Illogical.”

Listen to “Into the West” – music themes from classic Westerns

by

Our friend and fellow-hobbledehoy Wayne Cresser contributes the latest installment from his terrific weekly radio program, Picture This.

On this episode entitled “Into the West” you’ll hear themes from composers Ennio Morricone, Elmer Bernstein, Carter Burwell, Alexandre Desplat and other musical giants who wrote for the big screen and occasionally television, back when these required rabbit ears.

And – “not so fast, you sidewinder!” – there’s also some fine guitar pickin’ from Duane Eddy, Ry Cooder, and that cowpoke-turned-poet, Bob Dylan. For the complete playlist from this and other episodes, drop your six-shooter and proceed to Wayne’s blog Mischief Time
