This week we say a belated farewell to the famed and profoundly prolific film composer Ennio Morricone, then pivot into the usual sort of shenanigans.

Originally intended to air on July 13, my screw-up on the upload that prevented its planned airing allowed me to expand the Morricone tribute to the entire first hour of this episode, and I think it ended up better for it. Things work out okay sometimes, even if they’re frustrating at first.

Please forgive my attempts to pronounce the names of Italian films; I did my best.

Listen

The originally aired stream is no longer available.

An “unmixed” version is now available on Spotify. The KLF track “3 A.M. Eternal (1989 Break for Love Mix)” is unfortunately not in Spotify’s collection, so has been replaced with the original album version. Some interstitial tracks have also been removed.
