The Encyclopedia of Sound... the Grand Finale!!!

Submitted by JohnT on Fri, 12/17/2010 - 05:54

 

A tuneful termination, a cacophonous conclusion, a sweet-sounding cessation, a discordant denouement...


John T & Tothar's year-long "Encyclopedia of Sound" project finally comes to an end this Sunday, December 19... beginning at 6 pm pacific/9 pm eastern on Thrifting for Tunes, and continuing at 7 pm pacific/10 pm eastern on The Beyondophonic Action Hour... on luxuriamusic.com, of course!

Tune in for two solid hours of music, taking us through the letters W, X, Y, and Z (that's Zee in Tothar's case, Zed for John T!) in the Encyclopedia of Sound... from Wall of Voodoo and Hugo Winterhalter to Helmut Zacharias and The Zero Zero Seven Band... with plenty more musical madness in between!

A whole show of Italian pop singles from the 1960s... culled from over 5 hours of recently acquired material.

 
(If you enjoyed some of the Morricone-produced pop I've played on past shows, you're bound to eat this up!)
 
19 Italo-pop-tastic tunes by the likes of I Quelli, Catherine Spaak, Little Tony, I Dik Dik, I Giganti, Edoardo Vianello, and many more!

It's like lasagna for your ears!
