The Way Podcast: 8/16; The Good, The Bad and the Ugly Mash-Up/Joe Strummer's "Walker"

In keeping with the theme of last week's show, this week I explore the ultimate Western soundtrack, Ennio Morricone's iconic score for Sergio Leone's The Good, The Bad and The Ugly but with a new twist. Instead of relying on the original theatrical trailers for dialogue to superimpose on to the music, I used the actual film for the source of all the dialogue and sound effects. I basically mixed the entire set live on the fly so there are some moments where there is some clashing audio, but I'm mostly pleased with the result. The mash-up took up about the first half-hour of the show and the rest of the show I played tracks from Joe Strummer's soundtrack for Alex Cox's '87 Neo-Western Walker. Strummer's soundtrack is rustic and melancholy and often very pretty, clearly influenced by Dylan's soundtrack for Peckinpah's Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid. The show is a bit different from what I've done in the past, but I hope you enjoy it nonetheless, it was a fun challenge for me.
