A Day in the Death of Donny B

I stumbled across this while searching the new public domain channel available via Roku. It might be hard to believe but the government paid for this film to be made in 1969. For an anti-drug film, it's surprisingly not-cheesy. It's shot documentary style, including footage of Donny B (the film's junkie namesake) going about his day, and interviews with friends and community members. The soundtrack, this looping, psychedelic lament is courtesy of Harry Holt.

Covers Week #7

I had picked out a different cover originally, but I'm gonna stick with the movie score covers for one more post to sneak in this absolute gem of a tune...latin jazz godfather Ray Baretto's take on the Bond theme for "Thunderball" - after all, who could say no to Senor Double-oh-Seven?

Covers Week #5

Today's installment is a doozy - an epic, slow-building film theme as translated by the Memphis legends Booker T. & the MGs. Their take on the theme from the 1968 Clint Eastwood vehicle (directed by Ted Post) "Hang 'Em High."



Now that we're five days into this little experiment, I just want to let you know that the cover theme is a bit of double entendre. Not only was it something I've been thinking about for awhile, but I've been on vacation for the last few days, making a conscious effort to be unplugged from the computer for a while, and so the covers have been covering for me...
