Holiday Music Fare

[Dave Monroe]

... well, Faust isn't quite my thing, get as far as Neu! and that's about it
for me, but my lousy brother's on his own now as far as that box set goes, just
dropped by the house while I was out, grabbed his presents, and split.  These
kids today ...

... but if it's Ennio Morricone ye be wantin', there IS a 10 CD box set
available.  An excellent--and cheap--source for all things EM, not to mention
those groovy Italian sdtks. in general (Piero Piciolini, Piero Umiliani, Goblin
[think Dario Argento], et al.), is Dusty Groove America, outta Chicago:
http://www.dustygroove.com.  Funk, soul, soundtracks, samba, hip-hop, French
pop (my "speciality," as Mia Wallace/Raven McCoy says), e-z listenin', noise,
just plain wackiness (but never plain wack), vinyl and CD.  Got those Bruce Lee
and Jean-Luc Godard box sets.  And, no, this is NOT a paid promotion (though
mention my name and maybe they'll give me something anyway, who knows?) ...

But the one Morricone sdtk. I CAN'T find and desperately need is Danger:
Diabolik!  Not even excerpts.  Any hellp would be appreciated ...
