Ennio Morricone’s Birthday Bonanza Begins - Pitchfork

Celine Dion records a track of herself gargling cake in tribute
Today, November 10, is Ennio Morricone's 78th birthday, and to celebrate, the excellent Italian film composer announced that next year he will conduct a 200-piece orchestra and choir in the performance of some of his most well-known works for his first U.S. concert ever. The event will take place February 3 at New York City's Radio City Music Hall. (Rumors have swirled that Morrissey may join him at the concert.)

New York's Museum of Modern Art will join in the festivities with screenings of six Morricone-scored films in its collection. Those films are The Battle of Algiers, Once Upon a Time in the West, Two Mules for Sister Sara, Once Upon a Time in America, The Mission, and U Turn. MoMA will run them from February 1 to February 7.

Now for the bad and the ugly: the requisite Morricone tribute album, which is scheduled for release in the spring and will feature contributions from Bruce Springsteen, Metallica (who regularly open shows with Morricone's "L'Estasi dell'Oro" from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly soundtrack), Yo-Yo Ma, the Simon Cowell-from-"American Idol"-designed international "popera" group Il Divo, and Celine Dion. Better yet, according to a press release, "Celine Dion's track was produced by Quincy Jones, marking the first time the two artists have worked together." Finally!

Went to see Jack Lewis last night (8th November) at Brixton Windmill. His set was unfortunately cut short by those bands ahead of him on the bill overrunning. However, he did a great cover of "First of the Gang to Die". He'll be back in London playing at the same place with his brother on December 4th and I'd highly recommend anyone in the area checking it out.

Voting has started for the Dutch Top 2000, which will be broadcasted on Dutch radio during the last days of 2006. Let us try to make 'There is a light that never goes out' as the ultimate 'end of the year song' enter this list!

You can vote now by clicking on the link.

To vote do the following. You have to click on 'Begin nu met stemmen' (which means 'Start voting now'), to be found on the right side under 'Stap 4'. On the left side you see De Top 2000 keuzelijst (list of choices). You can find three Smiths-songs: Girlfriend in a Coma, Panic and Bigmouth Strikes Again. Click on one of them, click on the green button 'Voeg toe' (Add), and you see it appear in the empty box on the right. Do the same with the other two. You are obliged to select at least three titles from this list of choices. If you make a mistake, click on the red button ´Verwijder´(Delete) and the selected title disappears immediately. Of course you can choose more songs (from other artists), but not more than nine, because the maximum is ten and you need one choice for 'There is a light...', which isn't mentioned in this List of choices, but you can select one personal choice. To do this you have to click on the black icon 'Verder' (Continue) right down. The next page gives you the opportunity to vote for 'There is a light...' On the left you see two blank lines. Under 'Artiest' (Artist) you type ´Smiths´ and under 'Titel' (Title) 'There is a light that never goes out'. Then click on 'Voeg toe' (Add) and you see it appear on the right under 'Uw eigen keuze' (Your own choice). Click on 'Verder' (Continue) right down. If you wish you can explain in the empty box on the left why you like this song so very much. On the right you have to fill in (up to down) your name, email, address, postal code, city, date of birth and choose man (m) or woman (w). Click again on the black line 'Verder' (Continue) and your voting is finished! All that we can do, is hope for a good result. Please be aware that voting is possible till Friday the 24th of November. Let november spawn a beautiful monster into the Dutch Chart of all times!
