vinylcast #31: Bombay the Hard Way: Guns, Cars, and Sitars

In preparation for this morning/evening/afternoon's #ds106radio show on movie themes I'm going to play Bombay the Hardway: Guns, Cars, and Sitars -wherein Dan the Automator remixes 70s Bollywood film scores https://t.co/DQNyRE6sLp pic.twitter.com/Gg3qMS8nSr

Earlier this week I played Kruder & Dorfmeister’s K&D Sessions which was an album I picked up in the late 90s, and at the same time I got the Bombay the Hard Way CD by Dan the Automator which was a remix of 1970s Bollywood crime film theme music. I was going to stream from Youtube again, but realizing the whole album was in iTunes I went the easy route and let it stream.

On #ds106radio is a re-mix of Kaylanji-Anandji's 70s soundtracks, Bombay the Hardway introduced a new generation of Westerners to India's Ennio Morricone x2 https://t.co/kK5nym22I3 pic.twitter.com/Ge94JGxNnd

I checked in after Fists of Curry for more info about the Kaylanji-Anandji brother-duo that was responsible for more than 250 scores for films in Bollywood. They have quite a career, and working through their Wikipedia page was a reminder of how little I know about the universe of Indian Film. I need to change that.

I am calling these finylcasts (or fake vinylcasts) to try and set the table for the film themed show the femedtech phenoms were putting on later that day, and it did not disappoint.

I, on the other hand, could use some help with my levels, per usual.
