Song of the Day: Two Mules For Sister Sara by Ennio Morricone

This 1970 film, which was heavily influenced by Clint Eastwood’s Spaghetti westerns, featured a soundtrack from Ennio Morricone.  It only seems appropriate that his excellent work should also provide us with our song of the day.

 

Song of the Day: El Chacal by Carlos Puebla

With today being May Day, it seems appropriate that today’s song of the day should be this blistering attack on Che Guevara, a racist and misogynistic sociopath who far too many people view as being a hero just because his face looks good on a t-shirt.

Music Video of the Day: Been Caught Stealing by Jane’s Addiction (1990, directed by Casey Niccoli)

Today’s music video of the day is for a song that is perfect for May Day.

This video features people stealing from a grocery store in Venice, California.  The barking was provided by Annie, who was Perry Farrell’s dog.  The song was not originally envisioned as featuring Annie but, after Farrell brought her to studio with him, she insisted on getting involved.  It’s now impossible to imagine the song without her.

Director Casey Niccoli was Farrell’s then-girlfriend and has often been described as his muse during the early days of Jane’s Addiction.

Enjoy!
