Editor’s Note: It’s been my pleasure to post these Playlists and audio from Picture This: Film Music on the Radio. I hope they will encourage you to tune in to WRIU (90.3 FM and streaming at wriu.org) for other shows. For original and creative music and public affairs programming without commercial interruption, it does not get any better in Southern New England.

If you look at this blog only occasionally or read it avidly, it should be clear to you its raison d’ etre is to share literature and music, and report when the spirit moves, on the local literary scene. Don’t know if I’ve ever strayed into politics here, and I don’t intend to start now other than to say this about that.

I bid adieu to 2024 and the worst election outcome of my lifetime. As a citizen of the republic who believes in human rights, civility, and accountability, I say hello to 2025 with great anxiety about the incoming “administration”. Regardless, I will continue to strive to make this site a place where the best facets of our nature are encouraged, presented, highlighted, and celebrated.

Joining me in the studio on the first show of 2025 was my co-conspirator on Picture This from the very start, Dai Bando (aka Michael Stevenson). Hope you enjoy the program and its temporary companion, The Ramblin’ Man, which will continue for the next two Sundays. 

Thanks for listening. Thanks for reading. Thanks for reading. Thanks for listening. Happy New Year!

I don’t usually comment on any of my broadcasts; in fact, this would be a first. But if you did tune in to last Sunday’s show, thank you. If you stayed with it, while I was having something close to an out-of-body-experience, then double thanks. I read that the sun released a powerful burst of energy earlier in the day. Called a solar flare, it reached its peak intensity at 12:26 p.m. Eastern Time, but did not affect my conscious mind for another five hours, at which point I lost the script, control of the board and a Miles Davis tune. If it could have happened, it did, and there was more, but it’s the stuff of sleepless nights, and who needs those, so I’ll leave it there. Thanks for listening. I love you all.

Picture This Playlist 28: The Music of Carter Burwell

(This program was broadcast on Sunday, December 3, from 7 to 8 PM on WRIU Kingston, 90.3 FM, and streamed on wriu.org)

Listen here:

Editor’s note: A few loyal listeners let me know that there was a sound problem with the first three to four minutes of the show, during which your host’s introductory remarks were mostly drowned out by the “bump” music leading into the show. So, I have included them here at the start of the playlist.

Tonight Picture This debuts a new monthly feature in which we showcase a single composer, sampling a broad selection of that composer’s work. The focus for our initial run at this is Carter Burwell, who is best known for his association since 1984, with Joel and Ethan Coen. Burwell has
scored 17 different films for the writer/director brothers, starting with their first feature, the film noirish Blood Simple. Starting with 2008’s In Bruges, he has also scored every picture made by Martin McDonagh, including 2022’s critically acclaimed The Banshees of Inisherin. Carter Burwell was born in New York City in 1954. At Harvard he studied animation and electronic music. He also pursued a course of independent study at the MIT Media Lab. After graduation he became a teaching assistant in the Harvard Electronic Music Studio.

In 1979 his animated film, Help, I’m Being Crushed to Death by a Black Rectangle, won first place at the Jacksonville Film Festival and second place at the Ottawa International Animation Festival.

From 1979 to 1981 Carter worked as Chief Computer Scientist at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory in Long Island, where he wrote software for image processing, lab automation and protein analysis. Cold Spring Harbor is one of the leading biomedical research facilities in the world. From there he went to the New York Institute of Technology, where he became Director of Digital Sound Research.

At the time he pursued a parallel career in music, playing with a number of bands in New York City, and in that scene, he met the Coens who asked him to score Blood Simple.

During his career he has also worked with Spike Jonze on Being John Malkovich, Where the Wild Things Are and Adaptation, the entire Twilight Saga, and currently, Apple TV’s The Morning Show, among many others.

All the music featured on this program was composed by Carter Burwell, except where noted

Theme from the Twilight Saga Collection, performed by Carter Burwell, James Fitzpatrick and the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra

Listen Now to Picture This, starting with Number 23: Scary Monsters and Super Creeps

Dear subscribers,

They tell me there’s 910 of you. I was thinking, if each subscriber told another person about this site and the new thing here where you can actually listen to broadcasts of Picture This, my radio show on WRIU 90.3 FM (streaming at wriu.org), why the numbers of subscribers and therefore listeners might grow by leaps and bounds. Tell two people or three, and well, the possibilities stagger the imagination (or not). In any case, have a listen. The inaugural offering is last Sunday night’s show, Scary Monsters and Super Creeps (nod, to David Bowie for the title), which was inspired, of course, by Halloween.
