"This Will Clear Out All the Bad Toxins: The Solute July 2021 Movie Gift Exchange Soundtrack Mix," the second in a series of Solute mixes, compiles original music from several of the movies we gifted to each other in The Solute's July 2021 gift exchange. The selections range from Jerry Goldsmith's fantastic Star Trek: The Motion Picture score to really old Bollywood.

The title of this mix is a line uttered in Mandarin by Nai Nai to her granddaughter Billi during the tai chi scene in director Lulu Wang's The Farewell, "the most exciting hit movie of the summer," according to IndieWire's Eric Kohn in 2019—its popularity during summer 2019 made it a fitting choice for the July 2021 gift exchange—as well as one of the movies whose scores are featured in this mix.

The fourth of my "Incognito" mixes doesn't recreate this time the playlist from "AFOS Incognito," a block of selections from original scores to spy movies and shows I added to the late-night schedule of my internet radio station A Fistful of Soundtracks in the station's final year of existence.

"Incognito IV" instead imagines how "AFOS Incognito" would have sounded had I never shut down my station in 2016. I ended my station due to both the demise of Live365, the internet radio network that powered my station—although Live365 returned to the internet in 2017—and burnout from running the station. My audience began dwindling as early as 2006, which was the year when, for some strange reason after four years of frequent listener requests (it might have been because YouTube, which launched in 2005, was luring away listeners), my listeners stopped sending me requests, so I didn't have enough requests to play during monthly mailbag shows anymore. When I was getting requests from only Dave Cordes in Denver, that's when I knew I had to pull the plug on the monthly mailbag show. By the mid-2010s, I didn't want to be known solely on the internet as the guy who ran A Fistful of Soundtracks. I had books I wanted to write. I was also frustrated about never being able to earn any money from A Fistful of Soundtracks.

Anyway, had the station still existed, I would have added to the late-night block's playlist a lot of selections from Ludwig Göransson's excellent score to the first Black Panther movie—a score that ended up winning Best Original Score at the Oscars—and a few selections from Robert Duncan's score music for Timeless, a two-season wonder about time travelers who must prevent a sinister agency known as Rittenhouse from changing history. I loved Timeless, especially the way Goran Višnjić would always snarl the word "Rittenhouse" with disgust as if it's the dirtiest word imaginable.

What does Black Panther have to do with spy movies? Ryan Coogler said that much of his first Black Panther movie was influenced by 007 flicks. And Nakia and Okoye are, in that first movie, much more effective spies than Bond. See Digital Spy's "James Bond theory explains why he's so bad at espionage" ( https://www.digitalspy.com/movies/a35597052/james-bond-theory-007-bad-spy/ ).

Reposting "Incognito IV" on HearThis gave me a chance to make one minor change to "Incognito IV." But because none of my Mixcloud followers have joined me over here on HearThis, nobody will know what that minor change is. Ha ha ha.]]>

The third of my four "Incognito" mixes is another mix that reassembles the playlist and soundbites from "AFOS Incognito," a block that aired at midnight on my old internet radio station A Fistful of Soundtracks. "AFOS Incognito" focused on original scores from spy movies or shows, whether the movie was a comedy (The President's Analyst) or dead-serious (Lust, Caution).

For this reposting of "Incognito III" on HearThis, I added an audio clip to "Incognito III" that wasn't a part of the mix when I first posted it on that other site. A couple of days after I first posted "Incognito III," I stumbled into the perfect intro to Ennio Morricone's "Nadine," an instrumental from the French-made Yul Brynner/Henry Fonda spy procedural The Serpent, a.k.a. Night Flight from Moscow. It was the 1973 American trailer for The Serpent, narrated by Adolph Caesar of A Soldier's Story fame. I always wanted to go back and insert Caesar's The Serpent trailer voiceover into "Incognito III," but I never got the chance to do so until the time came to repost "Incognito III" on HearThis.

I've never watched The Serpent. But thanks to Caesar's wonderful narration (Caesar narrated tons of movie trailers before he won several awards for his performance in A Soldier's Story), the trailer is probably better than the movie itself.

"Incognito III" also features music from movies like The Russia House, Sneakers, and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy. The 2011 version of Tinker Tailor is the visual inspiration for the new 2023 key art I designed for the four "Incognito" mixes after Mixcloud deleted from the four mixes—for some weird reason and without ever telling me—my original image of a female assassin, which I chose as the "AFOS Incognito" key art in 2015 because I wanted to evoke the opening titles from the Diana Rigg era of The Avengers. Go to hell, Mixcloud.]]>

The second of my four "Incognito" mixes recreates "AFOS Incognito," the midnight block on my long-defunct internet radio station A Fistful of Soundtracks. "AFOS Incognito" focused on original scores from spy movies or shows. "Incognito" was originally one long 2-hour-and-18-minute file, but Mixcloud was being a colossal dick when I tried to upload the file. The site rejected the file every time I tried to upload it, so I decided to divide the mix into three separate mixes. It's not the first—or the last—of many issues I've had with the frustrating-as-hell Mixcloud.

"Incognito II" features music from movies like Cleopatra Jones, Hanna, and Ronin, as well as music from shows like The Venture Bros. and The Americans.]]>

In its final year as an internet radio station, A Fistful of Soundtracks had, at midnight Pacific Standard Time every weeknight, a block of music called "AFOS Incognito." It was two hours of music from original scores that were written for spy movies or shows. I launched "AFOS Incognito" because about a decade before, I became a fan of the SomaFM channel Secret Agent, but I was starting to find it to be repetitive. Its playlist sounded like it was frozen in 2003. SomaFM founder Rusty Hodge liked to slip 007 movie soundbites into Secret Agent, but none of the soundbites were from the Daniel Craig era, and that bugged me a bit. I wanted "AFOS Incognito" to not sound like it was frozen in 2003, so its playlist included music from much more recent spy movies like Craig's 007 movies, in addition to music from classics like The Ipcress File and The Spook Who Sat by the Door.

The first three "Incognito" mixes recreate exactly how "AFOS Incognito" sounded from 2015 to my station's demise in 2016, while the fourth "Incognito" mix imagines how the midnight block would have sounded had I continued running the station after 2016 (I would have added a ton of tracks from Ludwig Göransson's score to Black Panther, a movie Ryan Coogler referred to as his 007 movie).

"Incognito I" features music from movies like On Her Majesty's Secret Service, The Spook Who Sat by the Door, and OSS 117: Lost in Rio, as well as music from shows like It Takes a Thief, The Prisoner, The Avengers, Get Smart, and Alias.]]>

This episode of AFOS is from the week of February 12-18, 2007. It recreated the playlist from "Sleazy Listening," a 2003 episode that grew out of my love at the time for a British internet radio station called Exploitika, which, like my radio station, doesn't exist anymore. Exploitika's format was funky and loungey grooves from '60s and '70s film scores, and the station was split into two different programming blocks: Cinegroovin', "non-stop sleazy listening, loungecore, crimejazz, funk and groovy beats," and Bloodstream, "the nastiest, scariest and spookiest music from the soundtracks of cult horror, thriller & giallo movies from the 60's to the present."

"I [made up the name Exploitika] back in October 2001 when I had a weekly DJ spot at a bar in Oxford (UK)," wrote Col, Exploitika's founder, on the station site back when Exploitika was online. "I needed a name for the night that I thought would sum up the wide spectrum of groovy, funky and laid-back movie music. It kind of has its roots in the word 'exploitation' - from 'exploitation movies' (another love of mine)."

In 2007, I re-recorded the 2003 episode in a professional studio in San Francisco because I hated how crappy my mic sounded in the 2003 edition. An episode featuring both the theme from Sessomatto—a famous hip-hop break—and the excellent Ennio Morricone theme from one of my favorite comic book movies of all time, Danger: Diabolik (a movie amusingly reenacted by the Beastie Boys in their 1998 "Body Movin'" video), deserved a much better mic.

There's also lot of Burt Bacharach during "Sleazy Listening." I wish the episode contained my favorite fake Bacharach song—the one Maya Rudolph sang when she guest-starred as Dionne Warwick on Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt:

"When you break up with Leonard Nimoy/You get a bus ticket to Sacramento/And a case of crabs for your memento/Why do I have a thing for spaaaaaaceships?"

"Dance Into the Fire," which I posted on the week of December 29, 2008-January 4, 2009, was the 100th episode of the show's run on the internet, as well as the final one I hosted and produced. I decided to go out with a bang—or rather, a kiss kiss bang bang—by playing all the opening title themes from the official 007 movies in chronological order.

I have mixed feelings about the 007 movies. A lot of them have not aged well. I've found myself agreeing with Boots Riley and Andrew Ti's negative comments about those movies. But my love for the original music John Barry and David Arnold wrote for those movies has never diminished.

Special thanks to Gracie. A postcard of hers from a trip to Janet's Vegas residency sparked me to finally build a mix around a copy of my favorite Janet track, a B-side called "And On and On," which I've always wanted to work into one of my online mixes. I still have the cassingle where "And On and On" was the B-side in a shoebox of '90s cassingles that's stashed somewhere in my parents' garage. There are enough cassingles in there to start a Tumblr of cassingle cover art, but I already have one Tumblr occupying some of my time, and I really don't need another.]]>

"I don't trust shoes that move." -Sheila the She-Wolf, GLOW

Key art: GLOW's skating rink episode.

(Yeah, I know the skating rink isn't the main thing to take away from that critically acclaimed episode, but I don't want to spoil certain shit for people who haven't streamed all of GLOW season 1 yet and want to finish it.)]]>
