OST 08.12.12 – 2012 Review Part One
Soundtracks, library music and assorted tittle-tattle brought to you by Jonny Trunk. With February looming large, what better time to look back at some of last year’s highlights? It’s probably best not to question the timing of these podcasts and just be glad they exist. Anyway, this week Jonny present a superb overview of the soundtrack releases of 2012. A feast that includes musical morcels from Moonrise Kingdom to lost recording found on a Paris dump.
OST 22.10.2012 – Southern Library Special
Jonny Trunk introduces a recently discovered stash of sublime 7″ library records from the early 1960s, all issued by the Southern library label. These are rare beasts indeed, all found by a dedicated OST listener who wanted to share his musical fortune with us all. Two hours of incredible music by the likes of Roger Roger, Johnny Scott and several more very clever musicians…
OST 03.10.2012 – Greek Special
Superb OST Show with Jonny ‘Spellcheck, Dammit!’ Trunk here with a music trip to Greece. Yes, Greek film music and Greek soundtrack Gods – Theodorakis, Vangelis, Hadjidakis etc and not a plate smashing sequence in sight. Awesome, beautiful, abstract and rarely heard sounds…
OST 04.05.2012 – Ten Year Anniversary Special
Jonny Trunk presents the Resonance FM tenth anniversary OST Show, with a 2 hour review of the film music, TV music and soundtracks we have played, discovered, dug up and championed in the last exciting decade. Marvellous! He also takes time out to give Robin The Fog a slap for not uploading these archive podcasts more regularly. More treats coming soon and more regularly, we promise…
Here’s to the next ten years!
OST 20.10.2012 – BBC Records Special
Soundtracks, library and television music plus other assorted ephemera brought to you this week by Robin The Fog. Having just released ‘The Ghosts Of Bush’, a well-received LP of his recordings of the former World Service building Bush House and earning himself the title of ‘The BBC’s Resident Hauntologist’, it seemed only good and right to invite Mr. Fog to present a special edition of the programme looking at the BBC’s own in-house label and some of the weird and wonderful records they’ve put out over the years. Expect music for home movies, movement and mime, sound effects and even a few sailors, as well as a couple of extracts from the LP that some claim ‘may be the last piece of true radiophonics’. You’ll also discover the meaning of the phrase ‘taking down with birds’ and improve your German. Kinky…

OST 24.03.2012 – ITC, The Saint and Cars Special with Andrews Roberts
Jonny Trunk is joined by Andrews “Aspergers” Roberts, one of the great factual dustbins in the UK. Andrews is incredible, and knows dangerous amounts about vintage TV and film. Here he chooses to hang out and talk about ITC, The Saint and cars a lot. An awful lot. Completely brilliant, but you may find your brain starting to seep out of your ears well before the end…

OST 14.04.2012 – Fenella Fielding, Darling…
Soundtrack, library, television and other raunchy swaggering with Jonny Trunk
This week’s podcast (and the first for ages, sorry about that) is from April 2012 when the gorgeous Carry On thespian legend Fenella Fielding brought her rich, velvety tones to the studio and Jonny almost to his knees with excitement. After some initial trouble mic-ing the dear lady, we moved onto a playlist of some of her greatest moments, including a big bad mouse, an incredibly rare and incredibly sensual, erotic, aerobic workout flexidisc and lots of giggling. There was also a touch of hysteria generated by the competition, which must rank as one of the most demented OST phone-ins ever. Left us all panting…
