Wow, Eric, i really don't want to miss this!!

soooooo, will there be another broadcast at more reasonalble hour for us europeans? If not, i plan to stay up! And if i'll fall asleep at my desk on Tuesday, i'll have to blame you!

This is really cool, anyone who has not heard the story being read to them is in for a treat. Now bear in mind it was recorded prior to the movie being released so some of the inflection is a bit different, but the mental images that evolve as it is being read have really been enlightening for me. I encourage everyone to tune in to listen to this.

"Love, or something like it"? I kinda like that.

[SFEnnisSF]

For our European friends, the show will be re-broadcast at 19:00 UTC/GMT on Tuesday. (That's 8:00pm in Germany and Belgum, and 2:00pm EST/11:00am PST in North America.)

Wow!  I'm looking forward to this.  Thanks.

[southendmd]

I have this on CD, and I highly recommend it.

Campbell Scott is a sensitive reader.  The only false note is that he pronounces Aguirre to rhyme with "a queer" rather than the "a-gear-y" we're all used to.

Great choice, Eric.

[Toast]

I have the disc, but I've never set aside the time to listen to it. 
Now I have no excuse.
It's a date Monday at 10:30 in Newfoundland.

Mmm I have some fruitcake here somewhere.
And some Earl Grey Tea.  Sorry Ennis - but there's coffee, too.

Thanks BBM Radio and Campbell Scott.

This is a great idea, Eric!  Thank you.

Everyone - Keep your tissues close at hand.

YEEHAAW!!

But I'm confused.. Are you sure about the times..? For North America is it 2:00pm/11:00am or 9:00pm/6:00pm? If it's the latter, the European times cannot be right.. Or am I wrong..

Thank You Eric and Brokeback Radio.
A very lovely evening of listening to Brokeback Mountain.
The fruitcake was divine and I have some left and I do need hard sauce next time.

by the way Eric, do you know there's another recording of Brokeback Mountain?
The New Yorker has a recording of it too - on their spoken word CD:  "The New Yorker Out Loud Vol 2".


Disc: 1
1. A Visit - Steven Millhauser
2. Baster - Jeffrey Eugenides
3. How To Date A Brown Girl - Junot Diaz
Disc: 2
1. Jim And The Dead Man - Chuck D
2. On The Road Journals - Viggo Mortensen
3. Brokeback Mountain - Suzy Amis

"Annie Proulx's "Brokeback Mountain" (read with gender-bent affection by actor Suzy Amis) relates the tender tale of two Wyoming cowboys' ill-fated sexual passion."

Thanks Eric.

Thank you Eric. It was truly wonderful. Campbell Scott has a very nice voice. (although he did pronounce 'Aguirre' kinda strange  )

And here i was thinking i was done with crying over this story 

[Shakesthecoffecan]

Thank you Eric, I didn't get to llisten to it last night on acount of the internet connection being out, but today I hear it at work, turned it up for the workmen in the next room to hear. I hope they did.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN by Annie Proulx, read by Campbell Scott.

Listen in, as Campbell Scott narrates Brokeback Mountain to us.  Hear and visualize the story as he reads Annie Proulx’s words, or follow along with Campbell, as you read your copy of the book/short story with him!  This will be our first of many special broadcasts on BBM Radio!

From Audiofile:
Originally published in THE NEW YORKER and then as part of the collection CLOSE RANGE, Annie Proulx's short story packs a punch. Cowboys Jack Twist and Ennis del Mar find love or something like it watching over a herd of sheep one summer on Wyoming's Brokeback Mountain. Their lives diverge and intersect again and again as they simultaneously resist and are drawn into a doomed, impossible romance.

Campbell Scott's clear reading puts Proulx's beautiful and harsh language front and center. The story is mostly straight narration, but there are a few chances for dialogue, and Scott gives the various characters subtle Western shading, with a gentle drawl for Jack and a gravelly growl for Ennis. It's a timeless story that stands up to repeated listening and will stay with listeners long after the broadcast.

This will be a BBM Radio Event not to be missed!


After each reading, join us for a re-broadcast of our Slideshow program!  Hear all 30 songs in the slideshow back to back and follow along with the slides and pictures.  Re-live the experience, or experience it for the first time if you missed it previously.  The slideshow can be viewed here: http://bettermost.net/forum/index.php/topic,7710.0.html

Enjoy The Show!
