Did anyone happen to notice that, as a Halloween treat, Danny’s iTunes Celebrity Playlist came out this week? There are two, actually, entitled “Halloween” and “Classical.” The tracklists are as follows, although it’s cool to see what he has to say about each one by visiting the site.

2. St. James Infirmary – Cab Calloway
3. The Old Man of the Mountain – Cab Calloway
4. The Creation of the Female Monster – Franz Waxman

8. Black & Tan Fantasy – Duke Ellington
9. The Mooch – Duke Ellington

11. La Dolce Vita – Nino RotaThat was pretty interesting! I don’t think there has been too many film composers that have had a celebrity playlist. Additionally, TNBCSE was #10 on the top selling iTunes recently.
I thought you’d probably have to log into the U.S. iTunes store to see the playlist, but shockingly there’s also an entry in the Canadian store.
Here’s a link to the U.S. store entry:

If it’s available where you are it will show up in the search results as “Essentials”.

I completely missed that. Oddly enough, on Halloween I spent an ungodly amount of time looking for some spooky tunes. Thank you so much for the heads-up!
So where’s the link to what he has to say about each of the tunez?
Interesting playlist. I’ll have to listen to each and every one of the tracks listed, now.
Doesn’t show up here (from Norway). Anyone care to copy and paste what he says about the various tunes?
Thor, you can still preview and read the content on any iTunes site, none of which can be copied and pasted. Follow the link to the U.S. store instead.

or has anyone else noticed that while on the classical list elfman talks about the dance of the knights track from romeo and juliet as his #5, that track isn’t even on the actual play list? the tracks-for-sale go straight from prokofiev’s piano concerto to lieutenant kije… and it’s a bummer, because i love what elfman has to say about the romeo and juliet piece:
“This is one of those really big melodies that gets right in under your skin. It literally makes me want to stomp around the room swinging a huge sword chopping off a few heads! I’d give my left nut to be able to write something like this for a film one day before I die. Seriously.”
now i gotta go hunt down that bit….
Yeah, I did that, but when I typed in “danny elfman” in the small search box on the left side, all I got were some Elfman albums that I could listen to in the itunes store. No “Essentials”, as you called it. No list of any kind. No nothing. Maybe I’m just being stupid here, but I sure as hell can’t find it.

the Old Man of the Mountain!
Thor, I linked directly to the Essentials list on the U.S. store in my first post in this thread. Anyone in the world can click on that and view the list.

“Anyone in the world can click on that and view the list.”
How about if your running Window’s 98? You have to have iTunes which isn’t available to Window 98 users.
That link you gave just takes me/directs me to the iTunes homepage.
And no, I’m not using Windows 98, but Windows XP. And YES, I do have iTunes installed (although not the latest 7.0 version).
