Speaking of Little Demons, a high quality version of “The Cat is Dead” was just recently posted on his newly designed website: https://www.dannyelfman.com/misc/thecatisdead
As well as some children’s songs I’d never heard before: https://www.dannyelfman.com/misc/childrens-songs.
I don’t know. My BS meter is going haywire on these accusations, especially Abadi’s. Can’t stand her.
Unfortunately, there’s another accusation. I’m one to believe the vast majority of women when they say they were abused, but in my opinion both of these stories seem very iffy and full of holes. What does everyone else think of this?
https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/story/2023-10-20/danny-elfman-is-accused-of-sexual-assault-by-a-second-woman-alleging-abuse-when-she-was-a-young-composerIf Elfman did nothing wrong, you can’t blame him for settling to make her go away in the first place. In these days where you’re guilty until proven innocent, he would’ve been “cancelled” for years, or indefinitely. The Depp case is an obvious example.
I’m also surprised by the lack of conversation about this. The Variety article omits some details. Here’s the original Rolling Stone article: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/danny-elfman-nomi-abadi-sexual-harassment-allegation-1234791842/
Keep in mind this article was written before Elfman had even received the lawsuit.
I don’t know if I buy this. Abadi visited Elfman multiple times for a year AFTER he had allegedly acted inappropriately towards her, and even flew to Paris with him and took nude photos. If she’s telling the truth, would she have continued to visit him for so long after the fact? Two of Abadi’s friends think she’s lying. Of course, I will change my mind if more evidence is provided, but right now some things just don’t add up.
Listening to this right now. It sounds better than the “Composer’s Edition”. More spacious and wider sounding. Such an underrated score!
Yeah, it looks like it’s actually him. He’s been posting interesting stuff just about every day. So cool.
I would be ecstatic if they just released the last Boingo album with the unreleased studio tracks (Vultures, Water).
I’ve noticed his social media pages have been more active recently. I wonder if someone is managing them, or if he’s doing all this himself?
He made it seem like it was new material and not Boingo related. Maybe a new solo rock album with chamber orchestra? That would be sweet! I’m drooling at the possibility of an Elfman cello concerto.
According to that site, Robert Smith of The Cure was Burton’s 1st choice to score Edward Scissorhands?
