I hated THE LION KING. Just the bottom of the barrell marketing clap-trap from Disney with ultra-lame Elton John songs! I wonder what all of those neo-con parents told their kids when Uncle Elton got married to another man. Ahaha

No mention of this song on the DVD so far…

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

Maybe I should volunteer for the job?

[Ryan Keaveney]

Thanks for the tip!

This is a great game score, but it never reminded me of Elfman, beyond the busy orchestrations.

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

Okay, world premiere here then? Tomorrow I’ll type the lyrics out, just for you, Tenderlumpling!

Ryan

It’ll probably debut in time for the DVD release, which is next week.

I just picked up the CORPSE BRIDE book from Newmarket Press. Very nice! Includes lyrics from all the songs too.

It’s not a scene, it’s a desktop wallpaper.

It came down to credit on NIGHTMARE. Hot heads and egos blew up. That’s the gist of it.

Mark Mothersbaugh wrote the opening and closing music, I believe.

They’d never take the lipsynch route.

It’s really difficult to get in. You’d probably have to be the guest of someone invited to the session, or have a friend involved with the production. When I visited L.A. my friend Chris Tilton got me into a LOST scoring session, which was great. However, it’s difficult to take people into the session if you don’t know them because they are fairly serious ($$) and if that person ends up being an ass it’s not the composers you have to worry about! Studio execs, directors, producers – all can flip out because of bad behaviour.

Shhhh! Yer not supposed to talk about this

What recording did your NEVSKY clips come from? I have the old RCA/Red Seal recording.

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

It’s all from SCROOGED

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

I’d like to see that happen!

Merry Christmas to you also, Rex. And to everyone who visits the site every day, Santa has dropped off a small gift. Enjoy it!

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

I have both as well, but for those who don’t, they are unfortunately only available in the U.S. iTunes store.

It’s called a celeste. Apple’s Garageband program has a great celeste software instrument.

Garry Winick also directed TADPOLE, which got decent reviews.

I actually can’t wait for CHARLOTTE’S WEB. It will be a nice change and I think the movie will be sufficiently cute,

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

It might have to do with the fact that a kid’s fantasy based on a classic book would do better in the Christmas season rather than the over-crowded summertime where 12-year-old-boys rule the cultural taste!

Are we still on this GLORY in THE PASSION OF CHRIST? This was already a topic of dicussion months ago. THE PASSION and GLORY both reference Vaughn Williams’ “Fantasia on a theme by Thomas Tallis”.

It bothers me that people grind their axe with PASSION because of it’s politics.

I don’t listen to Kanye’s music, but he had the cojones to put GWB in his place.

Ryan

[Ryan Keaveney]

Of course!

Elfman always uses a real choir (there have only been a handful of exceptions).
