Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

Buffista Music III: The Search for Bach  

There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

And yet - then I watch Midnight Run again, and boggle that THAT'S a Danny Elfman score.

Hey, I'm a Danny fan. It's not like everything he does is recycled. But he does hit his favorite bag of tricks a little too often. Though there is something to be said for "How Would Nino Rota Score a Superhero Movie?"

"We are the Goon Squad and we're coming to town...Beep! Beep!" - David Bowie, "Fashion"

Oh, I don't disagree that there is a "DANNY ELFMAN SCORE". I just am pleasantly pleased when he doesn't necessarily go there, and MR is one of the big standout atypical ones for him.

With the occasional consultation with Kurt Weill.

With the occasional consultation with Kurt Weill.

He has built a successful career on the profitable assumption that very few Americans have seen Fellini or Threepenny Opera.

“Not dead yet!”

And now I'm going to have to listen to Serenada Schizophrena. Not sure this is a good idea before bedtime. We'll see.

"And that's why God Almighty gave us fire insurance and the public defender".

Breeders tonight!

Ooooh, they're fun. And for some reason, the only show that escapes my mind when I'm thinking about "which international shows I've seen so far? Humm, let me count...".

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Cindy und Bert play Black Sabbath.

Naturally the lyrics have been changed to "Der Hund Von Baskerville."

Instantly shoots to my top ten rock videos ever.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Nobody plagiarizes himself quite like John Williams.

Except maybe Danny Elfman.

I'd say both are put to shame by Andrew Lloyd Webber. That man has been writing the same musical for thirty years.

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Cindy und Bert play Black Sabbath.

'Cause when the backing tracks are playing a guitar or keyboard solo, what I want to look at is a cute li'l doggie!

See it's conceptual. That's the Hund Der Baskerville.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Hey Jilli!

Look, it's two of your favorite things mashed together: A Phantom of the Opera vid set to Jill Tracy's "Evil Night Together."
