I'm really glad Danny Elfman decided / was convinced to do a rock song (his first proper vocal performance in... 13 years?). I don't think I'm going to see Wanted, but 'The Little Things' definitely gets double thumbs from me.
I didn't even know he did that sort of thing. How was yesterday? I didn't hear from you so just assumed you didn't want to meet up or anything. Hope it went well.
He was in a rock band before he started writing scores on a regular basis - Oingo Boingo! I can't believe I never shoved at least one or two of their songs down your throat.
They broke up in 1995, though. And even though there have been rumours of a reunion or something, Elfman is really firm on not doing it - because of the whole age thing, but also because apparently playing live with a rock band has given him permanent hearing loss! Oops.
But yeah, his vocal stuff is really good. I like his voice (Jack Skellington in Nightmare Before Christmas is a prime example).
I'm sorry I didn't get in touch, I was wandering around from 1-6pm, then I went to the meeting. It went really well, there are some very nice people working for the magazine. I didn't get any reviews sorted at the meeting itself, but I'm waiting for details as they get them. After it ended, it was past 8pm, so I just quick-marched back to Euston to get the second-to-last train.
So I didn't think you'd be free. Sorry about that. Next time I'm down we can liaise
