Speaking of which, Danny Elfman has his first vocal album out in 25 years - and it sounds like he's fronting 90s Nine Inch Nails! I quite like the two singles, "Happy" and "Sorry", but an entire album of that vibe is tiresome. Good to hear his voice again, though!

ooo that Halloween night show is close and particularly tempting. probably need to be out trick-or-treating, though.

Reissues of the first 4 albums coming out from Rubellan Remasters. CDs will all have bonus tracks, though he couldn't get clearance for previously unreleased demos and whatnot.

Bonus tracks are good. I gave the new elfman album a first try, but it doesn't have the same energy. Will try again but think I get a lot out of the guitars in OB. I switched to a live 1985 show at The Ritz NY on youtube that was amazing.

I'm very much in favor of the idea of an 18-track album of such big, extreme music that doesn't really stray from one specific mood, and I do like quite a few of the individual songs, but mostly I think "Happy" towers way above the rest of them. Just really love "Happy." It sounds like evil Sparks!

'No One Lives Forever' sounds a bit like Jack Skellington interpreting 'Never Say Never' for Halloween Town. It is good.
