I Me Mine, I Me Mine, I Me Mine

Film Score Monthly reports worthy film-music stuff in its Friday news roundup:

* La-La Land Records (the label that's released a lot of Bear McCreary's work, like the upcoming score from The Sarah Connor Chronicles) is putting out what I think's the first release ever of music from Batman: The Animated Series, composed and supervised by the late, great Shirley Walker. The label will also put out Mark Snow's work on Millennium.

* The Grammys have nominated the film scores The Dark Knight, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, Wall-E, Iron Man (the one "huh?" response from me; I didn't think it was that distinguished) and -- finally eligible for something -- Jonny Greenwood's stark, sawing-on-your-consciousness music that was used in There Will Be Blood. (More film music nominations at the news link.)

Edited To Add: Any of you fans of James Dooley's music for Pushing Daisies? It's coming out, too, on Dec. 23.

You'll likely like this, at least if you're a gorehound: my write-up last night of the film Repo! The Genetic Opera. One slight spoiler in it.

I also wanted to add that I enjoyed it. I realized I hadn't really said that I'd liked it!

coebird, -bird, -bird, coebird is the word...

...NO.

Okay, let's do this properly:

You get the gift of warmth, you hear?
You've got the gift of love, I hear.
Your grace plus strength means no one here
Will mess with you and your birthday cheer.

Happy birthday, coebird. I'm looking forward to getting to know you and girlyengine better.
