If it were still April 1, you'd think I was kidding

You know you're seriously desperate to stay awake by all measures when you find yourself listening to the original Batman soundtrack as musical crack...and starting to like it.  Maybe more than 'starting to.'

Unfortunately, it's really inappropriate considering that I'm writing about an epileptic woman killing herself. And in a weird way I guess it all ties back into terror management theory and how people are afraid of death and subscribe to social institutions as life-affirmation to fill in the existential void. And this theory may actually be rubbish if you read Leary and Schreindorfer.

My brain is tired, yes. And I only have myself to blame for being a dumbass procrastinator.

We're talking Nelson Riddle here?

Yup. I'm embarrassed to admit that it's better than I expected for such a campy show. Like Mancini, he at least knows when to have fun with the material.

I didn't know whether you meant the Riddle score for the film (FSM) or the Neal Hefti album for the series (Razor & Tie). Either one is quite fun, though.

I love your Midge/Scotty Vertigo icon, by the way!

It looks like I have the Razor and Tie-released album, but now you've tempted me to get the FSM release.

And thanks about the icon! The brasserie doohickey exchange always cracked me up.

You had best hurry with the FSM release, though, because it is starting to get expensive these days. If you really do want it, there is a auction on eBay and some used copies on Amazon... just mentioning it because I missed a few FSM and Varese releases and they're still gone...

This is when I regret being a student without much money after spending what I saved on all of the Man from UNCLE soundtracks :P Thanks for letting me know about the other sites.
