Someone needed to say it. To take it a step further, Tim Burton spoils everything he touches.

They retired in hopes Dennis Miller would finally stop obsessing over them.

I was at their next-to-last halloween concert. A great show. I miss them. For a while, the art teacher at my school lived next door to the drummer, Johnny Vatos. I got to meet him. Nice guy.

I thought they had to stop because Elfman's hearing was damaged a la Pete Townsend. Last time I listened to Only a Lad it really didn't hold up well. Nothing to Fear is still good, though.

Yeah, Elfman can't perform live due to hearing issues, but the rest of the band iirc has tried to carry on on their own to limited success. Also, Elfman is a creep so that doesn't help. Still love Oingo Boingo tho, not really Elfman's film score work because it's all so samey

After the intermission, Elfman came out and sang a few songs. It was a good show. I like his soundtracks. I have a lot of his stuff on my lab playlist that I played for my students during class. His stuff was recognizable to most of the students, and they would sing along in a lot of cases. they only Boingo song on the playlist was "Dead Man's Party". Not much else is really appropriate to play for 7th grade kids.

Yeah, don't get me wrong, his scores for Tim Burton's films in the '80s and early '90s were iconic and perfectly set the atmosphere every bit as much as Burton's direction and visuals. Hell, his music, for me, was synonymous with the cinema experience as a whole when I was a kid. It's just that his style has kinda been in that same place for so long, and I guess I'm over it. Then again, I could say the same for the other heavy hitters in that space, whether Williams, Zimmer, Silvestri, and so on. Now being able to experience it live, that's a h*ck of a, well, experience. Boingo, though, that's a big part of my soundtrack for the spring every year.
