http://www.avclub.com/article/danny-elfman-oingo-boingo-film-scores-and-beatles--210856?utm_medium=RSS&utm_campaign=feeds

Just thought some of you might be interested. It's a career retrospective interview on a track-by-track basis. A handful from Oingo Boingo, a handful of the "expected" ones (Batman theme, Ice Dance, Breakfast Machine), and a handful of more random tracks (Wisdom, Spider-man 2, Mr Peabody).

Of note: he doesn't think they can revisit Wisdom because he has no idea where the synth masters are.

Wow, a great article that covers a lot of his Oingo Boingo work as well as his film scores.

The most interesting tidbit in there to me is that Elfman and Raimi had patched things up and were going to do Raimi's SPIDER-MAN 4 together before Raimi exited and the movie became the 2012 reboot instead.

Looking forward to reading it on Wednesday (I only read The Onion on Wednesdays).

And it was also interesting the way it was phrased-- Raimi asking Elfman if he wanted to do a *remake* of Spiderman. Was 4 originally going to be a reboot?

Excellent interview, I liked the trip down career path approach and even appreciate the Spiderman 2 detour.

I thought it was originally supposed to be another Spider-movie with Tobey MaGuire, etc... at least that's what multiple online sources seem to say:

That's what I always read too. Interesting.
