Well, if you listen to Barry, (especially after a breakup) your gonna cry your friggin eyes out!! Ummm Umm, Now, ...We are men, are we not!! (well most of us on here), Almost any Goldsmith actioner will get you all roused up and ready to take on "Arnold" (have an extra Jim Beam for that one!) But for the few who would want to sit and "ponder", with their "beverage" there is Vangelis "Blade Runner", "Chariots of Fire", and stuff like Delerue's "True Confessions" (if you have the lp) and Morricone's "Days of Heaven" and "The Mission". Among others. Another thing! If you do decide to have a bender with film music for whatever reason, STAY THE HELL HOME AND DON'T DRIVE!!! Thanks, a nd don't make it a habit!

Well, this is one topic I can't offer any suggestions on, since I am 40 years old and have never even TASTED any alcohol!

Dear John:
You should drink your beers in elevators from now on -- you'll hear all the film music you could ever want.
Dear Jim:
You're not missing anything; it all tastes like kerosene, anyway.

Thor, a rather nice "soundtrack" CD for parties is "White Heat - Film Noir" (Discover 770088), though I don't know if it's still in print. It arranges themes from various 1940s-'50s Films Noirs (and near-Noirs) for Jazz Ensemble: ("Rozsa's "Naked City," "The Asphalt Jungle," "Double Indemnity," "The Lost Weekend," "The Strange Love of Martha Ivers"; Raksin's "Laura" and "The Bad and the Beautiful"; David Buttolph's "This Gun for Hire"; "Mancini's "Touch of Evil"; Steiner's "Key Largo," "White Heat" and "The Big Sleep"; and George Bassman's "The Postman Always Rings Twice").
Reeallyy nice for slow dancing with the boss' moll or that special high-class dame.

Well, you could listen to Rozsa's score to THE LOST WEEKEND while throwing back a fifth or two. Nothing like having a theremin wailing in your ears, and mental images of mice being devoured by bats, to add to your drinking pleasure.

Just as a drunk will drink anything, I suppose a drunk will listen to anything.
Seems like a waste of good music to me.
But I suppose I miss the subtleties of drunken music listening as I don't drink and don't like drunks.

"I have their entire collection of CDs except for the Danny Elfman solo CD (which I'll buy someday when the time seems right)"
The truth is, of course, that this is just another Boingo CD that happens have an Elfman solo label. The Boingo gang is pretty well represented on this (it's a great CD too).
"but just commercial releases, no boots or no vinyl releases (isn't there one or two eps that aren't on CD?)"
Actually, there's a bunch of EP's that never made it to the respective commercial albums (and I'm not talking about bootleg tracks). If you're interested, I can forward you to a site that has most of these in mp3-format, easily downloadable. But you'll need to e-mail me.
"Danny, Steve, and the gang were among the best of the 80's-90's bands. I still hope for a reunion CD someday."
Me too, although I doubt it'll happen. Meanwhile, let's look forward to NOVOCAINE, the new Steve Martin film with a Steve Bartek score and themes by Elfman!

Anzaldiman, it's amazing: you use the PRECISE adjective to describe Barry's music as I always have (though I do like his score to THE LION IN WINTER, and the Bond films aren't the same without his music).
