Manos: The Rock Opera Of Fate

From [livejournal.com profile] bathtubnz, posting in [livejournal.com profile] mst3k, a promo page. Guess we'll find out tonight if I should dig up the songs I was working on years ago....

Given how well you did with "The Last Hero on Earth," I'm surprised nobody's approached you with the idea of doing music for a musical. And when I say "approached you," I mean with some upfront cash, an existing story and a contract for music rights/profit sharing in hand.

Think about it. A show like "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas," with a small on-stage country band, worked beautifully. Tom makes great music with a guitar and a double handful of computer recording. Who better to write for a small theatrical production?

I'd do it, but my theatrical production budget for this quarter is going into an extra bowl of gruel.

In that case, try not to listen if [livejournal.com profile] stevemb's cell phone ever rings in your presence.

In somewhat the same area, I just today listened to the original cast album for "Evil Dead: The Musical". It was, I'm sorry to say, awful.

I heard some of the songs and from what I heard, it could have been good if they just got better singers for chrissake.

Really? Strong disagreement from this end. The tunes, while energetic, were generic pastiche. The lyrics were a motley compendium of bad rhymes, worse scansion, and stale jokes.
