Soundtrack for the Animated Film "Coraline"?


TMBG、アニメ映画音楽を作成中か？




TMBGがNeil Gaiman (New York Times Best-Selling Author)のジュニア向け
ファンタジー小説「Coraline」を元にした映画のサウンドトラックを作っている
もよう。

監督は奇才Henry Selick (The Nightmare Before Christmas, Monkeybone,
Jamesand the Giant Peachなどの監督）。彼のアニメーション映画とあればかなり
期待巨大でしょう。→Henry Selick Interview from Latino Review　

ストーリーは、新しい家に引っ越してきた女の子（小中学生？）が開かずのドアの
向こうにもう一人のお母さんともう一人のお父さんが住んでいる世界を発見して
なんたらかんたら・・・と言うもので、「不思議の国のアリス」の現代版のようでも
あるけれど、結構コワくてオドロオドロしい場面も出てきます。「Nightmare」や
「Giant Peach」のキャラクターを想像するとまさにぴったり！きます。

公開予定は2005年らしいです。
これはかなり楽しみです！


New! フリーMP3!
今回はご当地ソング集より「Anaheim」と、「Clap Your Hands (Live)」が
無料でダウンロードできます。

下のニューズレターによりますと、TMBGのみなさんは、11枚目のアルバムと、
いくつかのステキなハリウッド映画の曲をスタジオで作成中だそうです。

News Letter from J. Flansburgh

NEW FREE MP3s AT TMBG.COM


From Flansburgh:
"Just 12 hours since we fell off our collective couches watching the Simpsons
last night. The new episode ended with Istanbul, Not Constantinople. Very
exciting (but why are we always the last to know about this stuff?)!

We've been ensconced in the sun-free studios of NYC working on that always
difficult 11th album, songs for a couple of fancy Hollywood movies (!?!), and
preparing ourselves for the next evolution in live shows. On Thursday we are
in Los Angeles on the Sunset Strip, performing at the House of Blues. This is
an 18+ show, being filmed for Music Choice. We will be doing an opening set
of selections from Venue Songs and will be joined for the performance by our
good pal Andy Richter, pictured below, who will be narrating the proceedings.

We will also be performing a free in-store performance at Amoeba Records.
Navigating the terminology "for everyone" is always suspect and especially
dynamic for TMBG these days, so we have created the...

They Might Be Giants In-Store Mission Statement:
To strive for excellence in an overcrowded but safe family-friendly atmosphere
that is as musically stimulating and emotionally unavailableas They Might Be
Giants' adult shows, with no Raffi after taste.

The Amoeba show will be about a half hour and performed on what we are told
is a highly legitimate stage for a record store. We will also be signing whatever
you might care to have us sign and giving away delightful sticker sheets (which
surprisingly are a big hit with adults). Pre-signed CDs and DVDs will be available
day of show for the busy busy people of LA who aren't up for braving the crowd.
We will also be performing Venue Songs in San Diego County, our debut
performance at legendary Belly Up in Solana Beach with an undisclosed special
guest narrator, along with our favorite extra-loud rock songs.
Hope to see you somewhere out there!
Your pal-
Flans"
