Nightmare Revisited

First to recommend

Description

A cover album honoring one of the most defining films of our generation. A favorite of all children of all age. This album includes the songs from the film reinterpreted by artists like Polyphonic Spree, Amy Lee, Marilyn Manson, Rodrigo y Gabriela, DeVotchKa, Sparklehorse, All American Rejects, and Plain White T's. Certainly one of the stranger albums I've ever seen released by Disney. It ranges greatly in quality from a boring cover by Manson, to a Pink Floydish cover by Polyphonic Spree to a superb and emotional renditon of Sally's Song by Amy Lee. For die-hard fan's of the film, definitly worth a listen. Go to Spin.com to hear the album streamed.

The Melancholy Death of Oyster Boy & Other Stories by Tim Burton

First to recommend

Description

Tim Burton is one of those rare individuals whose name has become a pop culture adjective. Even people who do not love his nightmarish surreal cinema of fun recognize his visual style when they see it. From his mind have sprung some of the most incredible visions ever committed to celluloid including: Edward Scissorhands, Beetle Juice, Mars Attacks, Sweeney Todd, Ed Wood, Batman 1 and 2, James and the Giant Peach, Sleepy Hollow and his masterpiece: Nightmare before Christmas.

Now you can read poetry from that same mind...and it is far darker than I expected...and very tragic. Much of the humor and playfulness at work in the films alongside all that is macabre is missing in some of these books...Instead we find tiny stories about scared and rejected child-like characters that while clever are just plain bleak. And yet I love this little tome. It is sweet in its way and fun with wonderfully illustrated by Burton himself with his odd palsey ink lines and queer abstraction of bodies and faces. A must for any fan of Burton.
