For those of you not yet acquainted with Henry Selick's recent masterpiece, Coraline... get up and get it. Get it now.
Of course, that's not what I'm on about. ; )
Before the film, there was the novel... and now there is the stage play. Frontman for The Magnetic Fields, the ever monotonous Stephin Merritt, has lent to this work his expertise in sounds of the strange and I couldn't be happier. No soundtrack to be found, just yet, but here's a little nug from the internet.
This, of course, lends itself very little to the music but it's interesting, all the same.
My real point is that Stephin Merritt may be a genius. My exuberance over Coraline has led me to discover his music and, like I said... my fate is sealed. Find out if the same is true for you.
