the demon barber of fleet street…
December 5, 2007
Stephen Sondheim’s Sweeney Todd: the Demon Barber of Fleet Street is the best musical ever. Fact.
Witty, dark, funny, amazing music – what else could you need?
I like Tim Burton, I like Johnny Depp, I like Helen Bonham Carter… but I hope they don’t ruin it.
The clips so far though, they look ok. Visually perfect at least. Let’s hope the new film doesn’t butcher it musically. I’m only slightly concerned about his accent.
something for the weekend.

IT seems Carlos D from Interpol is not just happy being in a phenomenal band; he also sees himself as a film composer!
After stumbling across this news item from Pitchfork (complete with nice picture of him and his dog – how cute is that?! – from the website), I’ve found that his aspirations are great – he wants to make magical music for those movies!
His website, as Pitchfork says, is bizzare. What it seems he’s done is compose some scores, then add them onto movies/TV already made. I wanted to embed these, but you’ll have to view them on his website…
Planet of the Apes is even in there! Most of it is nicely ambient.
What I haven’t watched yet but will as soon as I can is the short film online. Not the promo video, this is a short film he scored called Golgotha. I’ll see it over the weekend hopefully.
It’s interesting finding out his kit though (his bio is brilliant), and seeing what he does when he’s not posing, smoking into a microphone and rocking a bass guitar via a holster.
What a guy.

Even better if you’ve seen the Big Lebowski… which is exceptional.
