Elmer McCurdy Rides Again and Again

Published on July 18, 2017

Music

• We start with Moonlight by Masayoshi Fujita.
• We hear a couple from Warren Ellis: Piece 3 and Lala’s Theme.
• We hear Paranoid and Credits 2 from the score to Christine.
• And Junkman’s Song by Stark Reality.

Notes

• There’s a succinct, well-written telling of the ins and outs of Elmer’s life and after-life in Christine Quigley’s Modern Mummies: The Preservation of the Human Body in the 20th Century.
• I also enjoyed The Career of Elmer McCurdy, Deceased, by Basgall and Arthur.
