From: obrien@CSNET-SH.ARPA Someone some days back claimed off-handedly that the closing theme music to "Buckaroo Banzai" was from Dave Grusin's "Night-Lines" album, specifically, the cut "Kitchen Dance". Well, no. Wrong, wrong, wrong. I just bought the album, and while it's similar music (in fact, has the theme from "St. Elsewhere" on it), the BB theme music is nowhere on it. Does anyone out there have better information on where the theme music may be found?

Having just [re]seen the movie last night (midnight show at the Rialto in LA), I remember that Michael Boddicker was credited for the music. I didn't notice any other music credits, and the end theme is certainly similar to the other music in the film. I've heard of Boddicer before; a quick check reveals that he played synthesizer on Rickie Lee Jones' first album. If there really isn't a BB soundtrack album (I find this hard to believe, although I haven't looked), I would suggest looking in the Jazz or Electronic section of any finer record store . . . --Peter Alfke [jpa144@cit-vax] PS: Has anyone heard anything about a sequel? PPS: A lesser-known Caltech tradition is that those cannon-shell-shaped metal cones sometimes found at the corners of buildings are really space aliens in a pupa state, and that they must be regularly kicked to disrupt the growth of the alien inside and prevent it from emerging to wreak havoc. Well, in the Red Lectroids' nest the things were all over the place (albeit the entire cone, not just 3/4 of it). I am severely freaked out. Does anyone else know about this legend, or what the cones were doing in the nest?

Well, there isn't a soundtrack album available yet, but the Official Buckaroo Banzi Fan Club is now up and running. If you want to help get the ball rolling on a soundtrack album, drop a line to...
