Got in touch with Damon Baxter (aka Deadly Avenger) for comment on the David Shire piece for Shook. Damon was responsible for a homage to Shire’s score to The Taking of Pelham One Two Three, called We Took Pelham, on his debut album Deep Red. Now writing film music himself, he’s sent over an unreleased second LP, Blossoms and Blood. Check the Deadly Avenger Film Club on Youtube, and a preview of track The Reveal below, with time lapse footage of an orchid blossoming from inBeta400. More on this later, no doubt. Criminal that the LP isn’t out, Damon reports “getting sidetracked” – by that lucrative ad revenue no doubt (he’s just scored the new Dodge Charger ad).
