    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 McGurdy, Deceased, by Basgall and Arthur.
