Heads influence  - almost to the point of parody in the way that the words
are enunciated in the first verse.

The majority of the 'Toys' soundtrack seems to have been written by Hans
Zimmer &/or Trevor Horn. In the credits at the end of the film, it lists "The
Mirror Song" as being co-written by Horn, Bruce Woolley, and Dolby; however
only  Horn and Wooley are mentioned on the CD, with Dolby listed only as
performer. Because of this discrepancy I have always been desperately
confused by the true origins of this song. 

Dolby's performance of the song is SO fine, sometimes I find it a bit hard to
worry about. It's one of those things we can all puzzle over on those long
dark nights when we just can't sleep.

How many interviews is this man giving?? I shall have to look for this new
one. Are there any tasty looking instruments in this one? The interview in
June's EQ was excellent, I never did find out what that thing is that Thomas
is holding in the photograph on Page 70, but it still makes me HUNGRY. It
looks like baked glazed giant apple slices on a stick. MMMMM!!! If it isn't a
percussion instrument, then send me the recipe!!

I know this has nothing to do with Dolby (at least I think it doesn't) but my
friend just got a job in a Nissan commercial which will air in the Chicago
area starting in October. He plays an 'X-Files' type investigator trying to
figure out Nissan's high rate of sales. He promised to send me a copy of it.
I'm so psyched, I wanted everyone to be on the lookout for it! This way you
will sort of know him when it comes on.
