Dollhouse

PD: And you worked with Eric Bazilian on that album, as well as Back in the Circus …

JB: Yeah.

PD: But I’m not sure how the timeline goes. Was it before or after you toured Europe with the Hooters that you first linked up with him?

JB: That’s a good question … I think it was after the Hooters tour that we actually wrote together and produced a couple things together.

PD: Now, was that a case where you approached him, or he approached you, or …

JB: I think we were both kind of approaching each other and trying to figure out a time when we could actually make it work, and then finally I just drove down to Philly and showed up, and we started doing some stuff. And now, we’re just like, okay, whenever we can, we get together and try to write something else, ’cause it’s way too much fun! We just actually wrote a theme song for a new TV show on Fox.

PD: Oh! Which show?

JB: It’s a Joss Whedon show called Dollhouse…

PD: Oh, absolutely! I actually got to tour the set this summer!

JB: Nice! Yeah, well, we wrote the theme song, and I hope it runs for ten million years!

PD: I’m sure you do!

JB: Like the new sci-fi Friends!

PD: And as far as the Joss Whedon connection …. “Inconsolable” was also on Buffy …

JB: I know! That’s when I found out that he was a fan of mine! So when he was doing Dollhouse, he told the people at Fox, “Okay, my fantasy would be to have Jonatha Brooke singing a mixture of ‘Careful What You Wish For’ and ‘The Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies.’”

PD: (Laughs)

JB: So they hooked us up on a conference call, and we totally hit it off, so Eric and I wrote him a theme song.
