Boing for the Buck

I am a die-hard fan of Boingo (formerly known as Oingo Boingo) and loved Chris Willman’s article on group leader Danny Elfman (“Back to Boingo,” May 15). However, I do have one complaint.

Willman calls the group’s new album, “Boingo,” the group’s “second studio album since their most popular effort, ‘Dead Man’s Party,’ came out in 1986.”

As any Oingo Boingo fan knows, “Dead Man’s Party” was released in 1985, not 1986, and it was followed by “Boi-ngo” in 1987 and “Dark at the End of the Tunnel” in 1990. That would make the new album the group’s third studio album since “Dead Man’s Party.” (Willman may have gotten “Boi-ngo” confused with “Boingo Alive,” a 1988 compilation album recorded live on a soundstage.)
