I've continued to dig into the websites of TV music composers over the weekend, including the site of Jeff Beal, composer for USA's great show Monk. From there I made the jump to the site of the guitarist who plays the theme (MP3 link), Grant Geissman; from there I discovered that Geissman recently wrote a book on EC Comics (and has, in the past, done other books on Mad and EC.) I have to admit I didn't expect that.

Of course, as it turns out, Ted Levine and Jason Gray-Stanford, who play Monk cops Stottlemeyer and Disher, are also the voices of Sinestro and Donatello. So I guess geekiness is never far away.
