David Lynch - The Big Dream (Official Video)

I am not much of a Moby fan - nothing against him, the music I know of his is good but has just never done enough for me to make me a fan - but here he remixes, directs and apparently shoots a video for a David Lynch song that, as you'd expect from a Lynch fan, I LOVE.

David Lynch Remixed by Bastille

Previously I have not been huge on Bastille's radio single "Pompeii", however lately it's begun to grow on me. When I saw the video for the song or hear it in any context other than on the radio certain nuances come to the forefront. It reminds me of 80's Peter Gabriel - with those early forays into world music - mixed with The Streets. And honestly, I'm an Anglophile, so lead singer Dan Smith's very, very British voice wins me over. It may also have something to do with the fact that I heard an interview with Smith a few months back where he spoke about what a huge David Lynch fan he is (and subsequently I discovered they have a song called "Laura Palmer") and that he'd had the chance to remix one of Lynch's songs.

Well done Mr. Smith.

David Lynch - Bad The John Boy

Weird. David Lynch's The Big Dream had fallen off my radar recently when I found it in the back of my car and stuck it in this morning while driving to work. It is, just as his 2012 record Crazy Clown Time, a fantastic album. Lynch might be a beginning musician but he's worked with musical GOD Angelo Badalamenti for what has to be approaching thirty years now, composing and structuring music for his visual project. Before this of course he worked with Alan Splet crafting the sonic nightmarescape that is the score for Eraserhead. All of this has given the man who has only recently learned to actually play guitar an insight into tone and texture that many skilled musicians take albums to develop.

Anyway, so the first thing I see when I fire up the ol' youtubes today is this track, which is on neither pre-existing Lynch record. I haven't hopped over to David Lynch.com yet to investigate but am I to believe then that there may be a third on the way sometime soon? I can only hope...

Update: Huffington post - a site I'm fairly 'meh' about - has a little about the song (Lynch's website has nothing) and it comes under a truly hysterical headline:

David Lynch's New Song 'Bad The John Boy' Is Officially Terrifying

David Lynch - Making of The BIg Dream

I've been meaning to post this for a while, however by the time it first came to my attention (via bloody disgusting I believe) it was pulled down, and then I kind of got folded into the complex arrangements of the last two weeks and time and space and new music kind of disappeared. Well, I've resurfaced - somewhat - and now I have to post this. Mr. Lynch continues to be one of the most delightful, inspirational organisms walking the planet today and an artist that, even when horrifying me, still can make me smile. The Big Dream came out today and I've yet to buy it, but I think I will be able to return to normal existence soon and sit down and listen to it. That will make me happy.

David Lynch - Star Dream Girl

You know, I really want him to do another film, but I'm pretty damn happy with him releasing music every two years.

David Lynch & Lykke Li - I'm Waiting Here

First release from the forthcoming new album by Mr. Lynch. Apparently, if you pre-order the record from itunes you get this as an instant free download. Very nice, reminds me of sitting out on the old mining road, watching the sun hang in the air over town but never quite come up.
