This song is really good too

There's something special about David Lynch's music.

I mean, if you don't get naughty thoughts when listening to this then you're doing it wrong. Wrong I tells ya!

It's instant striptease music.

To me, the ultimate Lynch music of all time is 'Sycamore Trees' from Fire, Walk With Me

Such an intense song, it affects me so much I can't listen to it most of the time

The opening titles for Fire Walk With Me are legendary.

random thought, but i love it how lynch always seems to use the newest technology but doesnt let it define him. fucking champ. i hope one day i escape his influence so i can do shit that cant be directly traced to him. a massive, massive talent. probably on par with kubrick at the end of the day.

I just hope that whenever he makes a new movie that he'll go away from the DV-cams he used for Inland Empire.

i loved it and am still digesting it three or four years on... i think we need to rethink what 'good' looks like.

and lets all rethink the fact that david lynch made a film using consumer grade dv cameras. thats pretty huge considering the caliber of director.

You're right. But if you compare the aesthetics of the footage in Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway with Inland Empire then the biggest difference is that there's no depth of field in any of the shots in Inland Empire. Everything is in focus like in a home video. I miss the beautiful shots from Mulholland and Lost where every single frame is so beautiful that it would work like a poster.

true, but theres beauty in all forms of motion pictures. i associate consumer dv cams with chaotic 'truth of the moment' type images, and this is obviously the type of vibe he was going for in 'inland empire'. but i see what you mean. theres no replacing the film version of lynch... but we certainly have a good amount of that, no?

Indeed. But I want more. Moooore!

lol, yeah, i guess i wouldnt turn down another blue velvet..

Don't worry about his new film being filmed with those DV-cams

His next film is going to be an animation, called Snootworld

i havent checked it but animation isnt true lynch.

great thread!

mixing multiple layers of weird over an overwhelming amount of 50s cheese. any party should have a track like this somewhere down the road.

ps.: i'm on the "mr lynch should drop the DV" bandwagon. a weird plot is not enough, the esthetics are just as important. the DV thing worked fine from a conceptual way, but not in a "looked great so i should keep on working with it for all my next films" way.

im obviously in the minority but i think the aesthetics of dv can be pretty powerful

the right tool for the right job i guess..

Lynch has made animated features for years and years. From his very first short films through to Dumbland etc

Even certain sequences in his films are stop motion and stuff. Remember that funky dancing worm on the mound of dirt in Eraserhead, that was fun :D

He really knows how to evoke some seriously strange feeling by using his crazy stylized animation/stop motion.

You'd know better than me... Has Lynch got any albums worth listening to? I've only heard a couple one off tracks, and the stuff he did with Sparklehorse/danger mouse.

 

Check out the INLAND EMPIRE soundtrack, has a few songs of him.

 

 

and there's this ambient album

 

 

and there's this ambienty album together with a polish dude

 

 

and there's this album, a li'l band he once made with another guy. A few of these songs can be heard on Mulholland Drive soundtrack, but I haven't listened to these songs in a long time, so I don't know if the album is reccomendable or not

cheers man, this'll do nicely.

I thought he just did the photos for the CD booklet

He also sang on a couple tracks.
