anyone that knows me will know i bum off david lynch. from the small town wackiness of twin peaks (possibly the best tv series EVER) to the complete and utter headfuck of inland empire, lynch has been unleashing his crazy genius on to the world for decades.but one of the most striking features of his work for me is the music he uses, to create the incredible atmospheric moments of cinematic genius he's come to be known for.
audrey horne is made sexier than ever with her trademark shuffly blues grooves:
nina simone's sinnerman plays as an army of whores go sick to strobe lights. to be honest that film messed with my head too much for me to actually enjoy it:
roy orbison's classic in dreams comes out of nowhere for a bizzare lip-syncing performance in the drugden of blue velvet:
and here's the trademark david lynch sound, if ever there was one, that made me learn to appreciate heavy tremelo on a whole other level:
finally, another surreal lynch moment in which nicolas cage's badass wild at heart character proves his love by breaking into love me tender. guy's got some pipes!
to anybody unfamiliar with david lynch, i would highly recommend you get your hands on twin peaks, blue velvet, wild at heart and mulholland drive.
