"You moved in slow degrees/A sudden memory/You're a Leonard Cohen song" - Better Than Ezra, "Under You" "But I was caught, like a fleeting thought / Stuck inside Leonard Cohen's mind" - Mercury Rev, "A Drop In Time" "Give me a Leonard Cohen afterworld / So I can sigh eternally" - Nirvana, "Pennyroyal Tea" It's almost unbelievable now to think that we almost never heard Leonard Cohen , the singer. A well-regarded poet from the late [...]
Le roi a fait battre tambour is a French song from the 17th Century (writer unknown), from the Saintonge region. The song is either about Louis XIV, the Sun King, and the death of one of his mistresses, or the poisoning of a mistress of king Henry IV. It was recorded by many, many artists: Edith Piaf, Yves Montand, Anne Sylvestre and Nana Mouskouri . And by trio La Féline, Agnes, Xavier and Stephane, who are named after the 1942 movie La Féline. The trio released two EP's this year. La Féline was featured on [...]
"People call me a director, but I really think of myself as a sound man." - David Lynch , quoted in Michael Chion's David Lynch David Lynch 's electro-pop album Crazy Clown Time has left a lot of music fans and critics scratching their heads. But, looking back at the filmmaker's long history of re-purposing pop music in his films and other work, it's possible that Crazy Clown Time is one of the least strange moves that the veteran film director, meditation guru, coffee entrepreneur, [...]
Non è certo possibile dimenticarsi la musica scritta da Angelo Badalamenti per il Twin Peaks di David Lynch , la voce di una giovanissima Julee Cruise accarezzava le note di Falling . Meno noti sono gli album completi della cantante Americana, i primi dei quali prodotti dallo stesso Lynch ( Floating into the night e il bellissimo The Voice of love ). Amata da musicisti sperimentali come Kahn , per il quale la Cruise ha collaborato in un paio di album, la Cruise sarà al Caracol di Pisa il [...]
SoftSpot // • † o u r • c a s s e † † e • Every once in a while bandcamp spews something out at you that is almost too good to be true. Almost. Such is the case with Brooklyn band SoftSpot . I read somewhere that Julee Cruise is an inspiration and I can totally see that. Those same sort of Lynchian fingerprints are all over these tracks and if you're a David Lynch-freak like me then that should be enough to win you over right [...]

The Wedding Present — Falling (Julee Cruise cover) From Hit Parade 1 ( Manifesto ; 1992) That gum you like is going to come back in style.
Another Friday, another stream of consciousness, or pile of shite – same thing really. Body currently in a great state of disrepair, not helped by falling down a big flight of stairs. All I can marvel at retrospectively is the number of thoughts that crossed my mind before I hit the bottom. And the amount of bruises on my body. Currently wondering what sounds the hound would like if he could choose. He's not fond of rain – torch songs? At bit of Antony and the Johnsons . Maybe a bit of early Supergrass , when [...]
Listen, I've started watching THE WIRE and I can't stop. I think after tonight I might just focus the rest of the week on sharing that much-anticipated Adventures In Dating story I've been promising you for a month. Now that the story has a definitive beginning, middle and end I can write it up quickly [...]
Do you like music? Well this one is a call to action. A temporal mix that hopefully reads more timeless than momentary. A sort of "Music Now!" demand in line with the standout Frightened Rabbit track off their Sings The Greys debut. I always seem to end up with a bunch of late 60s tracks, and the ones on this mix seem to be especially central to the overall gesture. Almost as a challenge to myself after having an argument with a friend on the quality of 80s music, and realizing how few products of the [...]
Dirty Beaches - Lord Knows Best Alex Zhang Hungtal is the Montreal minimalist better known as Dirty Beaches. With faint vocal hints of Ian Curtis and pub singer Julee Cruise in David Lynches' Twin Peaks TV series, Hungtal reaps experimental, atmospheric soundscapes in forms of doo-wop, rockabilly and hazy shoe gaze. Accompanying his tour with label [...]

MP3: Julee Cruise - Falling (demo) I was listening to my friend 's radio show and his friend played this 7 inch he found containing quite the gem: the demo version of "Falling", a song written by David Lynch, composed by Angelo Badalamenti and sung by Julee Cruise that is also known, in it's instrumental form, as the theme to the seminal television program Twin Peaks . The 7 inch is a random promotional item from the majors, it's green and went [...]

Ever since seeing Eraserhead on TV at a tender age, I've been following (and often enjoying) the work of David Lynch. Actually, my fascination pre-dates even my first viewing of his films-- just seeing the box of the Eraserhead VHS was creepily seductive. In recent years, however, his experiments with digital video have left me a little cold. Inland Empire , for example, has sat on my shelves, unwatched, for over two years. So, I was a little hesitant about seeing [...]
