David Lynch - Good Day Today - Single

Godfather of weird and purveyor of all things cult David Lynch has a single out. Yeah you heard! The director has long been into his music, soundtracking his films and collaborating with composer Mark Frost and other musicians including his recent Dangermouse/Sparklehorse collaboration 'Dark Night of the Soul' so it's no biggie to hear he's produced his own single finally.

Until you hear it of course...as it's nothing like the echoey scrapes and experimental rattles of his previous output, this is a full on Electo-beat pop/dance single complete with (heavily treated) vocals from Eraserhead himself.

Listen via the Guardian here and purchase via iTunes now.

RIP Mark Linkous

Extremely sad to hear today that Mark Linkous has died.

Having been a fan of his and his band Sparklehorse from the wonderful debut album vivadixiesubmarinetransmissionplot right up to the collaborative affort last year with Dangermouse and David Lynch which became Dark Night of the Soul. Linkous always wrote and produced music which was passionately felt, wonderfully creative and mesmeric to hear.

It's a sad loss for fans and music generally but of course a tragic loss for family and friends. Very sad news indeed.
