Last year we had the privilege of filming Underworld both on and off stage during their three-night sold out residency at Sydney Opera House. It’s a beautiful thing. Everybody’s a beautiful thing.

My entirely subjective 2hr+ playlist of music written, performed, produced and remixed by David Lynch 🖤🖤

Sadly the amazing album The Big Dream is not on Spotify
Twin Peaks Sherrifs Dept
North Bend
North Bend High School
Snoqalmie Mill
I discovered that David Lynch had been in same locations only a few months earlier, filming what would become the third and final season of Twin Peaks. That we occupied the same physical space, at different moments in time, means the world to me. 2/2

Back in 2016, I made a quasi-pilgrimage to Twin Peaks, or rather the towns of Snoqualmie and North Bend, 40 minutes east of Seattle. I drove around listening to ‘Xiu Xiu Play The Music of Twin Peaks’. It was the closest I’ve come to a spiritual experience. 1/2
If ever an album cried out for a reissue, this is it.

Hello to all the new folks following us here 🙏 We’d love to recommend a starting point for you but tbh everything on the label is a portal into a wyrd world of someone’s making. Bandcamp has it all, jump in.

What do you get if you cross pianist Andrea Lam, composer Matthew Hindson and a robot camera arm courtesy of DOP Dave May? This little gem. Congrats to Andrea on her new album and new ABC TV show - not a bad week.

It’s great for dinner parties 😏

We’re in a golden age of horror right now and Australia plays a big part in that (hello Talk To Me). The Moogai is another great addition to that list, scary af Aussie flick from Jon Bell with an A plus local cast. Screening at the House next Thurs.

David Cronenberg’s ‘The Shrouds’ gets its Sydney premiere next week, part of the November cinema season at the House. I saw it at MIFF where the audience response was wild. It draws on many of his classic themes, thrilling and confounding in equal measure.

I visited Fairfield City Gallery yesterday for the opening of Tender by Curiousworks, four films from Western Sydney artists. The series premiered at the Opera House last month - this new iteration is a beautiful, intimate companion piece, on until 25 Jan.

Thom Yorke @ Sydney Opera House, November 2, 2024
I’m rewatching the X-Files, this time with the teenagers in the house. I can’t remember exactly when it jumped the shark, but I think there’s a couple of good seasons before I will be cringing from between my fingers and / or shouting at the TV.
I want to believe.
