Music that Sir David Lynch should consider using for his movies
 

Top of my head:The Raevonettes.

Loads of Third Eye Foundation or Portishead.

Has anyone seen the new Lynch movie, Inland Empire? Its supposed to be his strangest movie yet, but apparently very good. Laura Dern is said to be very good in it.

Nurse With Wound, Lustmord. Busted

I think "Macbeth" could work....

He just won a court case to have the exclusive rights to his (digitally-shot) film. He is currently seeking a distributor that will be a partner.

I think Lynch plans to really get some dough from this one.

totally agree

Sir?

didn't realize he'd been knighted hehe

Burzum, Wu-Tang

Aphex Twin - Selected Ambient Works Volume II.

Volume II consists of slow, moody songs, performed much like ambient pioneer Brian Eno. Many of the tracks feature almost no percussion, and have strong synth textures. James said that the album is "like being in a power station on acid."<:D

Weird, but....Marissa Nadler. I just uploaded some of her albums into my iPod yesterday and spent whole night on a train to my hometown listening to them...The music is quite simple yet there's an element of eeriness and mystery that would fit Lynch's movies well, i guess

Suckdog

Glands of External Secretion

Dame D'arcy

Nora Keyes

Carla Bozulich

Some of Peter Gabriel's creepier sounding solo stuff would be good.

The Kingsmen - Louie Louie
anything by Scott Walker
anything by Charalambides

Ad Hvor Er I Snobbede - Krammemus

I would think much of "Warm and Cool" by Tom Verlaine would fit well.

double leopards
stars of the lid
charalambides
bohren und der club of gore
emeralds
machinefabrik
slow listener

yeah, the Badalementi stuff works perfect.

Svarte Greiner would also do the trick

he totally needs baldamenti back, his presense was noticably absent from inland empire.

some tunes i think that would work great:
lustmord
stockhausen "mikrophonie"
tim hecker
the more ominous less shredding kevin drumm stuff, like the well comppsed and thought out "imperial distortion"
metgumbnerbone
gary numan/guns n roses/black flag for that quintessential "los angeles" vibe"

his freaky surreal scenes would go great with Jean-Louis Costes's non music collage stuff. Costes is arguably the wierdest stuff on the planet.


This is really fun though, I want to do other directors.

Jodorowsky:
Pengo (very obvious considering thier debut full length was a jam set to the first 30 mins of the holy mountain)
Acid Mothers Temple and the Cosmic Inferno
Silvester Anfang
Les Rallizes Denudes
Neil Cambell and bands
AShNAv
Group Doueh (OH MY GOD THAT WOULD BE FUCKIN RIGHTEOUS)

Michael Mann (early; The Thief-Heat, etc.. Though I like some of his newer films too, hell I actually kinda enjoyed Miami Vice, it was jsut misunderstoof I think, Heat to me is the best action film ever, some flaws such as Pacino's occasional tendency to overact and some needless story lines are totally overshadowed by its sheer epicness, Pacino and Deniro on screen together for the first time really was phenomenal. And have you guys ever seen his early film "The Thief" that I just mentioned, super stylish crime film with James Caan in an absolutely electrifyyinh psychotic performance, the best ive seen gim really)

i cant think what wouild be good with him, most of his films I can't imagine without thier scores, which were always fairly good. Can anyone else see the titanic influence "heat" had on "the Dark Knight", it was probably that influence that made Nolan want to create a film far more ambitious than a comic action film would usually have. Wrong thread I know, but I've been digging Mann lately. Oh, and "The Insider", shit.

Sam Peckinpah:
Los Llamarada (for "Bring me the Head of Alfredo Garcia")
some band that does a great quiet/ominous thing and then turns into a chaotic/loud thing for "Straw Dogs" to mimic the film's building subtle intensity and eventual brutal climax. I guess Sonic Youth could work.

The Caretaker

Agree with the Carla Bozulich and Charalambides suggestions too

Heh, Jodorowsky should use Lau Nau since she already used melodies from the Holy Mountain soundtrain for the new album.

Whoa. Listening now.

I saw THE RAVEONETTES live back in 2003, Chicago, when they had a 4-members line up... it was pure sonic bliss, they were just great. Their first 2 albums are pure David Lynch material, for sure.
