Fucking Nostalgic Presents... Magic Sundae: "Stomach, Texas"


With one host off on the other side of the country, Argon Fritz took it upon himself to produce this week's episode by himself, along with the help of the usual group of weirdos that accompany the studio during Magic Sundae recordings (Debbie, Jen, Redd and FN Editor-in-Chief Chris). This week is an excellent podcast featuring songs from Roy Orbison, Black Francis, The Carpenters, Lana Del Rey, The Cure, David Lynch, The Shirelles and even Nine Inch Nails. If that's not an eclectic mix for you, then I don't know what to say. So I won't. Listen below, and be sure to check out the playlist for last week's episode below.

Stream David Lynch's "Crazy Clown Time" In Its Entirety



Happy Halloween, everybody! Appropriately enough, the latest edition of that NPR "First Listen" series we all know and love is David Lynch's long-awaited new album Crazy Clown Time. Check it out in all of its weird, Karen O guesting glory right over here, and pre-order it for delivery when it drops on November 8 at Lynch's website

Well This Is Awesome: David Lynch -- "Pinky's Dream" (Feat. Karen O)


Well now. I kind of always assumed that, of all the tracks off of David Lynch's upcoming album Crazy Clown  Time, "Pinky's Dream" would be the clear standout. Chiefly because, when you invite Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs to rock vocals for you, outstanding things tend to happen - and when said vocals are on a track written by David F%^king Lynch, you know you're in for a great time.

Well thanks One Thirty BPM capturing the song's premiere on KCRW's Morning Becomes Eclectic, we now know that this song is indeed totally great. Slinky ghostly vocals over a driving beat produce a song that needs to appear again on the soundtrack to whatever David Lynch does next. Stream AND download it over here. You'll likely stream it several times, because it's very, very cool.

Of Course You Want To Watch The Trailer For David Lynch's "Crazy Clown Time"


Ever since we heard that acclaimed director of very weird things David Lynch is releasing his solo album, Crazy Clown Time, on November 8, we've been damn curious about what that would entail. We got a taste of the title track earlier this month, and now we have a trailer for the album that you can check out after the jump.

It consists pretty much entirely of in-studio footage, but since this is a thing that David Lynch is doing, it's naturally a bit stranger than that description conveys. I'm also a fan of the fact that the current top-ranked comment on the YouTube video is "thumbs up if you are watching this in the black lodge." Check it.

Listen To David Lynch's "Crazy Clown Time" (The Title Track) Now


Remember that time we told you that acclaimed bizarre filmmaker and TV director David Lynch is putting out an album called Crazy Clown Time next month (November 8)? Well that's... still happening, and now you can stream the title track of said album below. It sounds very much like something David Lynch would put out, which is less a cop-out of a description than an honestly accurate one.

You can also download it on David Lynch's Facebook page if you dig it. Check out the full tracklist below as well, along with that modified Mulholland Drive clip from last time because it's still very funny to me.

David Lynch Invites You To Join Him For "Crazy Clown Time"

Via Wait! Music
Cinematic master of the surreal (read: pretty damn weird) David Lynch is back with a new project... but unlike his famed works Twins Peaks, Eraserhead, and Mulholland Drive, this one isn't coming to a TV or movie screen near you. Lynch is stepping into a new medium and releasing his debut album, Crazy Clown Time (yep), via Sunday Best Recordings / PIAS on November 8.

The album's 14 original tracks see the filmmaker on vocals and guitar, and two tracks previewed late last year - "Good Day Today" and "I Know" - received some pretty interesting/hilarious feedback, as follows:

“Frightening effects and mysterious lyrics: this is Lynch's most unexpected venture to date.” -- The Los Angeles Times

“Every bit as pleasantly odd as you might imagine from Lynch.” -- The Washington Post

In another curveball move from a man known for curveballs, the album will also feature Karen O. from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs singing vocals on Crazy Clown Time's leadoff track "Pinky's Dream." Check out "Good Day Today" and "I Know" after the jump, as well as the full tracklist. And sure, let's see the second best scene from Mulholland Drive below too with some new sound effects.
