	9:43pm jeff-m: evening fine sir
	9:44pm northguineahills: daniel and bluminators!
	9:46pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ jeff-m @9:43 hi, jeff-m! thanx fer piloting the ship last week, Sire!
	9:46pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ northguineahills @9:44 ahoy, ngh!
	🌫 9:49pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ joe mulligan @9:42 Right. I refuse to acknowledge that scum-bag for at least today, his moment of glory. Tomorrow the misery starts in ernest.
	9:49pm ultradamno: ...more good sneaking music. c.tenor.com...
	9:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...well - loving the Set.
	9:51pm Deano de los Muertos: Good tunes, Daniel
	9:53pm spodiodi: nice set, Daniel!
	9:55pm spodiodi: Happy MLK Jr. Day
	9:58pm Deano de los Muertos: a nightjar is a cute bird, isn’t it?
	9:59pm herb.nyc: Ahem. Nightjar. Is a bird. But friends I know have recently formed a band, Nightjars. So there
	🌫 10:00pm Barney Grubbs: nightjars are caprimulgiformes (and also cute little bug-eating birds)
	10:01pm jeff-m: Straight STory is incredible
	10:03pm ultradamno: I wish he had done a short of George Jones' lawnmower ride as a Straight Story companion piece...that Jones would do a duck voice on occasion seems additionally Lynchian
	10:06pm ultradamno: What Did Jack Do? was also wonderful. Fire (Pozar) a short he did after that one, is here www.youtube.com...
	10:06pm headcleaner: If only Lynch had done RotJ - it would have been a flop or near-flop commercial-wise of course, panned as "overdrawn", "bombastic", etc. And it would have brought the SW juggernaut to a grinding halt (as a money-making machine for the studios). But it would have redeemed its very soul, as a creative enterprise -- thus enabling future generations of forks and re-interpretations.
	10:07pm Kat in the chat: Following on from ultra’s Philadelphia Weekly link, I have just found that I live a ten minute walk from David Lynch’s former rowhome in Fairmount. I’ve walked by it many times but didn’t know its history. Obviously I have a destination for my next walk around the neighborhood.
	10:07pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "And God Created Adam with his own Hands (А Бог Ад... Слава богу!
	🌫 10:08pm newton: we just hit 0º
	10:10pm ultradamno: By the way, Lynch and Chrystabell's The Train is now out chrystabellmusic.bandcamp.com...
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:10 (reissue, that is "NEW EXTRA ADDITION EXCLUSIVE FOR THE RE-ISSUE: 12 x 12 insert art print featuring hand written lyrics to Swing With Me on one side and original graphic by Todd Gallopo on the other and 12 x 12 David Lynch rare image printed on vellum Place art print under vellum image - voila! Ready for a frame! Inserts included in every vinyl package. ")
	10:11pm Mark T: ↳ ultradamno @9:14 WOW! I just took a quick glance eat the article and will finish it later. I am born and raised just across the bridge from Philly in Jersey. Couldn't tell you if its ever had a time when it was clean and safe. To be fair, I have spent substantial periods of time away from the area. Have family that lived is South Philly back in the mid 60's. It was a garbage pit.
	10:11pm thesecoronalives: inaug 2017 is what brought me to wfmu; realized on the drive home from work that 'all things considered' was just too much to handle that day, and stumbled upon the elixir of 'shut up wierdo.' and it is here that I have remained..
	🌫 10:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ thesecoronalives @10:11 It's the place to be!
	10:12pm thesecoronalives: love you all,; you nameless, faceless fmu compatriots.
	10:13pm Mike W.: Daniel I am here
	10:17pm DJ MF: RPM was such a great release from ‘24. Thanks for playing, Daniel!
	10:17pm ultradamno: Commonly called a weirdo for his work, but seemingly everyone he worked with have lovely things to say.
	10:17pm matt: woo this is great
	10:17pm Daniel Blumin: Some links fer LA fire aid - mutualaidla.org www.habitatla.org
	🌫 10:17pm Mark Hurst: ↳ Song: "Volans" by "Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil" Clicky starred this!
	10:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ thesecoronalives @10:12 great to have ya, theseclives!
	10:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Mike W. @10:13 Thank goodness, Mike W!
	10:19pm Mike W.: @thesecoronalives It’s a pretty great self-contained yet not closed off world, been working for me since a long drive away from NYC at election time 1992. Traffic was at a standstill and I had clear reception of FMU for almost 5 hours.
	10:19pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @10:17 Agreed, DJ MF! Check out Jeck session on my show when you get a chance!
	10:19pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ matt @10:17 glad ya digg, matt!
	🌫 10:20pm joe mulligan: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:49 resist! unite!
	10:21pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sketch Two" by "Philip Jeck & Claire M Singer" Might that be Philip J's last album?
	10:21pm thesecoronalives: @Mike W.: it is a true refuge; perhaps the last space on the internet where the chat boards look like this..
	10:23pm Ike: Lynch took Dune instead of Star Wars: RotJ and had such a bad experience on Dune that he resolved to never do sci-fi again. It's too bad, as I would've loved to see another, weirder, more personal SF film from Lynch at some point. Not Star Wars though. IMHO, RotJ would have defeated or demoralized him (more than Dune) with its dreadful script. But that was never close to being a reality anyway, if you read the behind-the-scenes stuff. (I'll post a long Lynch quote on this later.)
	10:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Volans" by "Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil" this is loverly!
	10:27pm DJ MF: Will check the Jeck session after tonight’s show. This too is wunderbar…. Volans by Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil. Massive thank you’s!
	10:27pm headcleaner: ↳ Mark T @10:11 Thanks for the mention of the PW article on Lynch, @MarkT + @ultrademo. I lived in South Philly in the mid-late aughts + can confirm that while it was mostly far from gentrified and still definitely had a certain je ne sais quoi -- by then it was very far from a garbage pit, and generally quite safe. I don't know if Lynch had a connection to that part of town - but the Fairmount / Spring Garden districts seemed to be definitely more of his aura, in any case
	10:28pm StringOFperils: IMO, the Lynch/DeLaurentis DUNE is the best and only Dune there will ever be. That novel deserved far worse; if he could only have cranked up the camp even more.
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @10:27 Thanks fer listening, DJ MF! All hail ngh!
	10:30pm Mike W.: damn, Daniel
	10:31pm greg technology: This is fantastic
	10:32pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks, fellas!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: Love this set
	10:33pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:32 Thanks, Kat! It's the warmerizer set!
	10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: first class segue
	10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 with slippers and endless ice cream sundaes...
	10:39pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Rousaliy Tunes" by "Shain Kourtov" Radiant, joyful, healing
	10:43pm Ike: ↳ Ike @10:23 "I was asked by George to come up... and talk to him about directing [what] would be the third Star Wars. And I had next-door to zero interest, but I always admired George... you know George is a guy that does what he loves, and I do what I love, the difference is what George loves makes hundreds of billions of dollars. So I thought I should go up and... visit with him and it was incredible. I had to go to this building in LA first and get a special credit card and I had to get special keys... and a map and, um, then I went to the airport and I flew up and then they had a rental car all ready for me... I was to drive to this place and I came into an office and there was George... he said, 'I want to show you something', and right about at this time I started to get a little bit of a headache... so he took me upstairs and he showed me these things called Wookies. And now this headache is gettin’, you know, gettin’ stronger. And he showed me many animals and different things. Then he took me for a ride in his Ferrari for a lunch and George is, ah, kind of short, so... his seat was way back and he was almost lying down in the car, and we were flying through this little town up in northern California we went to a restaurant—not that I don’t like salad but that’s all they had was salad—then I got a really, like, almost like a migraine headache and I could hardly wait to get to home, and even before I got home I kind of crawled into a phone booth and called my agent and said there was no way no way I could do this. He said, 'David David David calm down you don’t have to do this.' And, um, so George, bless his heart, I told him on the phone the next day that he should direct it, it’s his film, he’d invented everything about it, but he doesn’t really love directing... But uh... I called my lawyer and told him I wasn’t going to do it and he said you just lost I-don’t-know-how-many millions of dollars but it’s okay.'"
	10:45pm Daniel Blumin: tom tom, who says no to slippers and sundaes??? Aye, headcleaner!
	10:46pm StringOFperils: Lucas. The whore of Babylon.
	10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:45 i'm ashamed of my referent but glad you got it..
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucas made the point that StarWars was made for 12 year olds & people forget that.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho it was '2001' that actually disturbed me in the oddest way @ 10 years old or so...
	10:51pm ultradamno: As much as he's associated with dark fantasy/horror, I don't know if scifi, particularly with action ever could have worked for him. You really have to have everything locked in before you shoot and Lynch really liked to make the most of unanticipated things....
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch was a Surrealist painter.
	10:52pm Glistener MW: ↳ Ike @10:43 That's incredible!!! Thanks for that history + quote -- I never knew any of that!
	10:53pm carlos danger: Lucas: OK this scene is set in this rough bar on Tatooine full of scumbags who will slit your throat open just for looking at them funny. Wiliams: Got it. What kind of music is playing in this bar? Lucas: Light jazz.
	10:55pm carlos danger: ↳ ultradamno @10:51 My favorite story about this is when he saw a gaffer on the set of Twin Peaks and he was like, that’s it, that’s Bob. And the gaffer said OK what should I wear, and Lynch said no, don’t change, just wear what you’re wearing now
	10:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:50 People forgot they weren't 12 year olds. And the entire economic model of Hollywood was irrevocably reversed. the years when funding for films like Fat City and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, And Day of the Locust, and The Last Detail got nixed in favor of solely making big box-office, so all you get is Marvel universe and 'real' auteurs work in the Netflix ghetto or sell real-estate or something. Lucas is like the man who killed art.
	10:57pm StringOFperils: But I guess that trend was going to happen probably...historical strangeness.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speilberg eulogized Lynch as making Films that seemed handmade. Speilberg & Lucas ushered in the era of Blockbuster Spectacles. Maybe they have in common being of a similar age cohort & being kids @ a similar time that then become forces in the Industry.
	10:58pm Ike: ↳ Glistener MW @10:52 www.benningtonreview.org...
	10:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @10:56 Zackly. Lynch was like a reach back to that in a way. Maybe some relation to Tim Burton or somebody...
	10:59pm StringOFperils: I liked Lynch's cameo as John Ford in Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans'. That was a tribute to all 3 directors.
	11:00pm Ike: ↳ ultradamno @10:51 Maybe something by Tarkovsky or in that mood/area? It'd have to be a SF art film (a tough sell at any time in film history), not an action film.
	11:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch said he related more to European Cinema. Tho his films were very much in the USA - or a USA... I'm also gratified to learn I'm not alone in seeing parity to Kubrick - & that Lynch & Kubrick were mutual admirers.
	11:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dum Dum" by "Panama North feat. Tehseen Wajahat" dug this one!
	11:05pm ultradamno: Yeah, there's a kind of scifi Cronenberg played with where tech is psychological and physical that he could have worked with, but maybe avoided because he was already there. Imagine his The Substance...
	11:07pm ultradamno: ...or Infinity Pool, for that matter
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: good evening Daniel and all
	🌫 11:07pm newton: outta juice, will hear youse again in the chive
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah there's also the B-Movie culture where Horror & SciFi have been allowed to play. Lynch might have been able to operate in collaboration there somewhere. Possibly. @ that rate, one thinks of the discussion of how Horror has always misappropriated & ripped off Surrealism - to put it uncharitably...
	11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:57 if films aren't "handmade" (which i think is an awkward description for filmmaking, films are not furniture) what are they...cyborg-made?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 ...that is - that was really unnecessary for Lynch. He did that on his own as much as he cared to.
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 They are now.
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 harry smith's films were "handmade".
	11:11pm ultradamno: Though surrealism went to horror too...The Exterminating Angel comes to mind and certainly Caligari is equal parts
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 StopMotion Animation is pretty handmade I'd posit - in contrast to CGI... The same way Analog sound effects in the 1960s were compared to AI plugins now. You don't just press the same button as everyone else - & you get a unique thing every time.
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:11 Yeah Horror started in Germany related to Expressionism. Influence happens...
	11:14pm ultradamno: ...and Dali's contributions to Spellbound (not strictly speaking horror, but Hitch).
	11:14pm 7uring7est: ↳ Song: "Value Addled (excerpt)" by "Bren't Lewiis Ensemble" Is freaking my dog out
	11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: lynch and cronenberg do overlap a little in the "body revulsion" dept...lynch...the baby in eraserhead....cronenberg...countless examples, but lets say slither, maybe lynch could have gone more into that sort of horror into fulci territory
	11:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Value Addled (excerpt)" by "Bren't Lewiis Ensemble" sounds like the insides of me noggin...
	11:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ 7uring7est @11:14 Hopefully, this'll be better 7uring!
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wonder if Lynch & Tim Burton had any truck with each other. & there's Guillermo del Toro... Thing is - I'm not really a Film enthusiast beyond some Genre specialities.
	11:19pm ultradamno: Exterminating Angel was almost Buñuel's Twilight Zone, such a great movie. That was a good time for the series, The Flight That Disappeared came out the year before, a less remarkable but more noticeable stab at making a movie of that aesthetic
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:11 yeah, but it's the visionary that's the goal.... would he be futzing around on a computer today ...idk
	11:19pm 7uring7est: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:18 I'll let Toffee know your concerned
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch got to publishing things online.
	11:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 I have noticed that the webseries each had (Dumbland and Stainboy) in the early noughts have certain similarities (black line drawings on white backgrounds).
	11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:12 that's true too, and harryhausen effects are so superior to cgi....i guess i think of filmmaking as montage being the most important and that's a mental game
	11:23pm ultradamno: John Waters openly talks not only of his admiration for Lynch but certain similarities they had in humor and a love/hate for '50s culture
	11:23pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Automatic Popular Music: VI" by "Nicola Ratti" Ready to float off on this
	11:24pm ultradamno: key2eraserhead.com
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:22 Well - Orson Wells said Cinema is only good when the Camera is an Eye in the head of a Poet. But Film is also this big Organizational Production. Yerknow - incorporates everything from Design to Sound to Seamstresses to Caterers. Mad really... Always think of Directing as making Reality Dance for you...
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 Have wondered about them.
	11:27pm ultradamno: I know when Jodorowsky, not one to downplay his harsh comments, talks about how things went with his Dune project, he's quick to spare Lynch direct criticism for (calling him a true artist) while trashing the film and studio
	11:28pm titi: Daniel my lov....thought you might play some Paris Sisters as a tribute to our beloved David....LOVURWAY.....
	11:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "With Rift" by "Mitchell Akiyama" i believe the only mitchell akiyama i have is on raster-noton.
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:25 you can make film without all that though....you can re edit films to make a new film...or the lumiere bros, workers exiting a factory
	11:31pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ titi @11:28 Started w/ some Ghost Love! Big hugz!
	11:33pm ultradamno: I'm not sure if Lanthimos has talked about Lynch, but Lynch loved Dogtooth faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:29 countless 'experimental' films
	11:35pm StringOFperils: Just watched Kinds of Kindness. Not sure what to think about it.
	11:37pm ultradamno: ↳ StringOFperils @11:35 My favorite of last year...I'm a sucker for interconnected anthologies....like Wild Tales. Del Toro on Lynch www.youtube.com...
	11:38pm DJ MF: Beautiful. Xerrox Ascent II by Alva Noto (Xerrox Vol. 5) Absolutely fantastic show tonight, Daniel. Kudos, props and massives.
	11:38pm kendraplex: I just love it
	11:39pm ultradamno: It's kind of endearing to think of Del Toro starstruck like that
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Xerrox Ascent II" by "Alva Noto" all the lynch talk is making me see this as a lynch score the great segue too
	11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ingression...nice word...surprised haven't seen before
	11:42pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @11:38 Tanx lots, DJ MF + kendraplex!
	11:43pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 tom tom, in my head, this whole show is for David...
	11:43pm StringOFperils: Del Toro did this 3 evening presentation of Bunuel's Mexican films here at TIFF in Toronto, where he talked endlessly about Bunuel. Total fan boy. With encyclopaedic knowledge.
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Ingression" by "Zenjungle" nice...i mean ...not nice
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:43 maybe he's listening...
	11:45pm Minky: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:43 This is the perfect place to be right now. I think DL would agree.
	11:45pm ultradamno: Guy Maddin cites Lynch as the reason he picked up a camera www.brandonsun.com... Quentin Dupieux likes him but doesn't care to be compared to him www.indiewire.com...
	🌫 11:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ kendraplex @11:38 Kendra, how's it going in the magazine factory?
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @11:43 wow that's mental
	11:46pm StringOFperils: I'm glad David Lynch didn't have to witness today. 'Blue sky and sunshine all along the way.'
	🌫 11:46pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Minky @11:45 Hey Minky!
	🌫 11:47pm Chef Of The Future: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:43 Nicely said Daniel. Great show.
	11:47pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Minky @11:45 Thank you, Minky!!!
	11:47pm Minky: ↳ Franco Twinkie @11:46 Hi Franco! I always come back! This is the best place to be.

	🌫 11:48pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ Minky @11:47 I'll say! The first place I ever made a comment.
	11:49pm spodiodi: thank you, Daniel loved the show
	11:50pm jar: I'll always choose literature over film....of course a beautiful debate...I'll take Edgar Allan Poe over David Lynch....Why Not......
	11:51pm Minky: WFMU has been a great listen today. I'll take music over films and I adore films.
	11:51pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ jar @11:50 are you wally cox? re: the twilight zone epi...
	🌫 11:52pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:51 Henry Bemis, HA!
	11:52pm Minky: Thanks Daniel! Wonderful listen!
	11:52pm ultradamno: I'll take a Poe movie with Vincent Price over Poe, always
	11:53pm carlos danger: The music tonght was a much-needed balm. Thank you, Daniel
	11:54pm Minky: ↳ carlos danger @11:53 Best balm ever.
	🌫 11:54pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ ultradamno @11:52 I'll take Vincent Price as The Last Man on Earth over just about anything.
	11:54pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:51 sorry it was burgess meredith...time enough at last

	9:55pm spodiodi: Happy MLK Jr. Day
	9:58pm Deano de los Muertos: a nightjar is a cute bird, isn’t it?
	9:59pm herb.nyc: Ahem. Nightjar. Is a bird. But friends I know have recently formed a band, Nightjars. So there
	🌫 10:00pm Barney Grubbs: nightjars are caprimulgiformes (and also cute little bug-eating birds)
	10:01pm jeff-m: Straight STory is incredible
	10:03pm ultradamno: I wish he had done a short of George Jones' lawnmower ride as a Straight Story companion piece...that Jones would do a duck voice on occasion seems additionally Lynchian
	10:06pm ultradamno: What Did Jack Do? was also wonderful. Fire (Pozar) a short he did after that one, is here www.youtube.com...
	10:06pm headcleaner: If only Lynch had done RotJ - it would have been a flop or near-flop commercial-wise of course, panned as "overdrawn", "bombastic", etc. And it would have brought the SW juggernaut to a grinding halt (as a money-making machine for the studios). But it would have redeemed its very soul, as a creative enterprise -- thus enabling future generations of forks and re-interpretations.
	10:07pm Kat in the chat: Following on from ultra’s Philadelphia Weekly link, I have just found that I live a ten minute walk from David Lynch’s former rowhome in Fairmount. I’ve walked by it many times but didn’t know its history. Obviously I have a destination for my next walk around the neighborhood.
	10:07pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "And God Created Adam with his own Hands (А Бог Ад... Слава богу!
	🌫 10:08pm newton: we just hit 0º
	10:10pm ultradamno: By the way, Lynch and Chrystabell's The Train is now out chrystabellmusic.bandcamp.com...
	10:11pm ultradamno: ↳ ultradamno @10:10 (reissue, that is "NEW EXTRA ADDITION EXCLUSIVE FOR THE RE-ISSUE: 12 x 12 insert art print featuring hand written lyrics to Swing With Me on one side and original graphic by Todd Gallopo on the other and 12 x 12 David Lynch rare image printed on vellum Place art print under vellum image - voila! Ready for a frame! Inserts included in every vinyl package. ")
	10:11pm Mark T: ↳ ultradamno @9:14 WOW! I just took a quick glance eat the article and will finish it later. I am born and raised just across the bridge from Philly in Jersey. Couldn't tell you if its ever had a time when it was clean and safe. To be fair, I have spent substantial periods of time away from the area. Have family that lived is South Philly back in the mid 60's. It was a garbage pit.
	10:11pm thesecoronalives: inaug 2017 is what brought me to wfmu; realized on the drive home from work that 'all things considered' was just too much to handle that day, and stumbled upon the elixir of 'shut up wierdo.' and it is here that I have remained..
	🌫 10:12pm Ken From Hyde Park: ↳ thesecoronalives @10:11 It's the place to be!
	10:12pm thesecoronalives: love you all,; you nameless, faceless fmu compatriots.
	10:13pm Mike W.: Daniel I am here
	10:17pm DJ MF: RPM was such a great release from ‘24. Thanks for playing, Daniel!
	10:17pm ultradamno: Commonly called a weirdo for his work, but seemingly everyone he worked with have lovely things to say.
	10:17pm matt: woo this is great
	10:17pm Daniel Blumin: Some links fer LA fire aid - mutualaidla.org www.habitatla.org
	🌫 10:17pm Mark Hurst: ↳ Song: "Volans" by "Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil" Clicky starred this!
	10:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ thesecoronalives @10:12 great to have ya, theseclives!
	10:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Mike W. @10:13 Thank goodness, Mike W!
	10:19pm Mike W.: @thesecoronalives It’s a pretty great self-contained yet not closed off world, been working for me since a long drive away from NYC at election time 1992. Traffic was at a standstill and I had clear reception of FMU for almost 5 hours.
	10:19pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @10:17 Agreed, DJ MF! Check out Jeck session on my show when you get a chance!
	10:19pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ matt @10:17 glad ya digg, matt!
	🌫 10:20pm joe mulligan: ↳ Franco Twinkie @9:49 resist! unite!
	10:21pm TDK60: ↳ Song: "Sketch Two" by "Philip Jeck & Claire M Singer" Might that be Philip J's last album?
	10:21pm thesecoronalives: @Mike W.: it is a true refuge; perhaps the last space on the internet where the chat boards look like this..
	10:23pm Ike: Lynch took Dune instead of Star Wars: RotJ and had such a bad experience on Dune that he resolved to never do sci-fi again. It's too bad, as I would've loved to see another, weirder, more personal SF film from Lynch at some point. Not Star Wars though. IMHO, RotJ would have defeated or demoralized him (more than Dune) with its dreadful script. But that was never close to being a reality anyway, if you read the behind-the-scenes stuff. (I'll post a long Lynch quote on this later.)
	10:27pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Volans" by "Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil" this is loverly!
	10:27pm DJ MF: Will check the Jeck session after tonight’s show. This too is wunderbar…. Volans by Miguel A. García & Ruben Gil. Massive thank you’s!
	10:27pm headcleaner: ↳ Mark T @10:11 Thanks for the mention of the PW article on Lynch, @MarkT + @ultrademo. I lived in South Philly in the mid-late aughts + can confirm that while it was mostly far from gentrified and still definitely had a certain je ne sais quoi -- by then it was very far from a garbage pit, and generally quite safe. I don't know if Lynch had a connection to that part of town - but the Fairmount / Spring Garden districts seemed to be definitely more of his aura, in any case
	10:28pm StringOFperils: IMO, the Lynch/DeLaurentis DUNE is the best and only Dune there will ever be. That novel deserved far worse; if he could only have cranked up the camp even more.
	10:29pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @10:27 Thanks fer listening, DJ MF! All hail ngh!
	10:30pm Mike W.: damn, Daniel
	10:31pm greg technology: This is fantastic
	10:32pm Daniel Blumin: Thanks, fellas!
	10:32pm Kat in the chat: Love this set
	10:33pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ Kat in the chat @10:32 Thanks, Kat! It's the warmerizer set!
	10:35pm tom tom the pipers son: first class segue
	10:38pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @10:35 with slippers and endless ice cream sundaes...
	10:39pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Rousaliy Tunes" by "Shain Kourtov" Radiant, joyful, healing
	10:43pm Ike: ↳ Ike @10:23 "I was asked by George to come up... and talk to him about directing [what] would be the third Star Wars. And I had next-door to zero interest, but I always admired George... you know George is a guy that does what he loves, and I do what I love, the difference is what George loves makes hundreds of billions of dollars. So I thought I should go up and... visit with him and it was incredible. I had to go to this building in LA first and get a special credit card and I had to get special keys... and a map and, um, then I went to the airport and I flew up and then they had a rental car all ready for me... I was to drive to this place and I came into an office and there was George... he said, 'I want to show you something', and right about at this time I started to get a little bit of a headache... so he took me upstairs and he showed me these things called Wookies. And now this headache is gettin’, you know, gettin’ stronger. And he showed me many animals and different things. Then he took me for a ride in his Ferrari for a lunch and George is, ah, kind of short, so... his seat was way back and he was almost lying down in the car, and we were flying through this little town up in northern California we went to a restaurant—not that I don’t like salad but that’s all they had was salad—then I got a really, like, almost like a migraine headache and I could hardly wait to get to home, and even before I got home I kind of crawled into a phone booth and called my agent and said there was no way no way I could do this. He said, 'David David David calm down you don’t have to do this.' And, um, so George, bless his heart, I told him on the phone the next day that he should direct it, it’s his film, he’d invented everything about it, but he doesn’t really love directing... But uh... I called my lawyer and told him I wasn’t going to do it and he said you just lost I-don’t-know-how-many millions of dollars but it’s okay.'"
	10:45pm Daniel Blumin: tom tom, who says no to slippers and sundaes??? Aye, headcleaner!
	10:46pm StringOFperils: Lucas. The whore of Babylon.
	10:48pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Daniel Blumin @10:45 i'm ashamed of my referent but glad you got it..
	10:50pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lucas made the point that StarWars was made for 12 year olds & people forget that.
	10:51pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ...tho it was '2001' that actually disturbed me in the oddest way @ 10 years old or so...
	10:51pm ultradamno: As much as he's associated with dark fantasy/horror, I don't know if scifi, particularly with action ever could have worked for him. You really have to have everything locked in before you shoot and Lynch really liked to make the most of unanticipated things....
	10:52pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch was a Surrealist painter.
	10:52pm Glistener MW: ↳ Ike @10:43 That's incredible!!! Thanks for that history + quote -- I never knew any of that!
	10:53pm carlos danger: Lucas: OK this scene is set in this rough bar on Tatooine full of scumbags who will slit your throat open just for looking at them funny. Wiliams: Got it. What kind of music is playing in this bar? Lucas: Light jazz.
	10:55pm carlos danger: ↳ ultradamno @10:51 My favorite story about this is when he saw a gaffer on the set of Twin Peaks and he was like, that’s it, that’s Bob. And the gaffer said OK what should I wear, and Lynch said no, don’t change, just wear what you’re wearing now
	10:56pm StringOFperils: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:50 People forgot they weren't 12 year olds. And the entire economic model of Hollywood was irrevocably reversed. the years when funding for films like Fat City and They Shoot Horses, Don't They?, And Day of the Locust, and The Last Detail got nixed in favor of solely making big box-office, so all you get is Marvel universe and 'real' auteurs work in the Netflix ghetto or sell real-estate or something. Lucas is like the man who killed art.
	10:57pm StringOFperils: But I guess that trend was going to happen probably...historical strangeness.
	10:57pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Speilberg eulogized Lynch as making Films that seemed handmade. Speilberg & Lucas ushered in the era of Blockbuster Spectacles. Maybe they have in common being of a similar age cohort & being kids @ a similar time that then become forces in the Industry.
	10:58pm Ike: ↳ Glistener MW @10:52 www.benningtonreview.org...
	10:59pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ StringOFperils @10:56 Zackly. Lynch was like a reach back to that in a way. Maybe some relation to Tim Burton or somebody...
	10:59pm StringOFperils: I liked Lynch's cameo as John Ford in Spielberg's 'The Fabelmans'. That was a tribute to all 3 directors.
	11:00pm Ike: ↳ ultradamno @10:51 Maybe something by Tarkovsky or in that mood/area? It'd have to be a SF art film (a tough sell at any time in film history), not an action film.
	11:02pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch said he related more to European Cinema. Tho his films were very much in the USA - or a USA... I'm also gratified to learn I'm not alone in seeing parity to Kubrick - & that Lynch & Kubrick were mutual admirers.
	11:04pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Dum Dum" by "Panama North feat. Tehseen Wajahat" dug this one!
	11:05pm ultradamno: Yeah, there's a kind of scifi Cronenberg played with where tech is psychological and physical that he could have worked with, but maybe avoided because he was already there. Imagine his The Substance...
	11:07pm ultradamno: ...or Infinity Pool, for that matter
	11:07pm coelacanth∅: good evening Daniel and all
	🌫 11:07pm newton: outta juice, will hear youse again in the chive
	11:08pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Yeah there's also the B-Movie culture where Horror & SciFi have been allowed to play. Lynch might have been able to operate in collaboration there somewhere. Possibly. @ that rate, one thinks of the discussion of how Horror has always misappropriated & ripped off Surrealism - to put it uncharitably...
	11:09pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @10:57 if films aren't "handmade" (which i think is an awkward description for filmmaking, films are not furniture) what are they...cyborg-made?
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:08 ...that is - that was really unnecessary for Lynch. He did that on his own as much as he cared to.
	11:09pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 They are now.
	11:11pm northguineahills: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 harry smith's films were "handmade".
	11:11pm ultradamno: Though surrealism went to horror too...The Exterminating Angel comes to mind and certainly Caligari is equal parts
	11:12pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:09 StopMotion Animation is pretty handmade I'd posit - in contrast to CGI... The same way Analog sound effects in the 1960s were compared to AI plugins now. You don't just press the same button as everyone else - & you get a unique thing every time.
	11:13pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:11 Yeah Horror started in Germany related to Expressionism. Influence happens...
	11:14pm ultradamno: ...and Dali's contributions to Spellbound (not strictly speaking horror, but Hitch).
	11:14pm 7uring7est: ↳ Song: "Value Addled (excerpt)" by "Bren't Lewiis Ensemble" Is freaking my dog out
	11:15pm tom tom the pipers son: lynch and cronenberg do overlap a little in the "body revulsion" dept...lynch...the baby in eraserhead....cronenberg...countless examples, but lets say slither, maybe lynch could have gone more into that sort of horror into fulci territory
	11:16pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "Value Addled (excerpt)" by "Bren't Lewiis Ensemble" sounds like the insides of me noggin...
	11:18pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ 7uring7est @11:14 Hopefully, this'll be better 7uring!
	11:18pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: I wonder if Lynch & Tim Burton had any truck with each other. & there's Guillermo del Toro... Thing is - I'm not really a Film enthusiast beyond some Genre specialities.
	11:19pm ultradamno: Exterminating Angel was almost Buñuel's Twilight Zone, such a great movie. That was a good time for the series, The Flight That Disappeared came out the year before, a less remarkable but more noticeable stab at making a movie of that aesthetic
	11:19pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ northguineahills @11:11 yeah, but it's the visionary that's the goal.... would he be futzing around on a computer today ...idk
	11:19pm 7uring7est: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:18 I'll let Toffee know your concerned
	11:20pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: Lynch got to publishing things online.
	11:21pm ultradamno: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:18 I have noticed that the webseries each had (Dumbland and Stainboy) in the early noughts have certain similarities (black line drawings on white backgrounds).
	11:22pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:12 that's true too, and harryhausen effects are so superior to cgi....i guess i think of filmmaking as montage being the most important and that's a mental game
	11:23pm ultradamno: John Waters openly talks not only of his admiration for Lynch but certain similarities they had in humor and a love/hate for '50s culture
	11:23pm headcleaner: ↳ Song: "Automatic Popular Music: VI" by "Nicola Ratti" Ready to float off on this
	11:24pm ultradamno: key2eraserhead.com
	11:25pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:22 Well - Orson Wells said Cinema is only good when the Camera is an Eye in the head of a Poet. But Film is also this big Organizational Production. Yerknow - incorporates everything from Design to Sound to Seamstresses to Caterers. Mad really... Always think of Directing as making Reality Dance for you...
	11:26pm Revolution Rabbit Nov63: ↳ ultradamno @11:23 Have wondered about them.
	11:27pm ultradamno: I know when Jodorowsky, not one to downplay his harsh comments, talks about how things went with his Dune project, he's quick to spare Lynch direct criticism for (calling him a true artist) while trashing the film and studio
	11:28pm titi: Daniel my lov....thought you might play some Paris Sisters as a tribute to our beloved David....LOVURWAY.....
	11:29pm northguineahills: ↳ Song: "With Rift" by "Mitchell Akiyama" i believe the only mitchell akiyama i have is on raster-noton.
	11:29pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Revolution Rabbit Nov63 @11:25 you can make film without all that though....you can re edit films to make a new film...or the lumiere bros, workers exiting a factory
	11:31pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ titi @11:28 Started w/ some Ghost Love! Big hugz!
	11:33pm ultradamno: I'm not sure if Lanthimos has talked about Lynch, but Lynch loved Dogtooth faroutmagazine.co.uk...
	11:34pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:29 countless 'experimental' films
	11:35pm StringOFperils: Just watched Kinds of Kindness. Not sure what to think about it.
	11:37pm ultradamno: ↳ StringOFperils @11:35 My favorite of last year...I'm a sucker for interconnected anthologies....like Wild Tales. Del Toro on Lynch www.youtube.com...
	11:38pm DJ MF: Beautiful. Xerrox Ascent II by Alva Noto (Xerrox Vol. 5) Absolutely fantastic show tonight, Daniel. Kudos, props and massives.
	11:38pm kendraplex: I just love it
	11:39pm ultradamno: It's kind of endearing to think of Del Toro starstruck like that
	11:40pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Xerrox Ascent II" by "Alva Noto" all the lynch talk is making me see this as a lynch score the great segue too
	11:42pm tom tom the pipers son: ingression...nice word...surprised haven't seen before
	11:42pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ DJ MF @11:38 Tanx lots, DJ MF + kendraplex!
	11:43pm Daniel Blumin: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:40 tom tom, in my head, this whole show is for David...
	11:43pm StringOFperils: Del Toro did this 3 evening presentation of Bunuel's Mexican films here at TIFF in Toronto, where he talked endlessly about Bunuel. Total fan boy. With encyclopaedic knowledge.
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Song: "Ingression" by "Zenjungle" nice...i mean ...not nice
	11:44pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:43 maybe he's listening...
	11:45pm Minky: ↳ Daniel Blumin @11:43 This is the perfect place to be right now. I think DL would agree.
	11:45pm ultradamno: Guy Maddin cites Lynch as the reason he picked up a camera www.brandonsun.com... Quentin Dupieux likes him but doesn't care to be compared to him www.indiewire.com...
	🌫 11:45pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ kendraplex @11:38 Kendra, how's it going in the magazine factory?
	11:45pm tom tom the pipers son: ↳ StringOFperils @11:43 wow that's mental
	11:46pm StringOFperils: I'm glad David Lynch didn't have to witness today. 'Blue sky and sunshine all along the way.'

	🌫 11:57pm Franco Twinkie: ↳ tom tom the pipers son @11:54 Probably my favorite Twilight Zone. That, and Willan Shatner vexed by a fortune telling machine with a plastic devil head on top.
	11:57pm ultradamno: My favorite Burt Reynolds performance is the Twilight Zone where he's doing a Brando impersonation
	11:58pm spodiodi: that only one rip track was played was refreshing
	11:58pm StringOFperils: Everyone in here can carry their favourite culture forward through the era of Imperialist Realism, to a place beyond somewhere, whatever that's gonna look like.
	11:58pm Minky: ↳ ultradamno @11:57 Check out Burt Reynolds on Carson when he shaved off half his moustache. Hilarious! So good!
