Speaking of David Lynch and bleak art and "Dead Man"


I was reading about Neko Case's album "Blacklisted"*, which is described as furthering her "country noir" mood — "lush, bleak, and atmospheric" — some adjectives that Peter Greenaway aspires to (hehe). Get this, cl and DW: "Case cited filmmaker David Lynch, composer Angelo Badalamenti, and Neil Young's soundtrack to the film 'Dead Man' as influences" for that album. Awesome. I love that a musician is inspired by something she saw at the movies.

* From Wikipedia: Some believe the title "Blacklisted" alludes to Case being banned for life from the Grand Ole Opry because she took her shirt off during a performance on August 4, 2001, though Case herself has denied this. Asked about the incident in 2004, Case said "I had heatstroke. People would love it to be a 'fuck you' punk thing. But it was actually a physical ailment thing."
