David Lynch: Good Day Today - Page 22

I didn't know he was on "Cleveland" either... I watched like one episode, and didn't really like it (I'm totally burnt out on "Family Guy" as well)

as far as David Lynch being a "serious" director - you should also check out his 'absurdist comedy' called "On the Air" that he did while filming "Twin Peaks" -> it's weird, and kinda slapstick too...

but now the big question - How can you get a PROPER copy of the song?

I had no idea David Lynch made music at all.

Didn't he collaborate with MOBY?

That could be but Family Guy hasn't had anything to do with humor for a good 6 years.

Yeah, I tried watching the "newer" episodes of Family guy a few years ago and the comedy felt so forced...and after watching the reruns they show on tv from the early years, I have no intention to watch Family Guy ever again.

I logged into my girlfriend's twitter account and asked David Lynch if he plans on releasing the song. I doubt he'll respond, but it's worth a shot.

Sorry for the double-post, but I just saw this and it had me cracking up, especially because of the music in the background. Here's David Lynch's thoughts about watching a movie on an iPhone:

as far as "in the studio on a song together" - no, I don't think so...

but - David Lynch did do the video for Moby's "Shot in the Back of the Head"

and ... I think it was last year - or the year before it - David Lynch had a special day-long lecture series/ event out here near Iowa City (Fairfield, IA where the Maharishi University is)

part of the event was a live concert with Moby. Donovan also played
but I didn't get a chance to actually go

oh wait - I was going to post up a clip of Lynch's "Ghost of Love" but I found this

i guess they are collaborating...

Hah, funny that the very first thought I had with Good Day Today was "is this Moby?". Hopefully this track will get a proper release.

Yeah, the practically invariant beat is very Moby, as is the need to vocode the heck outta his voice for it to sound cool. But i guess it's DL's voice (maybe?). IF it were a Moby track, there'd be the inevitable 4 chord string melody - it tugged at the heartstrings with "God Moving Across the Face of the Waters" in 1995 or whatever, but sheesh, he overuses the tinkly pianos and strings.

I miss the old days where Moby made tracks like "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." That track is probably his peak moment to me; especially when you see it during the ending shot for the film Heat (don't get me started on that movie...so good). I even love his Animal Rights, which most people tend to pretend never happened. His newest album is good, but I don't know, it just doesn't have the same effect on me as his 90's material does. But in any case, "Good Day Today" reminds me of the good ol' 90's Moby and that's a good thing.

And that definitely sounds like DL's voice on the track.
