Lana Del Rey "Blue Velvet"



This is a perfect track for her to cover.
The video looks too Lynch-conscious but well done.

"Blue Velvet"

Actually her music videos were always somewhat Lynch.
Death / Drive / Smoke

"National Anthem"

"Summertime Sadness"

"Blue Jeans"

"Carmen"

Another Lynchy adaptation of LDR.
Trashy but classy, not bad.

I found her so annoyingly overly hype 
but also irresistibly addictive.
Another kind of guilty pleasure now.

"Hotel Noir"


Hmmm....
another movie I'm not sure how to watch in Tokyo.

Film noir, shot in B&W, late 50s setting...yum.

Rufus Sewell, Carla Gugino, Malin Ackerman,
Danny DeVito, Robert Forster, Kevin Connolly,
Rosario Dawson, Mandy Moore, etc.
Pretty good casting too.

10 Minutes Preview
(Actually I quite like Mandy Moore)


Fiona Apple "Across the Universe"


I really loved this song and also video.


 This beautiful cover and the following album shows 
how mighty she was at that time.
All videos were directed by then-boyfriend
Paul Thomas Anderson.
Not fair for her, but I can't stop thinking
what if she was still with him.

"Fast As You Can"

"Paper Bag"

"Limp"

I listened her new album "The Idler Wheel..." last week.
Actually I was not sure what I should expect, 
but it sounded surprisingly comforting.

So, I thought she might be in a good state now.
Well, poor Fiona....




September Soundtrack 2: Breakbot


This is maybe more May or June than September.
Very happy pop music, love him.


"Baby I'm Yours feat. Irfane"
I still think this is fxxkin' charming music video..

"Fantasy feat. Ruckazoid"

"One Out Of Two feat. Irfane"
The latter half of this video is very Lynchy.

September Soundtrack 1: Benny Sings


I thought it might not be a bad idea 
to fly to Amsterdam and wander around.
It's only because Benny Sings is creating 
these beautiful music there.


"Can You Believe It's Magic"

"Big Brown Eyes"

"Champagne People"

John Stezaker


What a shame that I didn't know about him earlier.
Unique conceptual collage works.












Robert Marc Aviator Shades


Added to my collections recently.
The summer is over now, 
but looking forward my next beach holiday :)





"Safety Not Guaranteed"


I saw this movie on a plane back from London last week.
It was a really adorable, lucky find.
