Tim Braden

Actually, I don't know much about him.

But his works just caught my eyes while browsing the web

and I'm absolutely fascinated by those.

Not only paintings, but sculptures, short films...

You can see more installation works on his website.

I'll dig him a bit more myself.

"Take This Waltz"

I'm glad that I didn't miss watching this in a theatre.

Sarah Polley is a very poetic and visual filmmaker,

Michelle Williams was amazing as usual.

I also quite like the styling of MW as well. 

So cute.

Take This Waltz

P.S. This song reverberated in my head for a few days

after watching the movie.

by Corinna Rose & The Rusty Horse Band

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.

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.

"Safety Not Guaranteed"

I saw this movie on a plane back from London last week.

It was a really adorable, lucky find.
