4 hours ago ‘Music is a magic’: how David Lynch used song and sound to transcend reality

He found global fame as a film-maker, but Lynch’s passion for music was life-long and resulted in work every bit as surreal as his moviesDavid Lynch, Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive director, dies aged 78David Lynch: the great American surrealist who made experimentalism mainstream‘Music,” David Lynch said when I spoke to him for the Guardian last year, “is a magic”. We were discussing the album Cellophane Memories, which he had produced with singer Chrystabell: a beautiful, dreamlike, archetypically Lynchian record, which – with his death this week at the age of 78 – would be his last.While he started out as a painter and found global fame as a director through surrealist masterpieces like Twin Peaks, Blue Velvet and Mulholland Drive, Lynch maintained a passion for music all his life – from his bizarre sonic experiments for film, to his own albums, to his collaborations with the likes of Julee Cruise, Flying Lotus and Angelo Badalamenti.

One afternoon, Rubeck came up with a frisky Strokes-like guitar riff, Rattigan whipped up the melody and lyrics and Surf Curse’s Freaks was born. “We wrote the song in like 30 minutes,” the singer says.A catchy song about alienation and longing, Freaks was released in 2013 and became a raucous highlight of their live shows but didn’t trouble the wider world until 2021, when it was discovered, out of the blue, by TikTok users. Its Spotify streams kept going up and up and up, until last March it passed a remarkable milestone.

28 hours ago My petty gripe: I just want one ding from speeding cyclists. How hard can it be?

It’s called a shared path for a reason, but a peaceful walkway can turn into something more like a racetrack My family recently moved house (still unpacking those last non-priority boxes) to a spot near a shared pedestrian/cyclist pathway and a few suburbs further from the CBD. We’re enjoying an easy hour’s walk most mornings. We pass wetland reserves full of bird calls and flowering trees and shrubs, eventually reaching the beach, and never needing to cross a road to get there.However another wheeled threat can spoil the serenity – the subset of cyclists who fly past pedestrians as if the shared pathway is a velodrome. It’s especially alarming when a cycling group whoosh-whoosh-whooshes past with never a bell sounded beforehand nor a slowing of speed. Now I appreciate that they are forced to pursue their hobby in a city that hates cyclists. And that many cyclists believe pedestrians will respond poorly if they sound their bell as they approach.
