i was considering hitting this as my end of the summer show tonight but, as before, i'm not the happiest about going outside today. and, i suspect i won't really like the crowd assembled there very much.

see, these are apparently written for david lynch shorts, meaning they're a kind of unauthorized rescoring, which strikes me as a pretty much debased form of art. like, he's literally touring with somebody else's backing tapes. lynch could probably sue him for everything he has, which i suspect is not much, if he wanted to.

on first contact, i just thought he was an electronic musician, and if you separate the music from the visuals, it does come off as relatively interesting on first listen - until you start to notice the heavy sampling from hit singles by van halen and seminal pieces by philip glass. so, he's not just recycling the backing tapes, he's recycling the music, too.

but, what that means is that i'm going to be walking into a room full of snobby film school grads, or film school grad wannabes which is even worse, and that's not exactly my idea of a good time. i mean, am i going to have to sit and watch the lynch shorts? is that the idea? this was more appealing to me when it was pure sound.

i'm going to eat soon and make a final choice, but as of right now i'm leaning on a skip. if i go, it's going to be more to check out the new bar than anything else.
