Iconic filmmaker and all around scary dude David Lynch &Musical Good Guy Danger Mouse have finally collaborated creating a haunted and unique look at film and music together. Compiling a hardcover book of over 50 photos accompanied with an album to go with it including rock recluse Sparklehorse, Julian Casablancas, Frank Black, Iggy Pop, Nina Perrson and more. Reviews of the show from its L.A. opening sound promising and even more promising is the preview of the album on NPR’s website. The songs are upbeat, dark, and even catchy. If you don’t go you will regret it.
