"Cinema is sound and picture both... 50/50 really" Privileged to have been asked to write this obit for @guardian discussing David Lynch's life in music, revisiting my interview around his astonishing final album with @LoveChrystabell Read here: theguardian.com/film/2025/jan/…

Interviewing David Lynch for the cover of @guardian Film & Music was a very precious experience to me - he was everything I'd hoped: funny, warm, insightful, generous with his ideas and praise. Here's something he said that I thought was especially beautiful #RIP #DavidLynch

"While he started out as a painter and found global fame as a director... Lynch maintained a passion for music all his life." Honoured to be asked by @guardian to write on David Lynch's life in music, revisiting my interview with him theguardian.com/film/2025/jan/… #RIP #DavidLynch

The word “Lynchian” is used 61 times in the Pitchfork reviews section and it would be quadruple that if we didn’t cut it all the time for being shopworn. He’s an entire genre of music without any taxonomy
