Club Silencio

David Lynch has decided to get into the nightclub game (perhaps inspired by Brandon Walsh and the Peach Pit After Dark), and the Paris club Silencio is his first foray. Named after the club in Mulholland Drive, Silencio doesn’t feature any apparent illusions, but it does have black-on-black toilet bowls and salty nuts hand-picked by the director himself. That, and chairs designed to “induce and sustain a specific state of alertness and openness to the unknown“. I’m good standing.

Crazy Clown Time

Though he’s collaborated in the past on music for his films, Lynch is now beginning a second or third or whatever career as a recording artist. His debut album of electro pop, Crazy Clown Time, is in the works and should drop soon with guest vocals from Karen O of the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.

The electronic pop album will, of course, feature Yeah Yeah Yeahs singer Karen O on the lead track, titled “Pinky’s Dream.” I’m predicting big things here. What kid in America wouldn’t want a recording of David Lynch hitting things together while Karen O makes shrill, haunted sounds? This one’s going straight to the Top Of The Pops. Number one with a bullet! Or owl pelle knowing Lynch. (Pitchfork)
