Coming into a dark world

I wanted to check out Chrysta Bell's This Train because I'd heard that David Lynch was involved with the album. I don't know how much of this story is true, but from what I've read, Lynch met Bell when she was 19 or 20ish and wanted to work with her on a long term project. He wanted to turn her into a chanteuse or something. She's a bit over 30 now; this album is finally seeing the light of day and it's a pretty good one.

If you're familiar with Lynch at all, you'll immediately be able to tell that his fingerprints are all over this album. Apparently, he wrote all of the music and lyrics; all that's missing are Angelo Badalamenti arrangements.

Silencio

Rebekah Del Rio plays herself in David Lynch's Mulholland Drive, lip-synching Llorando, a Spanish cover of Roy Orbison's Crying. I don't really know anything of her, but this song, from the Mulholland Drive soundtrack, is drop-dead gorgeous. The scene where she's singing it in Club Silencio is really strange, but I won't say anymore. You'll have to check it out for yourself, if you haven't already seen it. If you have seen it, perhaps you should see it again. I just did last night.
