Re: Good Day Today
 

This track is by David Lynch. Check yesterday's Morning Becomes Eclectic (6-4-10). He plays it at the end of the show and apologizes for saying it was Underworld.

So what was the promotion tactic used here by Lynch/KCRW? I don't quite get it.

then again this twitter could be just as real as that incredible BP one!

Re: Good Day Today
 

Well I can safely say I would never have predicted that! :eek:

Re: Good Day Today
 

Wait-wait...what??? The track was made by David Lynch? How in the world is that by David Lynch. I'm going to wait to see if this is actually true. I'm a fan of Lynch's work and I know he's linked with other musicians (he recently made the video for Moby's "Shot in the Back of the Head"), but I would never have thought he would make something like this.

Ahem...

I just heard @jason_bentley play my song Good Day Today on @KCRW. I hope you all have a good day today and a great weekend. about 9 hours ago via web
and
@jason_bentley Thanks a million for playing Good Day Today. It was a thrill to hear it coming out of the radio. Wish you all the best. about 9 hours ago via web

Re: Good Day Today
 

He's also a semi-regular character on The Cleveland Show, which I think is even stranger: http://cleveland.wikia.com/wiki/David_Lynch

Re: the song, though, I wouldn't be surprised at all now if Moby had some input on this.

Re: Good Day Today
 

Crazy stuff, a genuine mistake but does seem strange that YDS and this track were played on the same day. Won't do any of them any harm.

Re: Good Day Today
 

oh man...

now that you say it - it's soooo OBVIOUSLY David Lynch's voice!

that's why it sounds so familiar to me. the crazy thing, is that I even have Lynch's "Ghost of Love" on the same playlist as "Good Day Today" (on my iPod) and never put two and two together

Re: Good Day Today
 

Wow, the character he plays in The Cleveland Show even looks like him. I've never seen the show, but I'm obviously familiar with Family Guy; I'm veeery surprised he's involved in it. I know he's a very serious, artistic director. I guess everyone has a humorous side to them, though. This is very interesting, it still amazes me that he's the one behind this song. If you're right about the possible collaboration with Moby, then I hope it continues. Moby's been kind of hit or miss with me after Play was released, but with his musical direction with Lynch's touch of style...could make one hell of an album.

Re: Good Day Today
 

I didn't know he was on "Cleveland" either... I watched like one episode, and didn't really like it (I'm totally burnt out on "Family Guy" as well)

as far as David Lynch being a "serious" director - you should also check out his 'absurdist comedy' called "On the Air" that he did while filming "Twin Peaks" -> it's weird, and kinda slapstick too...

but now the big question - How can you get a PROPER copy of the song?

Re: Good Day Today
 

I had no idea David Lynch made music at all.

Re: Good Day Today
 

Didn't he collaborate with MOBY?

Re: Good Day Today
 

That could be but Family Guy hasn't had anything to do with humor for a good 6 years.

Re: Good Day Today
 

Yeah, I tried watching the "newer" episodes of Family guy a few years ago and the comedy felt so forced...and after watching the reruns they show on tv from the early years, I have no intention to watch Family Guy ever again.

I logged into my girlfriend's twitter account and asked David Lynch if he plans on releasing the song. I doubt he'll respond, but it's worth a shot.

Re: Good Day Today
 

Sorry for the double-post, but I just saw this and it had me cracking up, especially because of the music in the background. Here's David Lynch's thoughts about watching a movie on an iPhone:

Re: Good Day Today
 

as far as "in the studio on a song together" - no, I don't think so...

but - David Lynch did do the video for Moby's "Shot in the Back of the Head"

and ... I think it was last year - or the year before it - David Lynch had a special day-long lecture series/ event out here near Iowa City (Fairfield, IA where the Maharishi University is)

part of the event was a live concert with Moby. Donovan also played
but I didn't get a chance to actually go


oh wait - I was going to post up a clip of Lynch's "Ghost of Love" but I found this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dpipJFmpGjU

i guess they are collaborating...

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

Hah, funny that the very first thought I had with Good Day Today was "is this Moby?". Hopefully this track will get a proper release.

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

Yeah, the practically invariant beat is very Moby, as is the need to vocode the heck outta his voice for it to sound cool. But i guess it's DL's voice (maybe?). IF it were a Moby track, there'd be the inevitable 4 chord string melody - it tugged at the heartstrings with "God Moving Across the Face of the Waters" in 1995 or whatever, but sheesh, he overuses the tinkly pianos and strings.

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

I miss the old days where Moby made tracks like "God Moving Over the Face of the Waters." That track is probably his peak moment to me; especially when you see it during the ending shot for the film Heat (don't get me started on that movie...so good). I even love his Animal Rights, which most people tend to pretend never happened. His newest album is good, but I don't know, it just doesn't have the same effect on me as his 90's material does. But in any case, "Good Day Today" reminds me of the good ol' 90's Moby and that's a good thing.

And that definitely sounds like DL's voice on the track.

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

Does someone still have a mp3 of this track? Would love to have it & can't find it anywhere else!

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

Why isn't this song on Barking? Is it a bonus track of some sort?
:p

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

ah, those heady May days when this could have been the new UW. And still, it's not half bad, probably would go down well beside "Moon in Water" and "Grace".

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

It's on CD3

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

i laughed. :)

Re: David Lynch: Good Day Today
 

Ahh, you mean that Blu-ray disc with ALL TRACKS FROM THE VAULT?
