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.

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.

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.

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

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

[joethelion]

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?

[King of Snake]

I had no idea David Lynch made music at all.

Didn't he collaborate with MOBY?

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

i guess they are collaborating...

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.
