SONOIO Red

I'm pretty late posting it, but since I've been pretty obsessed with it lately and haven't written about it, I figured I should write about it. Alessandro Cortini (from Modwheelmood and formerly from Nine Inch Nails) started a new project last year called SONOIO. I never really got into SONOIO's debut album Blue, but this year, Cortini released a followup called Red, which is fantastic. And he released a video for the song "Enough". It's a very cool and simple video, and if you aren't in love with the song after one listen, you should probably check yourself in to a hospital as soon as possible, because there's something wrong with you.



You can listen to Red on the music player on the SONOIO website. You can also download the first four songs for free, or buy the full album in a variety of formats. If you scroll further down the page, you'll also find all of the same options for Blue.

David Lynch's Crazy Clown Time

Did you know that filmmaker David Lynch is a musician? He sure is. And he's got an album coming out on November 8th this year called Crazy Clown Time.

Here's a track from the album called "I Know".



And another called "Good Day Today".

It is a dark time for the Rebellion.

Last night I had a dream. I don't want to tell you the whole dream, but I really want to share with you my favorite part:

I went to a school play put on by kindergarteners that somehow combined the story of the founding fathers of the United States of America, and the Cloud City portion of The Empire Strikes Back. All of the characters were played by 5 year olds in full costume, except for Lando Calrissian, who was still played by actor Billy Dee Williams.
