I really enjoy your (just-launched) Soundtrack Enthusiast series. hope you will continue. If i may suggest… Tarantino is an obvious choice, I guess. And how about some Cameron Crowe?
just for the Pearl Jam members’ cameos in Singles…

I LOVE LLORANDO BY REBEKAH DEL RIO. and you’re right, the juxtaposition of this song in Mulholland Drive and its scene–well, the rest of the movie–it just… i can’t even think right now

I was referred by Metafilter – just thought I’d say. I always think of The Lady in The Radiator Song from Eraserhead performed by the Pixies when I hear David Lynch and music. Great post, great site, thanks!

Lynch is one of my favorite directors of all time and you’re absolutely dead on with his soundtracking ‘bilities. I was excited when Inland Empire came out and went to see it at Sunset 5 right away. While there were parts of it that were fascinating and amazing (the bunny family, this one chase scene on a movie set), for the most part it was just hard to watch. With Lost Highway & Mulholland Drive when the stories start to go off the rails it’s a thing of beauty that you can really have fun trying to wrap you mind around. With Inland, it doesn’t so much go off the rails as not have any rails to begin with. So unless you are David Lynch, I don’t think anyone is going to enjoy and connect with this film on anything more than an intellectual level. Personally, I need more than that. And dats my two cents.

David Lynch is one weird dude. He is another extremely creative film artist heavily influenced by music though. I think that anybody that ever sat through Lost Highway is permanently scarred. Again, a great post. The Wes Anderson one is hard to beat though!

Great post! I like David Lynch movies but in particular, I count “Blue Velvet” as one of my all-time favorite movies. (“Do you wanna go for a ride?” “No thanks.”) Ohh. what a scene! Anyway, my two cents… I love how Ketty Lester’s “Love Letters” is worked into the movie as well. (“Do you know what a love letter is? It’s a bullet from a fucking gun, fucker! You receive a love letter from me and you’re fucked forever!”)

Nice post – always good to hear some Roy Orbison. I’ve been hankering to hear the overblown cover that Thrum did of Crying about, ooh, 15 years ago. Howard has rudely sold his copy. Anyone out there got it and want to share it?

INLAND EMPIRE is difficult, opaque and challenging to watch, but it is worth it. I’m a newspaper film critic, and have posted my review up on my site, if you’re interested. http://maguiresmovies.blogspot.com/2007/03/lynch-mob.html
At the end of the movie, after three hours of something approaching horror, Lynch has the cast – and a few others, including a man sawing a log – dance around a living room to Nina Simone’s Sinnerman. The scene proves precisely the point you are making with your post, and is just astonishing to see.

Nice collection. Lynch soundtracks are always a treat. Both of my daughters were born to the Twin Peaks television soundtrack, set on repeat. (Does that make me weird?)
