Peachy Keen.
Still processing the death of David Lynch here, like Bowie he's been a huge presence/influence on my life since I first saw Eraserhead as an impressionable 14 year old film fan and I'll admit it now that all of the sinister subtexts, oppressive sound designs and dark humour was lost on me at the time - I just saw a director speaking exactly the same language that I did and I fell in love with his work (in that way only an obsessive Autistic can) immediately.
