From David Lynch's 2001 collaboration with John Neff, BLUEBOB.
This song cracks me up. There are lots of little things to notice the more you hear it, and all of it lands for me. One thing people often forget is just how damn funny David Lynch was.
This is long out of print, and the version you can download from Bandcamp HERE has a slightly different track order. Glad I grabbed this the second it went on sale back in the day - I'll be buried with my CD copy. (Please! Someone release this on vinyl!!! Sacred Bones - I'm looking at you!)
Watch:
Knowing nothing about YouTuber Markpliars, Game designer David Szymanski or his creation Iron Lung, I went to my local Regal and saw the premiere of Iron Lung last night.
I believe I mentioned this here a few weeks ago, when, upon exiting the aforementioned theatre, I saw the poster below, looked up the screening times and saw it had already almost sold out for the entire weekend.
That shit just doesn't happen in Clarksville. I mean, closest I've seen is the last two Terrifier films, but even those didn't sell out a month in advance. So there's hype, and it took some reading to figure out why. Pliars' YouTube channel is among the largest and most successful. Not necessarily a good omen, but I decided to abstain from anything else he's done until I've seen the film.
So how was Iron Lung?
Let's talk about a different movie instead, shall we?
Maika Monroe has just been on fire the last few years, and this new Blood Covenant anthology film looks like it will fit right in. I really dig this trailer and can't wait for a release date. Honestly, I'm just happy ot have a new trailer drop for something I'm looking forward to. Despite a couple great films in January, 2026 is feeling like a bit of a dry year for Horror so far.

Card:
• Eight of Cups: Indolence
• III: The Empress
• Knight of Disks
See how card 1 is Indolence - lack of motivation, and card 3 is Knight of Swords, literally motivation. I've been teetering between long bouts of inactivity writing and some really good days (like today) at the keyboard. Sounds like a pendulum, eh? What's the deciding factor? I'm way too engrossed in my day job. That shit isn't me, but it's owning me lately. I worked extra hours multiple days over the past week, and didn't take a lunch or barely move away from my desk for a week. I need to put that back in its box. I took a good step toward that today, and will make sure to do so again tomorrow. They want to own you - Don't let them!!!
