Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
In the Aeroplane Over the Sea - Neutral Milk Hotel
Ants From Up There - Black Country, New Road

Almost all of these have tracks that get me into a crying mood. All are more meaningful to me than I’d like to admit.
I’ll let you guess at the gory details there. Enjoy the tunes, friends.

The film has so many moments of the most haunting and affecting imagery I’ve ever seen, and beyond that is staying with me in some kind of a sea-change way, which I don’t fully grasp.
It’s freely available on YouTube (linked here). Kanopy, too. Go see it.

David Berman was incredible with words. A new rainy day track on loop, for me.

Like those weird, out-of-place lines that pop into your head when you’re trying to write a thing.
Write them down! Sometimes they lead somewhere or grow into something incredible and you just don’t know that in the moment. Like David Lynch & the opening line for Lost Highway popping into his head, completely out of context at the time.
It takes some work to trust yourself on these things, but it's damn worth it.
