MY FAVOURITE EPISODE OF DAVID LYNCH'S "DUMBLAND" SERIES OF 'STOP/GO' ANIMATIONS . . . . UNSETTLING, DARK, BROODING, MALEVOLENT, UNCOMFORTABLE, CONFRONTING, DISTORTED, IN YOUR FACE . . . . DAVID LYNCH TO A TEE REALLY.

THIS SERIES OF SIMPLE ANIMATION CLIPS WERE RELEASED SOME NINE OR SO YEARS AGO . . . . ODDLY, TO NOT NECESSARILY GREAT PUBLIC ACCLAIM . . . . SEEMS IT FREAKED A LOT OF FOLK OUT, NO SURPRISES THERE I GUESS, GIVEN LYNCH'S BODY OF WORK, INCLUDING . . . . 'ERASERHEAD', 'BLUE VELVET', 'DUNE' AND 'TWIN PEAKS'.



Pushing people to confront themselves, their society and its ills, addressing issues often left under the carpets of modern day domestic normality . . . . these have always been the aims and guiding lights for many artists of all persuasions, I think this is especially true of David Lynch and his catalogue of cinematic work.

Thanks to Dreadlock Dave for turning me onto "Dumbland" way back when . . . . heavy stuff, still sets my moral compass on 'spin' at times . . . . social commentary like his always does, if you're livin next door to crew like the characters depicted in "Dumbland" . . . . get the fuck out now !!!!
