Todays Inspirations: David Lynch and Tom Waits

Boy Lights Fire, David Lynch
Music is to art what wine is to cheese.  And vice versa.  They just go well together.  And tonight as I revel in the creepy and wonderful world of David Lynch I got to thinking what music would compliment his art?  There are so many fantastic artists to choose from - artists I don't even know.  So I can't say with any definitive certainty that I can pick the best musician for the job.  That being said, I just can't shake Tom Waits from my mind.  His rough voice - the way he breathes his words as if they're being dragged over gravel - is like an antonym to the innocent, child-like pitch of David Lynch's voice.  And of course they're both Jacks of many trades - David with his films and art (and music, too); Tom with is music and acting.  If I were going to make a snack representative of this pairing, it surely would have to be with a bottle of fine, red Syrah and rich, smoked Gouda with a bit of chorizo on the side. 

This just gave me an awesome idea: a restaurant featuring dishes inspired by artistic pairings: Lynch and Waits; Rauschenberg and Nina Simone; Erin Singleton and Billie Holiday.  I would defitely eat there...but only if there was great art clinging to the walls and music pouring from the ceiling...
