My all time favorite Beach Boys song. The lush harmonies, "Wall of Sound" vibes and youthful innocence always bring me comfort and happiness. Brian Wilson was a genius. youtu.be/SvZHoF0A9WQ?...

Discovering Eraserhead at age 17 was the moment I felt like I had found 'my' cinema. Mulholland Drive is still my favourite film to this day. Peaks, Lost Highway, Inland Empire, Wild at Heart...list goes on. He inspired me to dream. Very, very sad news. Rest in Peace #DavidLynch.
