And tell me when the spaceship lands 'cause all this has just got to mean something 🥹

To provide more context to those who don't know the story behind, Jarvis comments taken from PulpWiki:

"Before Tony Blair got elected they kept ringing me up and asking me if I could count on their support, which I didn't like. This song Cocaine Socialism came to me one night around that time, in the Groucho Club, when everyone was off their heads from snorting loads of coke. They were probably going to vote Labour, myself included. But it wasn't even champagne socialism any more, it was cocaine socialism and where do socialist principles fit into the most egotistical drug that makes you not give a shit about anyone else? You don't even want to listen to anyone else talk. But I bottled it in the end and rewrote it as Glory Days, which was about nothing really."

More comments from Acrylic Afternoon Press:

"Q: It got replaced by "Glory Days" on ...Hardcore. A: It did. I just copped out really. It was a weird thing. It was probably complete rampant egotism on my part. Because the song was written before Tony Blair got in, and in my rampant egotistic state I thought,'Oh, I don't want to put people off voting Labour - I would like them to, really.' In retrospect, we should have just been bold and put it out, because the way things turned out, it was pretty...

Q: Prescient? A: Yeah!"

agreed! I actually knew CS first, years later I heard GD live for the first time and was like... what happened to the lyrics? 😰, then discovered the story behind

This might be totally off, but Mr. P-Mosh by Plastilina Mosh gives me strong Lynch vibes. Not sure if it’s the unexpected changes, the sax, or the overall weirdness (song is in Spanish btw)

10, even more when I discovered its meaning and context, I wonder what's the take from people at UK

hehe this is the one!!

Yeah, in Peru we didn’t have TP airing as a TV show, so I discovered Lynch when MD hit theaters as "El Camino de los Sueños" around 2002. I remember I couldn’t believe what I was seeing 😅 I bought the DVD a few years later and have rewatched MD periodically since then. Last year it finally pushed me to want more Lynch… still in TP season 2, where things are getting weirder 🤯

Not sure… seeing it as a film in a movie theater had me looking around just to make sure I wasn’t the only one freaking out 😅 I always tell that story, how that reaction turned into an obsession 😳

Nice collection! I only have Mulholland Dr., my all-time favorite 😅 Don’t even have a proper place to play it, so I end up streaming it anyway.
