Paste reminded us that the Fourth Annual David Lynch Weekend for World Peace and Meditation is once again nearly upon us (November 13-15 in Fairfield, Iowa). Tickets are still available. The main speaker will be, yes, David Lynch. But ’60s pop star Donavan will also be giving a lecture. And while some Lynch enthusiasts are more than ready for a fourth venture to the Midwest, others sort of thought they would have had this whole world peace thing knocked out a few years back. Common complaints include convoluted speech subplots, bewildering dream sequences and wondering why the hell that thing behind the auditorium trash can matters and if it’s even relevant to the rest of the keynote address.

David Lynch has been taking a break from making bizarre movies since the release of Inland Empire in 2006, but never fear! He’s making bizarre rock music instead. A project entitled Fox Bat Strategy: A Tribute to Dave Jaurequi, chockful of the creepy, dreamlike ’50s rock Lynch’s films are notorious for, is set to release on June 30. The seven song LP featuring original lyrics by Lynch was mostly recorded in 1994 with session artists from his film Fire Walk With Me and is named for the late guitarist/vocalist heard on the album, who died in 2006. Take a listen to “Shoot the Works” at EW Music—you’ll be snapping your fingers, swaying and wearing sunglasses indoors in no time. (via p4k)
