Inspiration for the new album




My dad as a teenager, back when he was a trouble maker. Age 17

Willem Dafoe in his first role, The Loveless, 1982

Rebels Of Neon God, 1992

A film by Taiwan Based Malaysian Director Tsai Ming Liang, Depicting 2 teenage delinquents in Taipei in the early 90's.

The keyboard synth heavy 80's score along with the motorcycle night drifting scene haunts me.

  4. I'm surprised you even know it, not a lot of people have heard of it. Been really into 80's recreation of the 50's for a while.

    Its so unrealistic, and overtly romanticized that it becomes something else entirely.

    btw, you need to update dem photos more lil' girl. people like see them.

  6. beside the obvious ones that were huge in the 80's (i.e. back to the future, american graffiti) I really liked repo man. although not really 50's related, but the overall mood and soundtrack was heavily inspired by it. highly recommend it.

    here are a few more other ones worth mentioning in the 80's/50's revival:
