When I was working on Eraserhead, we only worked at night. Sometimes I would be building a set or something in the daytime, but on the set, sitting in it or working in it, the so-called “real world” outside disappeared completely. I was in this factory world, and I could imagine the streets and the little diners and hardly anybody there from the little worker houses. There’s a bar, and huge, giant, colossal factories. Huge smokestacks, building smoke, thick atmospheres. And I think, if you turn the lights down and play this [album] in full, a whole world can emerge in your head. And it will be really, really beautiful.

Why, yes, we are still the town that broke David Lynch. …and don’t you ever presume to think otherwise.

Heavily-armed man arrested on Broad Street subway – Philly.com
A man carrying an AK-47 assault rifle, a handgun, and a 12-inch hunting knife, along with illegal drugs, boarded a subway train Tuesday night in Philadelphia.
Thanks to a tip from a passenger and fast action by SEPTA police, he was arrested after the train pulled into the Fairmount station on the northbound Broad Street Line.
No harm was done, but officials were left shaking their heads at what might have happened if the man, identified by city police as Jermal Michael Ponds, 28, of Conlyn Street, had intended to use the weapons.

Don’t forget: an image from Eraserhood.com will be offered a silent auction to raise money for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation. Tomorrow at 5:00pm at Drink Philly Office & Gallery
The photo to be auctioned for charity is of the 1910 Willys-Overland Motor Company showroom that was at 323-327 N. Broad Street. This Colonial Revival building was one of the buildings dedicated in 2010 as part of the new Callowhill Industrial Historic District. It was recently demolished to make way for the new headquarters of the Pennsylvania Ballet.
