Well, title track in particular, when he starts to get into the crooning is a close match to Isaak's "AH ooooo", similar mood as well IMO

The most Lynchian stuff I've ever heard that hasn't actually been used on one of his soundtracks (yet) is that album Black Earth by Bohren and Der Club of Gore (Ipecac).

Search: Jody Reynolds, monster of mood-a-billy. "Endless Sleep" is well nigh definitive.
As is Kris Jensen's "Torture".

Jimmy Wilsey -- El Dorado
Wilsey was in Isaak's backing band Silvertone and played guitar on "Wicked Game." Before that he was in the Avengers, and most recently has played with Miss Derringer, a pretty kick-ass LA band. His first solo album, El Dorado, was released earlier this year on Lakeshore. It's all instrumentals, all in the "Wicked Game" vein, and quite good.

Man I forgot all about Neko Case til seeing her mentioned here. Several years ago there was a glitch in iTunes where it wouldn't let me add anything on Blacklisted to my library, causing her to be absent from all my playlsits and whatnot. Tried adding it again just now and the glitch is still there! Wtf

I can't imagine hating this song, my lounge obsession is partially searching for Twin Peaks/twilight Zone sounds and the lonely desert vibes of Wicked Games.

This may be too obvious to mention, but some of Lana Del Rey’s recent stuff sounds like she literally wrote it right after listening to this song (which I understand she’s also covered).

I think it's the ur-text of her songwriting and persona.
