Highly recommend her album Floating Into the Night, which was produced by Lynch and is where several key Twin Peaks songs come from, along with a bunch of other really cool songs
the last 10 minutes of episode 14 are my favourite TV ever produced and her performance has so much to do with it
Too bad we never got that new Lynch project. I only finished my rewatch of The Return a few weeks ago and I already deeply miss living in that dreamland. I hope we get something new in the next year or so.
More gutting news to share. The absolutely brilliant composer behind the music of Twin Peaks, and many other Lynch films, Angelo Badalamenti has passed away.
His music is such a central piece of what makes Twin Peaks what it is. I remember being an emotional wreck hearing Laura’s theme for the first time it appears in The Return, when Bobby sees Laura’s picture in the sheriff’s station. It’s the one picture of Laura we always see. “Laura Palmer? Man, brings back some memories.” The line is hysterical in its own and in a meta context, how it completely undersells the EMOTION—he’s weeping; I was just about in tears, too. The nostalgia conveyed in that theme sweeps me away. Something about Badalamenti’s music just fully immerses you in that world and tugs at your heartstrings. I hope he’s remembered as the legend he was, and may he rest in peace.
Badalamenti deserves every accolade he ever got and more, but I gotta say what an amazing performance by Dana Ashbrook in that scene. his acting in the original series is not particularly good, but man he kills it in The Return
David Lynch's "tribute" (for those non-regular watchers during that part of the weather broadcast he usually talks about a song he's been listening to)
I starting a binge of this. Starting with Fire Walk With Me first before I start the main series since its a prequel. Is that the correct way to do it or should I have saved that one for later?
