22 years ago tonight on Twin Peaks

"Over ten million US households watched as Dale Cooper entered the Black Lodge in the 2-hour series finale of Twin Peaks." - from Welcome to Twin Peaks.

I was one of those households and I was forever changed and inspired by that 2 hours. Raise those glasses fellow Peaks fans. (and thanks to Welcome to Twin Peaks and my good friend Missi for the anniversary reminder!!!)

Amoeba Music's What's in my Bag: Jason Mewes



This is a great series. I have to start posting more of them.

King of Leon - Closer (to a new record)



I never was able to get into their last record, but Kings of Leon hold a special place in my heart. 'Holy Roller Novocaine' was on the first mix CD my wife gave me back in '03 when I met here. At that time the band was nobody and had a considerably different, dirtier sound. However, with Because of the Times and Only By the Night they became a much better, moodier band. I'll be curious to hear Mechanical Bull, their forthcoming new record to be released on 9/24.

Deftones - Swerve City Video



Awesome. I'd say that I'd like to see a video for Rosemary next, but I do not think anyone could do justice to the images that song puts in my head. How about Graphic Nature instead?

New King Khan & The Shrines - Born to Die

Rain Room



This is just bizarre. One thing that drives me crazy about living in CA is there is almost NO RAIN EVER.

I quite like the rain.

Queens of the Stone Age on Lettermen



I'm way behind on posting this but it's been a busy couple days catching up on the sleep I need to live.
