Silencio - Slow Sin Jazz



Thanks again to Welcome to Twin Peaks for turning me onto this. Music inspired by the works of David Lynch and Angelo Badalamenti.

I've just discovered this site thanks to my good friend Missi. I know I'd been on it before at some point (there's A LOT of TP sites out there) but she has re-introduced me to it. I'm making it a regular stop now - maybe because I'm in a Lynch mood again (have been ever since buying the Twin Peaks Archive) and this strikes me now as the perfect replacement of the old Wrappped in Plastic magazine I used to subscribe to back in the 90's/early 00's.

And what with all the hazy talk of netflix (or someone) bringing... naw, let's not say it and jinx it. Bob may be listening.

David Lynch & Lykke Li - I'm Waiting Here



First release from the forthcoming new album by Mr. Lynch. Apparently, if you pre-order the record from itunes you get this as an instant free download. Very nice, reminds me of sitting out on the old mining road, watching the sun hang in the air over town but never quite come up.

David Lynch: New Album Teaser



The Big Dream is the new album by David Lynch, to be released on July 16th (July 15th across the pond).

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?
