    TWIN PEAKS

    That's true. He never gives anyone any answers, but I think a lot of the time he just follows in intuition... not that I have any way of knowing this, but it's my guess.

     

    actually that's it. before he did made mulholland drive, he was going to make it a tv show like twin peaks, but he didn't want to explain the meanings of certain things in the storyline and so the studios passed- regardless of the fact that he gave the best pitch anyone could remember. as i remember, i think he had even began on the 2nd version of the script- but his version of a television show relies on constantly stringing you along with a mystery only to betray you with another mystery as the reveal partly like a daytime soap opera

    btw: does anyone here live in los angeles (or been here)? the twin peaks 20th anniversary was held at clifton's cafeteria and if you've been there you know how lynchie that place is. well, on that day, things were extra lynchie.

    A bit of deep explanation (?) here.

     

    Though it's always really interesting to look things up that might explain a Lynchian universe, I think you need to keep in mind that Lynch doesn't spend a lot of time thinking about the stuff he does. I was reading a couple of pages here and there in my "Lynch on Lynch" book and I stumbled upon this great conversation:

     

    Interviewer: "Many scenes in your films feature the failure of electricity: the faulty neons in the autopsy room in Twin Peaks; the buzzing light fittings in Dorothy Vallen's apartment block in Blue Velvet, for example. Electrical currents also seem to announce imminent danger or revelation, as in the stroblight effect you use constantly in Twin Peaks.

    Lynch: Right, exactly, right. Exactly. And what it means, I don't know.

     

    But as Lynch has said before, whatever the audience is left thinking after having watched Twin Peaks or a Lynch movie is, according to Lynch, correct.

     

    this is partly true and partly not. lynch doesn't spend time thinking about how to be lynch (or the great things he does) but he does know why he has strobing lights and what they mean to him. the thing is, if he told the interviewer what they meant, then that's it. nobody will look at those strobing lights or electricity failure in any other way.

    deutsche elektronische musik 2 - experimental german rock and electronic music 1972-83: exactly what it says on the label, gorgeous 2 disc set of crazy warm electronic synth treated rock muzik. think along the lines of can, neu! and krafwerk as well as some guys who were probably just two doors down the studio where the likes of peter thomas was doing his library treatments. in fact, this is kinda similar to that parry compilation public-info put out last year except it occasionally takes detours into different directions like pastal folk (like on 'in a sacred manner' by gila) or new age ('Ja Sie Sollen Gottes Kinder Heissen Agnus Dei' by popol vuh). and when things go library, they discard the cheesy disco and plug in the heavy psych rock.

     

    also worth noting: it's well over two hours (and there are two of these in the market right now), because most of the songs like to get a really good workout, and to be honest, so does your brain.

    Prurient's live show is intense. That guy can get himself worked up into a fury like nobody's business.

     

    i went to one of his shows in brooklyn. he had his back to the audience during the entire set. people were shouting "turn around" so they could see him. he eventually walked off looking pretty pissed off.

    i actually really loved season 2. you guys didn't enjoy the thing about radio signals from space, the black lodge and windom earle? i honestly think i enjoy season 2 more than season 1.

    big apple rappin': the early days of hip-hop culture in new york city 1979-1982: a banging two disc compilation of golden era raps (read as: rapping over disco-electro breaks and jams). it's interesting to hear how the sound of hiphop has changed over the years from introspective fun fueled jams to naive mocks and braggadocio- this contains the former with people i'd never heard of before like t ski valley, super 3 and universal 2 -who have possibly my favorite track on the set as well as general echo rapping dub style (that's the name of the track which is also the name of the style).

     

    crazy good and a priceless piece of rap history (although i got mine for the bargin steal price of $15)

    ben affleck goes to rescue a bunch of argumentative consolate workers in iran during a crisis under the pretex of being a film producer. nice use of shaky cam and medium wide close-up because this is intense you know?

    change the beat: the celluloid records story 1980-1987: a massive compilation of the french early hiphop/new wave/boogie label celluloid, run as a vanity project by the guy in charge of BYG and bill laswell.

     

    what we have here is a mixture of old school breaks, funk, synth wave and electronic disco jam rap with people like fab five freddy, grandmixer d st, bongostars and manu di bango making an appearance (albiet most of these tracks are remixes or b-sides of some kind from rare 45s).

     

    if you're into this sort of thing, you'll get A LOT of entertainment out of this. also comes packed with all the information about this scene that one can possibly hope to have without "having been there"

    cherrystones - red nails: this sounds a lot like something the gaslamp killer would make (especially queen bee) except this has more of an electronic pedigree behind some of the song influences (molecular battler for example is basically early analog power electronics and the title track slightly resembles early non or einsturzende neubauten on a more hiphop tip). definitely a banger

    weird movie that takes full advantage of robert z'dar's chin to sketch a messy plot about a... maniac cop.

     

    this film is about an ex-cop turned serial killer who goes after the (ny)police department because they screwed him over (particularly the police commissionar) and is currently stalking the city killing both innocent citizens and cops in an attempt to clear his name

     

    any of this sound familiar?
