My pal Adam Barnick (who directed this fantastic video) alerted me that there is something called The Twin Peaks Archive. It is a massive collection of all the unused (at least in their full length) music from the TV series as well as the prequel film. Composed by Angelo Badalamenti (who scored The City Of Lost Children, one of my favorite films), the 212 track collection has not been released on physical but is available to purchase on-line as individual tracks (around $.99 or less each) or as a full bundle. While the $77 price tag of the bundle might make you balk a bit, remember that it averages out to about $.36 per track, which I think is a steal. Also, the files come either in 320kbps nitrate or Apple lossless, so you’re getting some fantastic sounding tracks. The bundle can be ordered here while the individual tracks can be cherry picked here and clicking on ‘Explore’. READ MORE

Woman Does Amazing Pole Dance To ‘Twin Peaks’ “Falling”

One of the biggest reasons I love David Lynch’s fantastic TV series Twin Peaks is the amazing score by Angelo Badalamenti. Seductive, creepy jazz? I’ll take all I can get and more, please and thank you. Then there are the ethereal vocals of Julee Cruise, which gave the music an almost angelic, heavenly feel.

Alright, enough about my boner for Twin Peaks (trust me, it’s massive). Below is a video of Bugsy Monroe, a pole dancer from London who did a highly edited and stylized routine to “Falling” (hence my little blurb about Badalamenti and Cruise). It’s totally SFW, so no worries about watching it on the job. Unless your boss is a hard ass, in which case you can send him to me. I won’t really do anything, but at least he’ll be out of the office long enough for you to watch the video. READ MORE

Director David Lynch (Twin Peaks, Eraserhead) has taken to Twitter to let his followers know of a new song that he is rather taken with: Escondido‘s “Black Roses”. The song comes from the band’s debut album The Ghosts Of Escondido and the video was directed by Erik Anders Lang. It’s a soft, mellow, pleasant track that features soft, gentle female vocals (something that Lynch seems to enjoy thoroughly). Give the song a listen below and leave your thoughts in the comments.

[Random Cool] Check Out This Beautiful Acoustic Cover Of “Laura’s Theme” From Twin Peaks

One of my favorite TV shows of all time, Twin Peaks is a timeless classic that, for me, never gets old and never hits a point of “Age hasn’t treated this kindly”. The show’s supernatural, surreal twist on your standard murder mystery has been an inspiration to countless TV shows since it ended (prematurely, I might add) in 1991.

One of the biggest draws for me towards this show is the beautiful, eerie soundtrack of Angelo Badalamenti, who happens to be one of my favorite composers. He created an ethereal soundtrack that fully complimented the series, the characters, the location, and the mystery itself.

That’s why I was very excited when I heard guitarist Martin Tallstrom do a cover of “Laura’s Theme”, the melancholic piece that haunted the series. You can see it below. READ MORE

Over the weekend, Alan Moore (“Watchmen”, “V For Vendetta, “From Hell”) and Mitch Jenkins‘ new film, Jimmy’s End, was released online, for free. The film is part of a larger series that the duo are working on, titled The Show, involving the same characters and setting.

Jimmy’s End offers up a fanciful, disturbing, and oddly alluring 1950s neo-noir world. Not surprisingly, it strongly evokes a similar feeling to David Lynch’s more contemporary work with its unsettling dream-like quality and uncomfortable sexual tension. Below, you can check out Jimmy’s End in its entirety, along with the prequel Act of Faith. Go full screen and turn up those speakers to increase the bizarre. READ MORE

[Editorial] 9 Great Horror Soundtracks

It’s nearly Halloween. Outside, the wind is howling. The trees are bare, the branches looking like skeleton limbs crudely stuck together. Leaves cover the ground, causing each step to elicit a satisfying crunch. The sky is steel grey, threatening rain, thunder, and lightning. In a simpler way of putting it, it’s the best time of the year.

For me, one of the best ways to celebrate this time of year is by putting on some of the creepiest, eeriest, scariest music that I can get my hands on. There is something deliciously fun about scaring myself with shrieking violins, out-of-tune pianos, otherworldly choirs, and bizarre ambient tones.

And since this time of year is something special to a great many people, I wanted to share some of my favorite horror soundtracks, the ones that make me want to curl up under a blanket and play one horror movie after another, until the saving grace of the sunrise saves me. Join me below for 9 Great Horror Soundtracks! READ MORE

Chrysta Bell Feat. David Lynch Video For “Bird Of Flames” Is Very Strange Indeed

Singer Chrysta Bell has released a video for “Bird Of Flames”, a song that features director/musician David Lynch. The video, directed by Chel White, is a haunting, surreal vision in which a writhing, undulating dancer moves around a ball of lace from which, later in the video, Bell is born. The song comes from her album This Train (iTunes). You can watch the beautiful video below.

Bell explains, “Adding my vocals and making it a duet was incredibly meaningful to me and gave the song a new dimension. We knew we wanted a video, but finding a way to visually capture the uplifting yet darkly penetrating energy of the song was going to be a challenge. Chel White’s sublime talent for unusual, compelling and thought-provoking imagery was beautifully matched for the music. He did a magnificent job.” READ MORE

There’re two new videos today that I want to bring to your attention. The first is the official video for David Lynch‘s Crazy Clown Time, which comes off his album of the same name (review). The video is definitely NSFW as it features a woman with her breasts bared for a good majority of the video. That being said, it’s undeniably a Lynch video. With strange characters, bright colors and odd imagery, the music and visuals fit perfectly.

The second video comes from legendary doom metal band Saint Vitus. Coming off their upcoming album Lillie: F-65, you can check out the video for Let Them Fall below. This album will be their first release in 17 years. The video is directed by Michael Panduro who brought us the fantastically disgusting Ohrwurm video by Cephalic Carnage.

Check out both videos below and enjoy!

Bilateral, the third studio album from Leprous, is easily one of my favorite releases this year (review here). The mix of prog with metal combined with a vintage feel but a modern sound all came together to create an album that I just cannot stop listening to. So I was beyond excited when I got the opportunity to chat with vocalist/keyboardist Einar Solberg. We discussed the album, the sounds and tones used, the artwork, and Einar’s thoughts on horror. Check it all out after the jump!

Late last year, I wrote an article about legendary director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Eraserhead, Twin Peaks) wanting to compose and release a music album. Originally, the album was supposed to be released in June, but due to situations arising, the release date was pushed. Well, full details for the album, entitled Crazy Clown Time, have emerged and it’s sounding very impressive!

The album will be released on November 8th via Sunday Best Recordings and will be available for purchase at retail outlets in both physical and digital formats, including a Collector’s Edition CD; iTunes exclusive with video; and a double LP set with bonus tracks.

Lynch states: “The love of experimenting with sound and music is what’s driving this boat. All of the songs on the album started as a jam. The jams eventually found a form and lyrics appeared.”

Check after the jump for more information.

Famed director David Lynch (Blue Velvet, Mulholland Dr., Elephant Man, Twin Peaks) will be directing Duran Duran in an upcoming live stream concert on March 23rd. The concert is the kickoff to the second year of the American Express Unstaged series. In addition to the amazing visual live show that is being planned, fans can submit photos and art which will be showcased on surreal displays throughout the night. The live stream will begin at 10pm EST/7pm PST from the Mayan Theater in Los Angeles, California. To watch it, keep your eyes peeled on Duran Duran’s official YouTube channel.

This concert comes a day after Duran Duran releases their 13th studio album, All You Need Is Now and two years after their last tour. What do you guys think? I’m kinda terrified to watch Hungry Like The Wolf as seen through the eyes of David Lynch. READ MORE

Is it a nightmare or an actual view of a post-apocalyptic world? Set in an industrial town in which giant machines are constantly working, spewing smoke, and making noise that is inescapable, Henry Spencer lives in a building that, like all the others, appears to be abandoned. The lights flicker on and off, he has bowls of water in his dresser drawers, and for his only diversion he watches and listens to the Lady in the Radiator sing about finding happiness in heaven. Henry has a girlfriend, Mary X, who has frequent spastic fits. Mary gives birth to Henry’s child, a frightening looking mutant, which leads to the injection of all sorts of sexual imagery into the depressive and chaotic mix.
