Drink full: The TWIN PEAKS 2017 spoiler thread, part 2

vedder owned ffs!!!111

i liked NIN but generally the roadhouse music has been meh for me

*the band Trouble walks down the street*

person: "Uh oh..."

*the band member's eyes widen*

person: "Here comes..."

*band member's can hardly contain excitement levels*

person: "...that band called Trouble"

*the band called Trouble exhale in collective disappointment*

person: "Hey, do you want to grab some food on the corner? At, uh..."

*owner of the restaurant "That Burrito Place" perks up*

person: "what's it called? you know, it's that burrito..."

*owner of "That Burrito Place" can barely contain their excitement*

person: "...restaurant. On the corner. Can't remember the name though."

*owner of "That Burrito Place" exhales in disappointment*

ok lol @ Billy pic

xp

yeah I mean other than the known acts (NIN, Chromatics, Vedder, whoever Moby played with), all of the Roadhouse bands have been thoroughly dull and anesthetized to me, but that's just the music. in the context of the show, it is a very nice way to come down. i was talking to a friend about this and i asked why all the Roadhouse bands are like this (whatever genre or style you want to call it - other than the acts i mentioned, they're all pretty similar), and she said it's probably because Lynch loves them and that they all sound like contemporary versions of the music from the 50s and 60s that he's obsessed with - Bobby Vinton, Orbison, girl groups, all that. i thought that was otm. i haven't rewatched any episodes yet, i imagine they'll all sound better on a second look to me.

& i wish Sky Ferreira was one of the performers

kudos on that billy pic there. good job

sharon van etten was great.

Sharon Von Etten performed at the Roadhouse?????????

ok i'll rest up on the roadhouse now

Have you not been paying attention wtf?!

i have no excuse, i watched parts 1 thru 14 in one weekend & that was only two weeks ago

Oh yeah, your short lived showtime trial :D You're excused bcs of the Billy pic imo.

If Eddie Vedder in a fucking fedora didn't take you out of the world of Twin Peaks, they you're in Lynchland Denial. Thank god the Audrey scene saved the ep. Janey-e being Diane is silly right? 1. Why would Albert and Cole forget what she looked like 2. Why would she not realize she was married to a twin of her boss?

cactus blossoms are fucking rad as well imo

Chaki otm

"Janey-e being Diane is silly right? 1. Why would Albert and Cole forget what she looked like 2. Why would she not realize she was married to a twin of her boss?"

yes that doesn't make any sense and it's not what is going to happen.

Seriously. Sonny Jim is clearly the real Diane, come on.

I'm amazed no one mentioned Rebekah Del Rio. Definitely in my top 3 with Chromatics and nin.

the autotune spoiled her for me somewhat I'm afraid

my (unordered) top 3:

NIN, Trouble, and assuming Julee Cruise will be amazing. if for some reason Cruise disappoints, then I'd gladly put the Chromatics on there. that was a beautiful way to set the tone of the road house from the very first episode

i liked that cactus blossoms song a lot as well

Chromatics yes, Trouble yes, everything else meh to fuck no

Sharon van Etten gets a pass from me anytime, that song is so beautiful.

I've always kind of wanted to listen to more Au Revoir Simone and TP has convinced me

That song "Lark" is so amazing

whoopee

glad people are talking about the dud nature of the roadhouse. Love Chromatics, Etten and Au Revoir Simone but Chromatics is the only one that stuck for me. Someone like Chelsea Wolfe would've been perfect but instead it's mostly been pretty diluted stuff.

cooper putting his suit on at the hospital was pure joy, totally delivered

Yeah Lynch's taste in stuff he & Badalamenti inspired is kinda weak. No Neko Case either. tbf they did all of the performances in one or two long days. Probably difficult to schedule.

picky, picky

we started out thankful there was a new twin peaks season and now we’re cranky there’s a couple minutes of music out of every hour with music that’s not quite our faves

what are people getting from the chromatics 'preformance' at the road house? it's an okay song and i'm a chromatics fan, but they brought no charisma and johnny jewel has such an unnatural and off putting stage presence. it wasn't bad, just didn't stand out from the other songs apart from them being more well known.

maybe it's because johnny looks like sam rockwell trying to be a rock n roll 'producer' but they took me out of the twin peaks world more than vedder or NIN.

people are way horny for the chromatics

Vedder and his fedora folk was just as terrible as the majority of the other acts that have been on.

loved some of the consistencies in this episode

same music score played during Bad Cooper/Richard and Cooper with his family.

The Cooper hospital monitor SFX continuing into the Cole cut away

just felt like it was really considered

Chromatics have a presence that slots in well with the "world" of TP 2017. Au Revoir Simone as well, somewhat, though they take the static, sidelong-glance-from-my-synth schtick a bit far. NIN worked. I'd prefer Harry Dean over any of them.

shout out to the phil! the last we will likely hear from him but coop owes him a kind word at least.

problem is that everything else in this show is so good, it kind of takes you out of it and back into the real world of shitty white people rock.

gonna hijack your internet connection to send you a version that has Coldplay instead of Penderecki

I've talked about it ad nauseum but the biggest *gas face* is the absence of Bohren Und Der Club of Gore.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG-vNzcn96k

penderecki didn't play in the roadhouse

yet

do you think the Dougie electrocution with the socket and Richard Horne's electrocution on the rock were simultaneous?

Hm, maybe yes, maybe a trap for Mr C to be consumed by Coop's reboot.

it's probably because Lynch loves them and that they all sound like contemporary versions of the music from the 50s and 60s that he's obsessed with - Bobby Vinton, Orbison, girl groups, all that.

I was making this same comparison the other day! The likes of Au revoir Simone are totally the equivalent of Connie Stevens or whoever: definitely generic and "milquetoast" or whatever, and also lovely. It helps that the lead singer sounds a bit like sally Shapiro to me.

Interesting to read ppl's reactions, I've liked or loved pretty much all the songs & think they've been used v smartly within their episodes. Ive been dreading the vedder song this whole time because I'd heard it already and it's really not my thing, and because he has a singing style that sounds bad, but when it finally rolled around I didn't hate it. It's in the right place I think, but I'm never not just gonna tune out during it.

(I don't care about being "taken out of it", two of my favourite numbers are james Hurley & zz top)

Caught up tomorrow ep9 thru 13 over weekend blessings to all

Just delurking on this thread to say I've also found 95% of the Roadhouse music somehwere between bland and awful. The sound design I have thought is excellent however.

Roadhouse music > Roadhouse randos talking about people we've never heard of.
