the Twin Peaks: The Return roadhouse performances poll

That's precisely it for me. It's a replay of maddie's murder (in that Cooper has gravely failed and is deeply confounded) but this time we don't get to luxuriate in the sadness. It's a great setup for part 18 imo

Yah it totally worked, but I have no doubt in my mind it took A LOT of fiddling to make it work lol

yeah they didn't spend enough time on her performance. I don't know why. She blew her top when that aired on FB but then claimed it wasn't because of the shortened length. I'm still not sure what she was mad about if it wasn't that. That scene has a lot of emotional resonance in the original series; and here, it seemed superfluous. Maybe that was the intention though, like so many other semi-fan-servicey bits.

It really increased the sadness and eventual gut punch for me.

Yeah totally. I'm trying to imagine that scene in the forest fading into a 5-minute roadhouse performance and people thinking that was better than what we got

it would have been 2 to three minutes better

Different strokes I guess. They could have had Donna and Bobby reprise their weeping, too, as a recording from the 90s played out, but it's hard to see what that would add - the way they went was purposeful and effective, and we can all still play our old CDs.

I definitely would have liked it longer though not necessarily the whole song.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

wins - the band that played her backing band (was it veils) did that interview about meticulously learning the song and playing it live over and over and then it was just the a short snippet of the performance that barely featured any julie and it was the recorded track from the 90s! obvs there was something up. maybe that clouds the scene for me.

yeah Cruise went off on FB about "the cult" of Lynch. it's a bummer. reminded me of the Michael J. Anderson stuff. and Sherilyn's tweet...

Do you have a link to this? I saw cruise's SABRINA SUTHERLAND DISRESPECTED ME rant but I'm not so interested in stuff like that

Good results btw, although I thought the other chromatics and au revoir songs would get a vote

It's fair to assume, if this poll wasn't Roadhouse specific, that Harry Dean Stanton would've won in a landslide, yes?

Either that or gordon whistling

New Order piano into Dougie wonder tinkle section ftw

LSO played a blinder in ep 8.

(Don't actually know if it's that recording).

I'd love a Trouble album

It was Chromatics who played the backing band for Cruise and in fact played live with her. I think maybe one of the issues was that they wound up using the original recording instead of what was played. Who knows why. Jonny Jewel said in a P4k interview that they practiced it over and over; and they did one take, then Lynch whispered something to her, and he didn't know what it was, and it completely changed the performance and the second one was amazing. Clearly that wasn't what was used in the end.

that Trouble song is great!!!

disappointed the song isn't titled "where's billy" though

Au Revoir Simone underrepresented itt imo

I didn't care for Out of Sand when i first it but I've been revisiting it lately and yeah it emotionally destroys me every time

just getting around to this. that NIN performance was the most embarrassing thing i have ever seen

that’s a low threshold of embarrassment

It’s certainly no sycamore trees, given that it serves a similar purpose in the episode

have i noted my objection to this ilm thread being on ilx yet

an ilm thread on ilx? say it ain't so

cant get jaded in the face of tyranny buck

No votes fof Saturday? Used very beautifully

wtf there are so many more embarrassing things than THE Nine Inch Nails

^^^ the best one

Indeed, one of those votes is mine

rewatching currently and Rebekah Del Rio’s just feels like the original run’s Julee Cruise song. And Moby!

baffles me that Beach House weren’t among these performances

the Broadcast poll had me thinking how they would’ve been a great fit, not necessarily on the stage performance section, but doing whatever Lynch was doing for his sound editing.

the breakdown in the chromatics song "shadow" has a brief moment that directly rips off the verse melody of "wish fulfillment" by sonic youth

when I first saw that episode there was a moment where I thought it might be a cover

I got around to watching this last year and really liked the Lissie song.

Au Revoir Simone is very bad
