A few years ago during the COVID-19 global pandemic, I fell in love with Wim Wenders’ Until the End of the World. In 2019, Criterion released an epic 287-minute director’s cut of this ultimate science-fiction road trip staring Solveig Dommartin, William Hurt, Sam Neil and Max Von Sydow with gorgeous cinematography by Robby Müller. While…
Twin Peaks mania descended on the United Kingdom when the BBC2 began airing David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show on Tuesday, Oct. 23, 1990. Britain immediately fell in love with the dreamy music created by Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise. “The Independent’s” long time music critic Andy Gill spoke with the musicians…
Julee Cruise appeared as the Girl Singer in the Twin Peaks pilot episode that aired on April 8, 1990. Her performance sparked a renewed interest in her freshman album, “Floating Into The Night.” Many months passed until she returned to The Roadhouse stage in the highly-anticipated, David Lynch-directed episode 2.007 that aired on Nov. 10, 1990….
Twin Peaks Blog has provided well-researched, factual and interesting stories since Feb. 2018. This was an important aspect of creating this site as I wanted to document and archive all aspects of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show, Twin Peaks.

The world was first introduced to Julee Cruise when she performed as the “Girl Singer” in the pilot episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. As part of Julee in June on Twin Peaks Blog, here is a look at her brief but memorable performance at The Roadhouse.
I recently shared how Julee Cruise’s first single from her “Floating Into The Night” album was ‘Rockin’ Back Inside My Heart,” a modern song with a nod to the 1950s that famously played in Twin Peaks episode 2.007. A video for the song would begin playing on VH-1 in North America around Dec. 22, 1989, followed…
I’m continuously amazed at how may postcards exist of Snoqualmie Falls in Snoqualmie, Washington. I’ve been collecting them for a few years now due to their connection to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. I recently acquired a black and white postcard printed by the former Seattle-based company of Lowman and Hanford. The card is…
Did you know that Julee Cruise’s first single from her 1989 “Floating Into the Night” album was not the main theme to Twin Peaks set to vocals? Her iconic song “Falling” would be released on a single on June 12, 1990 following a last minute performance on Saturday Night Live on May 12 and continued excitement…
I love when the real world of Snoqualmie Valley, Washington intersects with the wonderful and strange world of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. In Twin Peaks: The Return, there are several hand-painted murals seen across the street from the Double R Diner (known as Twede’s Cafe in North Bend). Local Artist Richard “Dick” Burhans created…
