On this 34th anniversary of Twin Peaks, I’m singing the praises of an unsung hero of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show – Music Editor Lori Eschler. I’ve long adored Angelo Badalamenti and Julee Cruise’s music as the soundtrack was my gateway the series. While researching a number of various things, I found…
One of the hidden gems during the Real Twin Peaks 2024 event in Snoqualmie Valley, Washington was the Twin Peaks Quartet at Boxley’s in North Bend. I’ve loved jazz from the moment I picked up a saxophone in grade school. While in college, I hosted a Sunday night radio program featuring jazz and blues (along…
This article started with a prompt by fellow Bookhouse Boy and talented musician Daniel Knox (known for “Half Heart: Songs from Twin Peaks”). He asked on Twitter if anyone had a high-resolution image of the cover to “Diane … The TWIN PEAKS Tapes of AGENT COOPER.” Down the rabbit hole I went and ended up…
My goal with Twin Peaks Blog is to document every little detail possible about David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange world. This time, I’m turning my attention to the soundtrack to Lynch’s 1992 feature film – Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Specifically, I’m examining the cassette tape release of the soundtrack in the…

The sounds and music of Twin Peaks were my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. One of the more unique souvenirs I picked up during my first visit to the town of North Bend in August 1996 was a cassette titled “Sounds of TWIN PEAKS.” In the early days of my…
Music has always played an important part of my Twin Peaks obsession as the original soundtrack album was my gateway to the show in 1993. Years later, thanks to the efforts of Dean Hurley, a longtime David Lynch collaborator who operated and managed Lynch’s Asymmetrical Studio from 2005-2018, we were blessed with the release of the Twin Peaks Archive…
In a previous article, I detailed how I picked up the Twin Peaks Season 2 Music and More for Record Store Day on April 13, 2019. Once I returned home, I took a closer look at the soundtrack, which was wrapped in plastic (of course).
Last year was my first time participating in Record Store Day. I had a good reason to go – multiple soundtracks to Twin Peaks on Showtime were released on picture disc vinyl. At the time, I thought my day long adventure would be a one-of-a-kind experience until I saw a tweet from @TwinPeaksBook on February 28, 2019….
In Episode 2015, we catch a glimpse of two vinyl albums laying next to Evelyn Marsh before being confronted by James Hurley. I love when the real world collides with the Twin Peaks world. Considering I collect vinyl albums and I’m a fan of mid-century lounge/exotica, I knew I had to identify these records. As it…
