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. Occasionally, I find items without much history and will share them in hopes…
Interest in Julee Cruise’s first album “Floating Into The Night” grew exponentially following the success of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks. The album was originally released on Sept. 12, 1989 but once audiences heard her music featured during the show’s first season, she became the talk of the town. On June 17, 1990, former…
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…
At the end of April 1991, Star Pics, Inc of West Bloomfield, Michigan released “Twin Peaks Collectible CartArt trading cards.” David Lynch and Mark Frost granted an official license to create these baseball-like cards based on characters, places and icons from the show. While I’m planning a longer feature on this iconic card set, I’m…
The character of Josie Packard in David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks was originally meant for Isabella Rossellini. Her character would have been named Giovana Pasqualini Packard. When scheduling didn’t work, Joan Chen was cast as the “vulnerable outside” as described in a March 1990 publicity photo.
The North Bend Theatre was near capacity and fans were patiently waiting for Julee Cruise to take the stage during the 2016 Twin Peaks Festival, a former yearly celebration of Twin Peaks in and around North Bend, Washington held between 1993-2018. But something was amiss. Julee Cruise was scheduled to perform at 8:30 p.m. between…
