The music of Twin Peaks was my gateway to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s wonderful and strange show. Decades later, I can’t get enough of the dreamy jazz synth that transports me to another world. I was recently contacted by Owen Van Spall, a programmer at Riverside Studios in London, about an incredibly unique opportunity to…
It is difficult to see a world without David Lynch as anything other than grey. But if there is one positive thing to come from his passing, it is that fans are compelled to gather and celebrate an Art Life well lived. I recently attended a fan-created memorial honoring David at a funeral home in…
One of my favorite free panel discussions during the Real Twin Peaks 2025 event was “Always Music in the Air – The Sounds of Twin Peaks.” Scott Ryan, author and editor of “Blue Rose Magazine” and Josh Eisenstadt, Director, Screenwriter and long-time Twin Peaks fan, spoke to a packed house at Boxley’s in North Bend, Washington…
In 1992, New Line Cinema faced a difficult situation for David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me. Following the film’s Cannes Film Festival debut on May 16, newspapers reported audiences “booed” the screening.

More than three decades after its debut, the mysteries from David Lynch’s masterpiece Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me are still being solved. Using modern technology combined with a tenacious spirit, fellow Bookhouse Boy Matthew Haywood has helped discover Agent Sam Stanley’s Whiteman Machine and Laura Palmer’s textbook. Now, he’s found a match for Regional…
I’d like to think the official beer of Twin Peaks is Rainier Beer. At the time the first two seasons and David Lynch’s feature film were made, the taps were still flowing at the Washington state brewery. Today, the Rainier brand is owned and operated by Pabst Brewing Company and the beer is produced in California….
The first 35 minutes of David Lynch’s Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me is some kind of wonderful fever dream. From Chris Isaak and Kiefer Sutherland’s performances to the strangeness of Deer Meadow, I return time and time again to these scenes. After identifying the Shyvers Multiphone in Hap’s Diner and Agent Sam Stanley’s “Whiteman Instrument”…
As I look back on my decades-long fascination with Twin Peaks, there are times I wish I paid more attention and took more photographs. My opening night visit to the 20th Anniversary of Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me exhibition at Copro Gallery in Southern California is one of those times. More than a decade after…
