From the 2007 Secrets from Another Place: Creating Twin Peaks special: film music composer Angelo Badalamenti describes how he and David Lynch came up with Laura Palmer’s Theme from Twin Peaks. This is probably one of the most beautiful and haunting pieces of film music I have ever heard. You can buy the soundtrack here.

In case you were wondering, Angelo Badalamenti is the “coffee spitting guy” from Mulholland Drive.

Peter Alsop: Master Creepster of Children Songs

Posted on May 1, 2012 | 2 comments

Kids can be surprisingly morbid. It’s really only natural; ask any parent, and they’ll tell you stories of their kids asking about dying. I am not sure we should be composing cute Raffi-like songs about death though either. That hasn’t stopped Peter Alsop from writing a one of the creepiest kid songs ever. The video is a bit disheartening too. The little ginger boy will haunt me tonight.

Peter Alsop is a creepmaster of other songs too. His other CDs include songs like “Don’t Put Your Hand In My Pants”, “My Brother Threw Up On My Stuffed Toy Bunny” and “Poop Goes The Weasel” (we assure you: that last was not a typo).

"NO, NOT THE STUBBLE! IT MAKES ME LOOK RAKISH!"

The new film from John Hillcoat (The Road) tells the tale of the Bondurant brothers, a family of Depression-era bootleggers in rural Virginia. Inspired by author Matt Bondurant’s family in his true story novel “The Wettest County in the World“, the loyalty of three brothers is put to the test against urban gangsters looking to move in on their business.

The film, which stars Tom Hardy, Gary Oldman, and Guy Pearce (and Shia LaBeouf), opens August 31.
