Writing the music for Twin Peaks
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.

Married… with Children in other countries
Twenty-five years ago, the new Fox Network began airing their first prime time sitcom, Married… with Children.

The concept, characters, and even scripts from the original Fox series have been remade in countries all over the world. Here is what they look like.

Monday Music Rewind: Fountains of Wayne
Fountains of Wayne is an American power pop band that formed in New York City in 1996. The band consists of members Chris Collingwood, Adam Schlesinger, Jody Porter and Brian Young.
Initially the band went by other names, including Are You My Mother? and Woolly Mammoth, before settling on Fountains of Wayne, taken from a lawn ornament store in Wayne, New Jersey. The store was located at the intersection of U.S. Route 46 and New Jersey Route 23,[3] not far from Montclair, New Jersey, the hometown of the band’s bassist and co-founder Adam Schlesinger. The store can be seen in The Sopranos episode “Another Toothpick” as well.
The store went out of business in 2009.
“Radiation Vibe” was the first single by Fountains of Wayne, from their debut album also titled Fountains of Wayne. It was released in 1996. It remains my favorite FOW song.
Buy this song here.
