Do it. You know you wanna. Go here, or download this link, pour a big ass whiskey, and give yourself over to 25 minutes of musing, reflecting, and some serious contemplating, as snippets of favourite movies, songs, and other sonic ambiences swim in and out of your consciousness. These guys are Alan Black and Andy Smart (AKA Colatron – responsible for some of the Twin Peaks mash-ups I’ve been posting). They rock. Where does one find more sound like this?
This is fairly disturbing. Coming in at #2 on the Mashed in Plastic playlist this little mash-up of Badalamenti’s The Pink Room and AC/DC’s The Jack. Remember tittering at this as a young pubescent kid? Well titter no more. In the hands of these guys, and spliced with Twin Peaks footage, it becomes downright nasty. Gets in your head and twists it some. I was watching/listening on headphones, and swear I had to look over my shoulder a few times…who’s there?…did I lock the freaking door?!?…in other words, really really good.
WARNING: for all those out there who haven’t watched Twin Peaks or Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me and still puzzle over “Who killed Laura Palmer?”, this reveals all. Don’t watch it yet. Get out there and buy/rent/steal the Definitive Gold Box Set and get busy you slackers! TV was never the same after this. Truly.
This is currently getting heavy rotation round here – and just love this vid. Amanda Palmer has the most awesome eyebrows!
I guess it’s inevitable that at some point every Peaks-freak is gonna post something related to their love of the series, nay, whole mythology of Twin Peaks.
Random surfing landed me in the lap (er…so to speak) of a number of mash-ups on Mashed in Plastic, featuring some stellar audio and video mixing.
This then the first one that popped up – of all people Kylie mashed with Angelo Badalamenti. I have to say, I even tracked down the Kylie song afterwards. And that’s saying something! And it ain’t half bad. What the hell is going on?!
While I worry and gibber about my impending onslaught of mid-pop senility, here’s Twin Hearts. Enjoy…
This is really cool. Go to The Virtual Piano and bash around for awhile on the keyboard, play chords like a virtuoso (heyyy – virtual/ virtuoso…nice), change keys effortlessly.
An awesome way to spend/waste some time that’s actually educational.
He will, you know. That last post wasn’t a hoax – hell, it was in the paper and all, so it must be true.
C’mon – get involved…send your tweets to @ScreamUrTweets and go check out in about a week’s time to see if you made the cut.
In the meantime, here is Episode 2 – chosen over the first one because of the end bit…watch all the way through…I nearly died laughing. Truly. “Take that, penguins!” Classic!
Truly. A latter day scattered genius…and funny to boot. This then his latest scheme – send him your tweets and he’ll scream ‘em from the top of Devil’s Peak, film himself doing so, and post it on his site here. Modern communication – gotta love it.
Just before you get totally sick of it all, here’s old FOTC again, doing their rap battle “Hiphopopotamus vs. Rhymenoceros”. Classic.
There’s a better radio version at the BBC if you comb around for it, but live you get to see their facial expressions and interaction with audience etc, so at least you understand some of the other laughs. Comic duo of the month! (even though I’m a few years behind…)
What did someone say? Creativity is 7% sweat, 93% avoiding the internet? …or something like that.
Well, ees a bit of a blue Tuesday (actually bit of a blue period generally) so when I saw this link and blindly followed it, it did actually cheer me up some. Thanks Max!
Apparently there’s a whole series of these, featuring A-ha, REM, Nirvana etc…but this seems to have caught everyone’s imagination the most. Check it. Then forget about it and continue having a good day.
