i decided to have a complete dork-out and watch twin peaks from beginning to end (excluding the fucking pilot!! which i want!!). i made this mix to keep me in that eerie, haunted feeling while i'm getting ready for work, and driving to and from, so i can have a twin peaks spectacular. none of this is from or inspired by twin peaks - i use too much angelo/fire walk with me in my mixes already. this is simply a mix that gives the same mood/feeling that i get from watching twin peaks. so nerd out with me. and enjoy.

1 Kaada/Patton : Seule

2 Aphex Twin : [Stone in Focus]
another mood piece. yes, it's slow, but given the right context, i think this song can be incredibly moving/provoking, especially with the driving metronome/clicking.

This should be Wrapped In Plastic. In a Good Way. All my mixes have something to do with Twin Peaks, whether I knew it at the time or not.

Duh, You should only watch the pilot, season one and season two once then burn it, if you haven't spent 45 Bucks on it. Remember when I first got Kadda/Patton, You said you didn't like it that much, lame ass. Good mix besides your constant filp flopping.

I think this is the second or third mix on the site with that title.

But really all I can say is I agree with Eraserhead.
