  • David Lynch, Twin Peaks Creator, Brings Paintings to Brisbane's GOMA
    Bodey, Michael. “David Lynch, Twin Peaks creator, brings paintings to Brisbane’s GOMA.” The Australian. 15 November 2014. Web. David Lynch, Twin Peaks creator, brings paintings to Brisbane’s GOMA Airplane Tower (2013) by David Lynch. Source: Supplied By Michael Bodey THE story seems familiar. An individual, a one-time phenomenon in one field, pulls back from the spotlight to concentrate on their true love: painting. Filmmaker David Lynch, however, is no peripatetic painter. He’s an art school graduate, and as a child he dreamed of a life of painting but thought it an unachievable folly. That was until a mentor showed him it could be otherwise. Lynch was a promising young artist before moving to the screen in such an indelible fashion, creating off-kilter films and the seminal television series Twin Peaks, which will return next year reimagined 25 years after the crime. And while the world in 2015 will be waiting to see what exactly the auteur does with that famous series, Lynch will have his artistic focus set, at least briefly, on Australia. In March, Lynch will make his first visit to these shores when Brisbane’s Gallery of Modern Art presents one of the largest surveys of his work, a retrospective of the American’s paintings, sculptures and films. The exclusive show of some 200 works, entitled David Lynch: Between Two Worlds and curated by QAGOMA’s Jose Da Silva, continues a late-career renaissance for a man better known for the breathtaking and singularly distinct cinema and television style that marked the 1980s and 90s, beginning with Eraserhead in 1977 through to Mulholland Drive 24 years later.

About a year and a half lat- er, we started working on what would eventually become our biggest release, Twin Cities Funk & Soul: Lost R&B Grooves From Minneapolis/St. Paul 1964-1979. What follows is our attempt to share with you some of the amazing stories, history, and photos that have been so gracious- ly shared with us during the course of producing a compilation of soulful tunes from our hometown. ..... R&B, soul, and funk music in the Twin Cities of Minneapolis and St. Paul, Minnesota went through dra- matic changes during the 1960s and 1970s. Predating these changes, a vibrant jazz scene beginning in the 1920s laid the groundwork with several players being instrumental in helping teach young local R&B mu- sicians how to play. However, many of the early R&B pioneers, including Mojo Buford, Maurice McKin- nies, and Willie Walker, came to Minnesota from other states and brought the music with them.

    www.tftw.org.uk The Roots Music Magazine including Rock'n'Roll, R&B, soul, jazz, folk, The Roots Music Networking Group country and 63 much more PORRETTA SUPPLEMENT © Paul Harris Words by Dave Carroll Pictures by Paul Harris 1 Porretta Soul Festival – 22-24 July 2011 If there were one message from this year’s festival, it would be that life is precious. Tributes were paid to three artists who had died since last year’s edition: Solomon Burke, a champion of the festival whose most recent appearance had been two years ago, and Clay Hammond and Al Green (of the Green Brothers), who had both performed last year. Of course, each of these three singers could be said to have had a good innings; however, during the festival, reports came through of the tragedy unfolding in Norway and the loss of many young lives, and also the, perhaps not unexpected, early death of Amy Winehouse. Adding to the sense of loss was a moving speech by the widow of Ernesto De Pascale, a journalist who had made a valued contribution to the growth of the festival. Porretta 2011 will also be remembered for the weather. Whilst the pessimist amongst us had predicted rain on the basis of the forecast of a 50% chance of precipitation each day, he turned out to be no more than half right. We did eventually wake up to rain on the third morning, but fortunately none of the performances were affected, although the lower than usual temperatures during the day meant for some cold evenings to the extent that several layers of clothing were required, and even a woolly hat was called for on the last night.

  • How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television
    “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” 44 DOI: 10.1515/abcsj-2015-0003 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style”: How Twin Peaks Changed the Face of Contemporary Television RALUCA MOLDOVAN Babeş-Bolyai University, Cluj-Napoca Abstract The present study revisits one of American television’s most famous and influential shows, Twin Peaks, which ran on ABC between 1990 and 1991. Its unique visual style, its haunting music, the idiosyncratic characters and the mix of mythical and supernatural elements made it the most talked-about TV series of the 1990s and generated numerous parodies and imitations. Twin Peaks was the brainchild of America’s probably least mainstream director, David Lynch, and Mark Frost, who was known to television audiences as one of the scriptwriters of the highly popular detective series Hill Street Blues. When Twin Peaks ended in 1991, the show’s severely diminished audience were left with one of most puzzling cliffhangers ever seen on television, but the announcement made by Lynch and Frost in October 2014, that the show would return with nine fresh episodes premiering on Showtime in 2016, quickly went viral and revived interest in Twin Peaks’ distinctive world. In what follows, I intend to discuss the reasons why Twin Peaks was considered a highly original work, well ahead of its time, and how much the show was indebted to the legacy of classic American film noir; finally, I advance a few speculations about the possible plotlines the series might explore upon its return to the small screen. Keywords: Twin Peaks, television series, film noir, David Lynch Introduction: the Lynchian universe In October 2014, director David Lynch and scriptwriter Mark Frost announced that Twin Peaks, the cult TV series they had created in 1990, would be returning to primetime television for a limited nine episode run 45 “That Show You Like Might Be Coming Back in Style” broadcast by the cable channel Showtime in 2016.
