Episode 9 - Transcript
Episode 9 - Transcript I’m Gustav Söderström. I head up product, engineering, data and design for Spotify. And this is the season finale of Spotify: A Product Story. On this show, we’ve brought you the untold stories behind Spotify’s biggest product launches -- from building a full-stack solution that let us stream audio faster than ever before: Daniel Ek: Already from day one, the ambition was always to revolutionize the music industry. It was never about being a so, so start up. To inventing, and then re-inventing, our entire business model just in time for the smartphone revolution: Petra Hansson: The access model and subscription, I think that scared the music rights holders a little bit. To entering the realm of hardware, and upending some conventions along the way: Nicole Burrow: You have to just stay focused on the end user. Like, for them it's about getting what they're playing from their device to their speaker. It's just important that the experience remains consistent for them. To pioneering the machine-learning that helps you find your next favorite song: Ajay Kalia: We were seeing like a 100 percent increase, like 2x increase. Like I've never seen numbers that high in a first test in Spotify and probably never will again. In retrospect, these decisions often look obvious. But that’s only because they worked -- you might know this as “survivor bias”. But in the moment, they are absolutely not obvious -- at all. And that’s really what this episode is about. Because on today’s show, we’re going to talk about what we’re up to right now. -

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. -
Twin Peaks at Twenty-Five
IN FOCUS: Returning to the Red Room—Twin Peaks at Twenty-Five Foreword by DAVID LAVERY or Twin Peaks (ABC, 1990–1991), 2015 was a damn fine year. The last annum has seen the completion of a new collection of critical essays ( Jeffrey Weinstock and Catherine Spooner’s Return to “Twin Peaks”: New Approaches to Theory & Genre in Television), an international conference in the United Kingdom (“ ‛I’ll See You Again Fin 25 Years’: The Return of Twin Peaks and Generations of Cult TV” at the University of Salford), and the current In Focus.1 Not coincidently, this has transpired alongside the commissioning of the return of the series on the American premium cable channel Showtime for a 2017 debut. Long before this Twin Peaks renaissance, the place of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s “quirky quality” series in TV history was, however, already secure.2 As the creator of the iconic series Mad Men, Matthew Weiner, now fifty years old, put it definitively: “I was already out of college when Twin Peaks came on, and that was where I became aware of what was possible on television.”3 Twin Peaks has played a central role as well in our understanding of what is possible in television studies. As I have written and spoken about elsewhere, the collection Full of Secrets: Critical Approaches to “Twin 1 See Jeffrey Weinstock and Catherine Spooner, eds., Return to “Twin Peaks”: New Approaches to Materiality, Theory, and Genre on Television (Basingstoke, UK: Palgrave Macmillan, 2015).

Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television
Smashing the Small Screen David Lynch, Twin Peaks and Reinventing Television KYLE BARRETT David Lynch began his career as a fine artist and his films have always had a strong sense of visual style, even within the conventions of narrative cinema, which tends to fore ground effectswork or script-based character development over aesthetic verisimilitude. -Odell (163) Moving into filmmakingwith his debut animated short Six Figures Get ting Sick {1967), David Lynch developed subversive filmmaking techniques that would later be employed in his later live-action shorts and feature films. Many stylistic elements have evolved fromhis earlier work, including the use of an experimental soundscape, wide-angles, long sustained close-ups and use (and absence) of color. Jane Evans Braziel notes, "His visual style, influ enced by artists Francis Bacon, Jackson Pollock and Edward Hopper, balances narrative with non-representational images. The effectis a startling beautiful, if bizarre and sometimes horrifying, montage of sights, sounds, bodies, lights and movement that denaturalises the parameters of space and time, and con ventions of embodiment, violence, sex, desire and gender" {108). Both embracing and abandoning conventional production practices, Lynch has created an easily identifiable-"Lynchian" -style, successfully translated to the small screen with the seminal Twin Peaks (1990-91). Lynch's firstfeature film, Eraserhead, became a cult hit on the midnight movie circuit, leading to directing duties on the Mel Brooks-produced The Elephant Man. The critical success of this gave Lynch the chance to direct a big budget science fictionfilm, Dune, the result of which became a box-office 47 48 Approaching Twin Peaks and critical failure. -

Her photographic portrait, previously displayed among the trophies and other photos in a cabinet at the local high school they attended (we see it at the beginning of the first episode),1 sits on the table of a meeting room. It had been stored in one of the two containers used to hold the official documents in the investigation into Lau- ra’s murder; like two Pandora’s boxes, these containers have been opened following a statement from the Log: “Something is missing”. That ‘something’ – Margaret Lanterman (‘The Log Lady’) clarifies to deputy Hawk – concerns Agent Cooper and, consequently, his investigation into Laura Palmer’s death. The scene is rather moving, not least because, after four episodes, viewers finally hear the famous and touching Laura Palmer’s theme for the first time.2 As the music starts, we see Bobby’s face, having entered the meeting room where Frank Truman, Tommy Hawks, Lucy, and Andy are gathered. He literally freezes in front of Lau- ra’s framed image, and a ‘dialog’ begin between the two ex-lovers; 1 It’s the same portrait showed at the beginning of the first season, actually the portrait of Laura Palmer. -
