Vradio #62: Dry Cleaning: Was I Crazy To Be Thinking About It?

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

This one’s a little longer, and maybe flows less naturally than I’d like, but that’s because I happened upon some mixtape rules so thought I’d follow them:
The title must be a quote from a movie.
1. A song from the last record you bought.
2. A “blues” song. Does not have to be from a blues record, [...]

Twin Peaks #1.8: The Last Evening

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

All the wondering when things would happen–no longer. Things happened here. I realized afterwards, it is because season one is over! I had no idea, thought there were a few more coming. Nope, it’s a cliffhanger!
As a season ender, I thought it was really good. A lot of those [...]

Twin Peaks #1.7: Realization Time

Saturday, March 21st, 2009

“Realization Time”! Did it lead me to any realizations? I guess so?
The police went undercover at One-Eyed Jack’s Casino & Brothel, in order to find Jacques. They do, at the end. I’m not real clear what they suspect Jacques of. Also, Audrey is also undercover there. She [...]

Twin Peaks #1.6: Cooper’s Dreams

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I cannot figure out why I have been unable to get into the swing of this show. I like it, I enjoy the story and am interested, it’s mysterious and intriguing. But I just don’t get in any momentum of watching it, like with other shows, when I watch one or two a [...]

Twin Peaks #1.5: The One Armed Man

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

This episode was relatively quiet, and sane. It was nice. It was mostly concerned with the ongoing police investigation, which continues to heavily rely on Agent Cooper’s dreams. They did hint though that lots of the characters have crazy dreams–they’ve shown Laura’s mother have them, but there was mention that Laura herself [...]
