Buzz' oven, a great sludge metal band has samples from Blue Velvet, but for the life of me I can't find anything that has a sample of Twin Peaks, and I'm a huge obscure music-listener!

AAAAHH, MY INDIE-CRED!!

There was a fiish..iinn the percolatrr!

For anyone who thought that Twin Peaks needed a rap-remix: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3IZS2QddAY&feature=player_embedded

 It's pretty damn good actually...

Hey there!

My brother formed a death/doom metal band - Swallow The Sun- about 10 years ago. The band has been heavily influenced by TP/Lynch and it shows in some of the lyrics and the whole feeling of songs. They have even used TP theme as intro/outro on live shows :) The band is not for everyone, with mostly growling vocals and quite long songs, but there is beauty in the beast if you dare to listen. I love their music!

A song Falling World:

Here´s lyrics for a song These Woods Breathe Evil (from album New Moon, 2009)

These Woods Breathe Evil

"I grasp the soil from the tomb
and cover my face
This face of a murderer"

Serpents betrayed me
They crawled in my head and betrayed me
Old woods, they misled me
Cut my face and misled me

The owls are not what they seem
They made me do it
Am I a ghost amongst them?
But this blood is real that stains my hands

Tortured by these voices, like flies around me
They chased me here and you invited me in...

These woods breathe evil!
Rust on the ground and the arches of fire!
These woods breathe evil!
Here in the circle of eerie winds!
Towards the black heart of magnetic north

Black lodge and red rooms of insanity
Here I reached the point of no return
With my hands around you they chased me here
To this hotel of ghosts
And they showed me this room, this room with a view
And you invited me in...

These woods...
They led me back here, to your buried body...

I just came upon this David Bowie instrumental the other day called "Crystal Japan." I believe it's a Low era recording, so there's no way it could have been inspired by Twin Peaks, but it HUGELY evokes the series...at least to me, anyway.

PEAKS TWIN has just been released by the Mark Frost Appreciation Society (www.thirdofnever.info)

Stream (w/lyrics) the song,  "The Ballad of Rusty Tomaski"

The song is by Hammerlord and is about Windom Earl's heavy metal victim.

Here is some video someone made for the song using images from the show.

Suicidal Tendencies used Jack Nance???

I can't believe no one has mentioned this yet!

 You Say Party! We Say Die!-"Laura Palmer's Prom:" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0KeA6B7pCPU

 References Badalamenti's score, espescially the theme song.  

 Also there are a few things on Les Savy Fav's album Go Forth that seem to take from the show, among them lyrical allusions to "a chick with an eyepatch," "a rare orchid dealer," and one track climaxing in the repetition of the line "the owls will get you!" There are also some synthesizer tones on there somewhat reminiscent of those used on the score.   I can probably think of more if I listen to the record again. 

there's a song by doseone on the album 'ha' which samples the "i am the arm" dialogue by the MFAP in FWWM. it's called 'the universe in 6 jumps' but i have no idea what the lyrics are about. he may well be hijacking it for his own concepts as there's a lot of stuff about arms and losing them in one of his other projects, subtle. (and that's good use of sampling i reckon). would highly recommend the album to anyone interested in hearing what "ambient rap" sounds like (that's my best trite description)

sadly i can't find a youtube link to it though : (

I feel like this Band of Horses song, "Infinite Arms," has something kind of Peaks-y going on. That rising melody at the chorus has a little bit of "Falling" to it.
