Why when everyone mention all the genres that Twin Peaks mixes together they never discuss the comedy? What stood out to me the most the first time I watched that show was how genuinely hilarious it could be at times.
You didn't even mention how the album loops the end of the final song leads right into the opening of the first. I frequently listen to it on loop. It's perfect.
It's interesting because you could argue that Twin Peaks' first 2 seasons are a time loop. Dale dreams at the beginning that he's an old man 25 years into the future and then at the final episode he enters the Red Room where he waits 25 years and appears in his own dream
Well Anthony literally said "Xiu xiu play the music of twin peaks.....forever" in the end, so I'm sorry to tell you that you've been wrong for the last 5 years
That’s a brilliant idea. It’s like the Finnegan’s Wake of music, as that book ends with the first half of a sentence, the second half being the opening block of text at the very beginning, lowercase and everything. An infinite loop.
"Josie's Past" vocal snippet is from an entry in the book "the secret diary of Laura Palmer." This album is like another Soundtracks for the Blind to me!
just had a listen. was not familiar with Xiu xiu at all. Props for keeping the material intact. Props for being super weird. Props for the use (not overuse) of noise. I will most likely listen to this when driving through dark trees, when it's black as midnight as a moonless night.
3:35 - Laura Palmer's Theme 4:42 - Into the Night 4:53 - Audrey's Dance - Packard's Vibration - Nightsea Wind 5:20 - Blue Frank / Pink Room 5:50 - Sycamore Tree - Harold's Theme - Dance of the Dream Man 2:54 - Falling - Love Theme Farewell 6:34 - Josie's Past
Love how people are telling him to review it a day after it came out and if he did butt hurt drake fans would be saying he didn't take enough time to listen to it...
Y'all tripping on the views hate.. Hype, weston road flows, still here, feel no ways, one dance, Grammys, child's play, pop style, too good & not mention hotline bling r all 🔥🔥🔥
I love Dale Cooper because he has characteristics of a protagonist that wouldn't go over well to the modern viewer. First: unlike most modern protagonists, he is pretty incompetent. He is constantly screwing things up, even though he has good intentions. Second: unlike most modern protagonists, he is genuinely a nice guy. Most protagonists are cocky, special snowflakes, and jerks. Not Dale Cooper, he is a good dude, who keeps screwing things up. Great show!!! and I also Luv The Valley OH!!!
Ruse of Fools I agree! I love how in the new season they kinda locked in on that, cooper can’t save everyone and at the end the sense of dread is felt so much I almost panicked. What a ride!!
You were on the right track, it is a piece from Laura's diary. When they performed it live, they had the xylophone player come forward and read directly from the book.
I agree. Anthony reviews a lot of Hip-Hop and often but he's not a Hip-Hop channel. Unless it's really underground you don't even need to tell him to review it, he already knows about it otherwise more than likely.
Thank you so much for introducing me to this album. My only regret with picking it up on the sixteenth was hearing that you missed out on that opportunity. It's a real RSD tragedy. All the sympathy to you.
Jesus of Cool Because Anthony was talking about the strange things that come from the mind of David Lynch. Jack Nance starred in Eraserhead, he didn't create it.
He was talking about David Lynch and showed a picture of Jack Nance. Those of us that are familiar with Eraserhead noticed it, but people who aren't might not.
Anthony if you manage to still read comments this late I highly recommend Nicolas Jaar's Essential Mix from BBC Radio 1, the first 30 minutes or so is an ode to the soundtrack of Twin Peaks.
Hey man, I'm from Holland and there's an electro-band from my city who've just released their debut album. The bands name is Hömpfdinga and the album is called Fjord. Check it out, you should review it next!
Glad you love it as much as I do! I bought it after hearing you talk about it (I love Twin Peaks, but had never heard of Xiu Xiu) - and I'm so pleased I did. Also: On Josie's Past, I may be wrong but I think it's Angelo Seo reading from the Diaries of Laura Palmer (a tie-in book written by Jennifer Lynch - David's daughter and director of Boxing Helena).
The spoken part from Josie’s Past is a direct excerpt from The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, a tie-in book written by David Lynch’s daughter and published between the first and second season. I recommend it.
Y'all tripping on the views hate.. Hype, weston road flows, still here, feel no ways, one dance, Grammys, child's play, pop style, too good & not mention hotline bling r all 🔥🔥🔥
"Josie's Past" is indeed a reading of "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" and as far as I can tell it's an original extract. Jennifer Lynch wrote it and it is very disturbing stuff. The album is awesome, though, you should see them performing the project live, I was blown away.
I was hoping you would make this review!! As an avid Twin Peaks and Xiu Xiu fan I couldn't agree with you more on this. When I heard Laura Palmer's theme I was absolutely in awe :-)
I think you're right about Josie's Past. It definitely is from Laura Palmer's diary. Probably read it from a copy that you can buy in stores since the passage is much longer than anything read in the show.
Hey anthony. Just a casual fan of your videos, but consedering the nature of the album, are you a fan of Twin Peaks? Your couple tid bits of info on it got me really interesting to see if you have a concise and deep opinion of the show as I would love a vivid discussion on it. In case you aren't too into it I would also love to hear your thoughts on it. SPECIALLY the "weak" subplots season 2 has.
So many people are carried away, thanks for reviewing this novelty album. But I haven't found anywhere to listen to what isn't on soundcloud, does anyone know where I could hear the whole thing?
+theneedledrop Josie Packard certainly had a history with the black lodge and with bob himself. There was a scene that got cut from the finale in which Josie pokes her head out of the black lodge curtains indicating that her head (representing her mind or soul) are free from lodge and most likely trapped in the wood of the great northern much like the soul of the log lady's husband is trapped in her log and Josie's physical body is trapped in the lodge for the use of its demented inhabitants. Josie's history is something that did not get fully fleshed out in the series but would have had they gotten a third season or had Joan Chen not asked to be written out of the show. It will be interesting to see if Josie's past is explored in Mark Frosts upcoming book, The Secret History of Twin Peaks, or in the new series (even though Joan Chen is nowhere to be found on the recently released cast list). Cheers for a great review and for the twin peaks love!
It's probably already been said here already, but the spoken word part on "Josie's Past" is read by Angela of Xiu Xiu from the Diary of Laura Palmer, which was written and released officially for Twin Peaks. I think she does a pretty good job of imitating Laura's voice, although it can be a bit grating.
Demn I know, but this album is a total new wave of the band, the progression, the groove and ambient vibes. Everything about it is amazing! My favriote so far!
Just got into these videos and they are great. Can you review Elektrac by Shobaleader One, Flashes of Quincy by Snowball II and Drool by Nnamdi Ogbonnaya?
the last track is an excerpt from "the secret diary of laura palmer", incidentally created by jennifer lynch. kind of a weird read, but it's cool supplemental material
This is way better than the new album Forget, which I can't get into at all. This album is the only one accessible enough for someone who doesn't like Xiu Xiu's sound, and Jamie's voice.
Ah, I can see that. I find it to be a rather polarizing album by them since it has something to offer for both pop and noise enthusiasts. A 6.5/10 for me.
Or their "All Fours" record? Sausagany pizzatano.... Youll love bosse de nage. Theyre experimental black metal and theyve gotta get reviewed effective immediately.
Why when everyone mention all the genres that Twin Peaks mixes together they never discuss the comedy? What stood out to me the most the first time I watched that show was how genuinely hilarious it could be at times.
Yea at times it totally feels like a soap opera parody
Cal didn't die, he went to the Black Lodge.
Who's to say he hasn't been from the Black Lodge this whole time?
How about that season three though?
The Best Teeth in the Game took his place as his doppleganger
The gum you like to xiu xiu is going to come back in style
You didn't even mention how the album loops the end of the final song leads right into the opening of the first.
I frequently listen to it on loop. It's perfect.
Nonagon Infinity opens the door...nonagon infinity opens the door.

Agree with you so much, I had the pleasure of seeing Xiu Xiu play the Twin Peaks soundtrack in full in a tiny church in east London and nearly cried
That's some damn fine coffee 10/10
On the song Josie's past it's a diary entry from the book " the secret diary of Laura Palmer"
Can't wait for that 3/10 on views!
Love how people are telling him to review it a day after it came out and if he did butt hurt drake fans would be saying he didn't take enough time to listen to it...
tbh i fucking hate views. Honestly dont know why people are getting of to that shit.

+jaidsalgado IMO it's great but I'm not Ye.
+Dizzy Derbs can download it on icanleaking.com ! Great site tbh
On the last track, Josie's Past, the spoken word part is from "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer," a spin-off novel written by David Lynch's daughter.
EVERYONE
PolyVinyl just announced a repress of this album on clear/white vinyl, so don't worry if you missed it on RSD.
Oh my fucking God!! I just finished watching Twin Peaks! I gotta check this out!
I love Dale Cooper because he has characteristics of a protagonist that wouldn't go over well to the modern viewer. First: unlike most modern protagonists, he is pretty incompetent. He is constantly screwing things up, even though he has good intentions. Second: unlike most modern protagonists, he is genuinely a nice guy.

Ruse of Fools I agree! I love how in the new season they kinda locked in on that, cooper can’t save everyone and at the end the sense of dread is felt so much I almost panicked. What a ride!!
I've seen them playing this material live - it was just fucking awesome.
man fantano it really sucks that all your comments are just a meme jambalaya. i still love your reviews though! (: ♡
You were on the right track, it is a piece from Laura's diary. When they performed it live, they had the xylophone player come forward and read directly from the book.
Watch this album be the music of the 2017 continuation.
Noah Nelson I hope so
You just made me buy the album without even listening to it.
dope
Where did you buy it? I can't find it anywhere
+Danny Worsfold Polyvinyl website
noob
Hip hop fans really come off as the worst
why tf do they even comment here if they don't listen to this music...? I listen to hip hop too but I'm just like, fuck off about views lmao
I agree. Anthony reviews a lot of Hip-Hop and often but he's not a Hip-Hop channel.
Unless it's really underground you don't even need to tell him to review it, he already knows about it otherwise more than likely.
+Bartholomule01 I agree.
+Ronald Steyn I second what Ronald said
rock fans are worse so u cant rly complain
I GOT THE REVIEW NOTES FOR THIS REVIEW!!! Thanks for sending them to me Anthony, it's awesome
Thank you so much for introducing me to this album. My only regret with picking it up on the sixteenth was hearing that you missed out on that opportunity. It's a real RSD tragedy. All the sympathy to you.
LISTEN UP GUYS! He only wears that hat when he's giving a 9/10 or a 10/10 so we know beforehand
He wears the beanie when he's giving good ratings. He gave darkest before dawn a 7
I feel like 99% of the people that comment on needle drop are Kendrick fans that hate Drake lmfao.
+The Trilluminati good taste... even though drake makes really good bangers, kendrik is an experience.
That picture is Jack Nance, not David Lynch, from the Eraserhead poster.
+viralinfecticide beat me to it
+viralinfecticide He knew that. Eraserhead was directed by David Lynch.
How do you know he didn't know that?
Jesus of Cool Because Anthony was talking about the strange things that come from the mind of David Lynch. Jack Nance starred in Eraserhead, he didn't create it.

Saw this live in Moscow last year. Awesome stuff.
ya ya ok review TPAB already
he did last year

2019 has got some news for you
"LEAST FAV TRACK: HAROLD'S THEME"
WHAT!!!!!! that's one of the best tracks!!!
The spoken part from Josie’s Past is a direct excerpt from The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer, a tie-in book written by David Lynch’s daughter and published between the first and second season. I recommend it.
Y'all tripping on the views hate.. Hype, weston road flows, still here, feel no ways, one dance, Grammys, child's play, pop style, too good & not mention hotline bling r all 🔥🔥🔥
Dude! I told you like 5 years ago that you were going to LOVE XiuXiu. Guess I was right :D
The good Cal is in the Lodge
Fantano is the doppleganger
"Josie's Past" is indeed a reading of "The Secret Diary of Laura Palmer" and as far as I can tell it's an original extract. Jennifer Lynch wrote it and it is very disturbing stuff. The album is awesome, though, you should see them performing the project live, I was blown away.
I felt like Laura's theme was a little too fast. Like it moves through each section pretty quickly. The rest of the album is incredible.
The ending reminds me of my childhood.
The nina album has been on the back of my mind since you did the review and I never got around to it, now I wish I did check it out a lot sooner
I was hoping you would make this review!! As an avid Twin Peaks and Xiu Xiu fan I couldn't agree with you more on this. When I heard Laura Palmer's theme I was absolutely in awe :-)
I think you're right about Josie's Past. It definitely is from Laura Palmer's diary. Probably read it from a copy that you can buy in stores since the passage is much longer than anything read in the show.
I know it's a longshot that you review it, but that Kyle Craft album is awesome
What other Xiu Xiu albums do you think I should check out to get into the band?
Since they are bringing the show back, will they be using this soundtrack?
I could never get into them because of the vocals but I love the instrumentation. This is the antidote for me, fantastic experimental album.
Not sure if you know that but Falling is a version of the Twin Peaks Theme written by Julee Cruise. That's why Jamie is singing there.
Love twin peaks and was unaware xiu xiu did this. Thank you for bringing it to my attention.

Giving a 9 to a cover album is unheard of
Curious about your opinion on Haken's new album Anthony just listened to it and thought it was decent.
They're taking pre-orders for the repress right now in case anyone was wondering.
So many people are carried away, thanks for reviewing this novelty album. But I haven't found anywhere to listen to what isn't on soundcloud, does anyone know where I could hear the whole thing?

Please review "Fallujah - Dreamless 2016"
It is a kind of atmospheric progressive metal record! very good production, check it out!
He reviewed the previous album "flesh prevails "
Demn I know, but this album is a total new wave of the band, the progression, the groove and ambient vibes. Everything about it is amazing! My favriote so far!
+Demn didn't he give The Flesh Prevails a 3/10? I doubt he'd like Dreamless any better
+Radhwan Jubair anthony doesn't like progressive metal. sorry dude
Looking forward to the King Gizzard review
I don't get why you make this record sound so enticing if I can't get it.
+bloop bloop You can get it on Polyvinyl's website.
it's getting another pressing don't worry
+theneedledrop thank you!
+rand42Studios there is no such thing as a wrong apinion
+rand42Studios but he's right...
Anthony, were waiting for views!
So goddamn happy with this album.
Thoughts on the new Andy Stott, Leon Vynehall, and Moderat?
Any chance of a Cult of Luna // Mariner review?
Does anybody know where to listen to the full album? I've only seen the two songs on Soundcloud
Dear Anthony, will you review "hopelessness" by Anohni??
Anthony, I know you're overwhelmed with requests rn, but come on my friend, Impossible Kid
@TheNeedleDrop, would you consider doing Azizi Gibson projects reviews?
Thankyouthony in Advancano
congrats , you made me wanna listen to this!
This is so strange. I literally started watching twin peaks 2 days ago and then you drop this video on me... damn.
LET'S ROCK
Just got into these videos and they are great. Can you review Elektrac by Shobaleader One, Flashes of Quincy by Snowball II and Drool by Nnamdi Ogbonnaya?
Has fantano seen Twin Peaks The Return? I'm curious to see what he thinks of if
the last track is an excerpt from "the secret diary of laura palmer", incidentally created by jennifer lynch. kind of a weird read, but it's cool supplemental material
Can't wait for antoine fantoine to roast views.
I guessing strong 4 light 5
6/10 for Toronto
2/10
+heyitsconnor1 he probably give it a 9/10 because it's lackluster; irony
4/10
Are you going to review impossible kid?
Will you review YC's compilation "The Farewell Tape"?
is it an instrumental album ?
Bottomless Pit 10/10 confirmed
9/10? Damn you liked it a lot more than I did. I'd give it a decent to strong 7.
Oh yea and btw, Views is a light to decent 3
+Brandon Standifer Looool
Hey buddy, are you reviewing the new Aesop Rock?
That new Pity Sex album, White Hot Moon is calling your name Anthony.
This is way better than the new album Forget, which I can't get into at all. This album is the only one accessible enough for someone who doesn't like Xiu Xiu's sound, and Jamie's voice.
Aren't you going to review Aesop Rock's The Impossible Kid ??
When do we get that reVIEWS though ?
what a time to be alive!!!!
Best album of 2016
Waiting for the 10/10 for LP9.
+TechnicLePanther ples
+TechnicLePanther same same
AOTY 2018
Would love a review of Nonagon Infinity, the new King Gizz record!
yo do you not do question videos any more or are they all on thatistheplan? I like some of your non-review content
I'm completely unfamiliar with Xiu Xiu, but they sound fascinating. Which album(s) should I start with?
first three albums, everything after is meh to garbage. Unclouded sky is decent as well
+Jack Morgan What about Angel Guts: Red Classroom?
Spontamar I didn't like it too much, maybe a 5/10
Ah, I can see that. I find it to be a rather polarizing album by them since it has something to offer for both pop and noise enthusiasts.
A 6.5/10 for me.
Would you recommend this even if I haven't seen the show?
God I love Xiu Xiu, since Knife Play. Great to see it here.
Thank you for your time
You neglected to mention the *ahem* recent Twin Peaks events in your intro
Would you please review the Impossible Kid by Aesop Rock?
Or their "All Fours" record? Sausagany pizzatano.... Youll love bosse de nage. Theyre experimental black metal and theyve gotta get reviewed effective immediately.
Screw the drake review I want a review of Aesop Rock that album was fireeeee
