Angelo Badalamenti dead at 85
Could have posted in TV talk or Music talk... but this seemed appropriate.
RIP.
Truly one of the greatest composers of all time.

Twin Peaks is probably the greatest TV theme of all time.

It blows me away that the show could just recycle the same four or five pieces of music every single episode, and it always sounded perfect, and never tired. What he composed for that is so damn powerful.
I saw Christmas Vacation for the first time in years, and was surprised to see he did the music for that. It is not up to the standards of the music he did for Lynch. In fact, it often sounds like he was just doing a pastiche of the score from the first Vacation.

Well… that explains Lynch’s “no music” comment in today’s weather report.
RIP. The Twin Peaks score is just gorgeous.

RIP. At first glance I thought, didn't he pass already? I realized that was Julee Cruise. Their collaboration was stunning.

Hardly a month goes by without some collaborator from Twin Peaks : The Return dies. It's pretty mind-blowing and a reminder yet again, how fortunate we were that Lynch was able to get that filmed when he did.

The Twin Peaks theme is so hauntingly beautiful. It’s hypnotic when you listen to it.

My first real knowledge of his music was from the Lost Highway soundtrack. I got into Twin Peaks just within the last decade or so, and agree that the music there was great.
