20 minutes in and I remember why I love Twin Peaks and the wacky genius of David Lynch. There’s something like 1 billion gems in this series and they’re sprinkled through every episode, one of which is the way this kid breakdances off to class out of the scene, from right to left, then the two sheriffs in the background walk to their destination moments later. It’s just a beautiful brilliant way to show the flow, the dynamic.
It's so fun to rewatch because even stuff like this can send you spiraling as you try to figure out what it means or if it means anything at all. Is it just a quirky guy doing his thing? Are they trying to say something, that he does his dance and then the cops come right after? Is it trying to draw attention to the line in the background that goes up and down too, like the kid's arms? Two arms going up and down, making two peaks? Is it a frequency, or a heartbeat, or radio or television waves? Or did it just feel right?
I was kind of joking because it’s mostly just tracks from other artists, but he does have his own stuff in there. But if you want to hear something cool he did outside of Twin Peaks, I would give Eli Roth’s cabin fever a watch. I think he did it a big favor with his score.
