A familiar face visits Twin Peaks
I've been binging Twin Peaks for the first time, and have been thoroughly enjoying it in all of its quirky, soapy, mysterious, 90's glory.
Created by David Lynch and Mark Snow, who went on to make The X-Files only a few years later (a favorite TV show of mine!)
So imagine my delight and surprise when I'm watching Twin Peaks and in walks an actor that would go on to appear on X-Files as one of the FBI's "spookiest" agents...

New Original Song: Mile-long Reminder
For best listening experience: Get drunk. Real drunk.
Put on your coat and stumble out of your house at dusk. Look up at the darkening sky, and start walking. Let your inebriated mind guide your thoughts (and your feet). Think about the past, even though you know you shouldn't. Walk until you don't recognize the houses, and then walk a little more. Realize it's getting late, and you should probably head back. Stumble inside and head to the kitchen. Pour yourself one more drink. Whiskey, most likely. Sip and remember, then sip until you forget...
At 20 minutes, it's a much longer track than I normally make, but I wanted to make something pensive and melancholic that you can get lost in. I think I achieved that effect just fine.

Halfway to Halloween
May 1st means we're over the hump! Better get cracking on those Halloween plans, it won't be long now...
Give a comment if you'd like to share some projects you've already started, I'd love to hear about them!
Here's some fun art by @joekeinberger_art. I'd like to imagine this fella as a Halloween hobo, just passin' through on his way to October Country.

“Signs of life in mummy exhibit in Mexico have experts worried”
"Mexico’s National Institute of Anthropology and History expressed concerns about this exhibition, according to a March 31 statement. The institute said it was not alerted about the display and did not authorize or advise on the transportation, handling or presentation conditions of the mummies.
"Experts saw photos of the display and spotted signs of possible fungal growths on one mummy, the institute said in its statement. The signs of life worried experts because of the possible biohazard concerns — yet lack of safeguards — and the danger of damage to the fragile mummies."
