If you haven't already heard it, you should listen to the song Black Lodge by Anthrax. It was orchestrated by Angelo Badalamenti.

 It's a brilliant song and someone put together a video using TP clips for the extended version, check it out on youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c3dlUlOEpqQ

I love it!

 The lyrics-

 Worship the ground you barely walk on

"Harry, I'm going to let you in on a little secret. Every day, once a day, give yourself a present. Don't plan it, don't wait for it, just let it happen. Could be a new shirt at the men's store, a catnap in your office chair, or two cups of good, hot, black coffee. Like this."  -Dale Cooper

Kanickie - You might be interested in the Twin Peaks interview we did with Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante here:

Good song, and I really like the lyrics. It's not a cheesy "There was this girl called Laura Palmer, and her daddy wanted to do her"-kind of summary that you could expect when a metal band does a theme like this, it's a separate look into the concept that is the Black Lodge. Great stuff.

Pfft. That doesn't even make sense.

Great that this was brought up. I had just recently gone back through my CD collection and found this track and well, I thought it was just great.

P.S. Thank you Jerry Horne for the link. Appreciated.

Thanks for the link. Enjoyed. Somehow though, the music didn't keep pace with the darkness of the images chosen.

I'd really like to see one of the serious Lynch pundits here choose the images to match the song.

The other black lodge vid was interesting.

Beauty is momentary in the mind -
The fitful tracing of a portal;
But in the flesh it is immortal.
The body dies; the body's beauty lives.
So evenings die, in their green going,
A wave, interminably flowing.
So gardens die, their meek breath scenting
the cowl of winter, done repenting.
So maidens die, to the auroral
Celebration of a maiden's choral.
Susanna's music touched the bawdy strings
Of those white elders; but, escaping,
Left only Death's ironic scraping.
Now in its immortality, it plays
On the clear viol of her memory,
And makes a constant sacrement of praise.

('Peter Quince at the Clavier' by Wallace Stevens)

This is AMAZING song. It was about one year ago when i first listened this, because it's about Twin Peaks. It was the first time i ever listened Anthrax too, but i fell in love right from the first second of this masterpiece. It has amazing lyrics, but the most important thing to me, is the sounds that it has, i knew that Angelo worked with this song, i could feel it.

So every time i listen to this song, i have those same feelings about Twin Peaks etc, its so amazing!

This could be on the Twin Peaks soundtrack if you ask me, and btw, i have been thinking of making couple TP videos including songs like these. But i will do it after i have watched all TP episodes again, but this is one of my projects which have been on my mind for a long time.

It's also interesting to know that Charlie and Scott are fans of the show, (btw, thanks for this interview!).

I remember this album. Good offering, I like what they tried to do and the direction they were taking, maybe not their best, but definitly far from being "a crapper"

Wrong, "The Sound of White Noise"  is still considered one of their best works. It was the first outting with John Bush on vocals. Many Anthrax fans rate "Among the Living" as their greatest work. The sophomore effort with Bush "Stomp 442" put them in crapper musically.

I got a chance to ask Scott Ian if David Lynch got to here the song "Black Lodge"? Scott said David greatly enjoyed.

When I saw Anthrax perform in 1991, Scott was wearing a Twin Peaks T-shirt on stage. Scott is the man!!!

When they perfomed Black Lodge live, They use the Windham Earl sound bite when he says, "Its a map to the Black Lodge. 

Yes, I've been a huge Anthrax fan since 1985. The band are huge David Lynch fans. I've invited Scott to the fest a couple of times.

Umm..., I'm a music journalist, and I can tell you there's no such thing as a "wrong" answer or reply when it comes to music as what is good or bad  is opinion and personal taste. In my opinion, "Spreading The Disease" was when they were at the top of their game. "Among The Living" is almost as good, IMO, but due this albums' commercial success they started watering down their sound on all albums after "ATL".

You hit the nail right on the head. Later on, Anthrax followed music trends and as a journalist or even as just a fan, I'm not going to still listen to it if I don't like it just because the cover has the Anthrax logo on it.  Their later sound has NOTHING to do with the sound they had early on that turned me on to them in the first place. If you're reading a review from a 'zine, you're reading somone's personal taste. If there were no opinions or talk of personaly tastes in a review, that "review" would read more like a Wikipedia entry, or somewhat like a biography/documentary. Hey, maybe if Anthrax follows trens and releases a hip hop or country album next year, I should buy it and love it because, hey... it's Anthrax! Nah.

you missed the nail by a longshot. and my entire point while you were at it.
another milestone in the field of journalism.

sorry if this is already posted, im new to this wonderful board.
