Auditory alchemist Blue Stahli sends us premonitions of an impending sonic assault bearing down on the unsuspecting public. Your skull will shake and your speakers will tremble as the next chapter of The Devil is revealed right before our eyes.
Watch as the madness unfold as we glimpse into an 8-bit Apocalypse strung about with unidentified assailants and creatures born from the dark corners of nightmares. The only advice we have been given is to Ready, Aim and Fire.
Blue Stahli's forthcoming sophomore album, The Devil, gathers more steam with Chapter 02, which builds on the bullrush sonics of Chapter 01. The first single Ready, Aim, Fire epitomizes the aggressive yet melodic nature of Blue Stahli's work, combing the combative temperment of guitar driven rock with the precision and clarity of electronic production. Blue Stahli produdly debuts his latest lyric video for Ready, Aim, Fire which serves as the narration to a retro fitted galatic battle.
Los Angeles / London based gothic rock band Die So Fluid have released the official music video for their track "Black Blizzard" directed by David Kenny. The track is from the band's upcoming album which will be released in the U.S. later this year. Watch for Die So Fluid on tour in the U.S. this fall. Die So Fluid are the modern incarnation of a ‘power trio’. Their sonic being possesses the muscle of metal, the angular cheekbones of post-punk, and the burning soul of vampiric desert torch song.
Black Blizzard was inspired by the Dust Bowl tragedy of the 1930s. It's referred to as a natural disaster but it was caused by man. Nature is wild and untamable, and my character in the video is the storm personified-bringing wrath after she has been abused and disrespected. - Grog (Die So Fluid)

Next week, 30th of July to be precise, Universal has the honour to say that Twin Peaks has been put out on Blu-ray in a completely restored version.
Here you can find all details.
In the meantime Variety reported that David Lynch organised a Twin Peaks-reunion at Silver Lake’s Vista Theater.
“Twin Peaks — The Entire Mystery” contains almost 90 minutes of outtakes and deleted scenes from 1992′s “Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me” that has been compiled into to nearly an entire new movie’s worth of material that answers a few questions left hanging in the feature film capper to the cult classic TV series.
Many of the cast members hadn’t seen each other in years, so there was much hugging and catching up.
These people were there: Log Lady Catherine Coulson, Ray Wise (Leland Palmer), Grace Zabriskie (Sarah Palmer) and Sheryl Lee (Laura Palmer), other cast attending included Miguel Ferrer (Albert), Peggy Lipton (Norma), Madchen Amick (Shelly Johnson), James Marshall (James Hurley), Victor Rivers (Buck), Kimmy Robertson (Lucy Moran) and Lenny von Dohlen (Harold Smith).
Because Peek-A-Boo loves Twin Peaks more than anything else, you probably will see some Lynchian things happening on our pages!
Francis Lai receives World Soundtrack Lifetime Achievement Award at FilmFest Ghent
Following the 41st Film Fest Gent’s focus on France, the Lifetime Achievement Award will be presented to French composer Francis Lai at the 14th World Soundtrack Awards.
Francis Lai (born in 1932 in Nice) became world famous with A man and a woman (1966) his first score for a film by Claude Lelouch, for whom he would compose over thirty scores the next four decades.
The Oscar winning film A man and a woman launched the career of Lelouch and made Lai a celebrated French film composer with an international career.

In this film, as well as in the follow-up Live for Life (1967), he introduced the authentic use of both English and French chansons sung by Pierre Barouh and Nicole Croisille, which became an innovative, refreshing and romantic sound in French film music.

He achieved his biggest cult success with the film Bilitis (1977) by softcore sex photographer David Hamilton. Other acclaimed films for which he wrote the music are Rider on the Rain by Rene Clement, Anima Persa by Dino Risi, My new Partner by Claude Zidi and Dark Eyes by Nikita Mikhalkov.
During the WSA concert, Francis Lai will receive the Lifetime Achievement Award for his outstanding career in film music. A selection of his work will be performed by the Brussels Philharmonic and conducted by Dirk Brossé.
In addition to the oeuvre of Lai, Jeff Neve’s captivating music for the prestigious Flemish drama series In Flanders Fields will also be getting some deserved attention that evening.

He will be performing a selection of the music he wrote, accompanied by footage from the series.
