536 Nothing is Happening



The first 100 or so mixes I posted here all had a few tracks omitted, mostly due to length concerns as I try to keep everything around 75 minutes (call me nostalgic, I got stuck in this mindset when I was burning everything on CD-R's back in the day).  Fortunately, I dumped all those extra tracks into a folder and am just now revisiting them.

Songs that reference or sample Twin Peaks.  There are a lot, and I picked the ones most appealing to me.   Yes I know I picked the less obvious track from Stars of the Lid.  Ending the mix with the long and difficult homage by V/VM. Sit back, and enjoy some damn fine coffee and cherry pie that'll kill ya.
