  • Listen to Eerie ‘Stranger Things,’ ‘Twin Peaks’ Mash-up

    When your favorite TV series is between seasons, you sometimes have to get creative with how to pass the time.

    For the Seattle-based group Prom Queen, that apparently meant mashing up the “Stranger Things” theme song with that of one of its predecessors, ’90s cult drama “Twin Peaks.” The group took the two pieces and combined them to create a creep-tastic new track called “Stranger Peaks.” The result is just like the two mysterious series: a little spooky but easy to get hooked on.

    It’s fitting that Prom Queen used the “Twin Peaks” theme for the mash-up. “Stranger Things” pays homage to its predecessors, with Netflix billing it as a “love letter to the supernatural classics of the ’80s.” Even though “Twin Peaks” came around a little later, it is part of the new series’ history as well; co-creators the Duffer Brothers have specifically noted that they were influenced by “Twin Peaks” co-creator David Lynch, as EW points out.

    Listen to “Stranger Peaks” below.
    “Stranger Things” has been renewed for Season 2 and will return in 2017. Meanwhile, Showtime is bringing “Twin Peaks” back, and the follow-up will premiere next year as well.

  • David Bowie Dies at 69 After 18-Month Cancer Battle, Stars Pay Tribute

    Tributes Are Made After The Death Of Music Icon David BowieIt’s hard to believe, but we’re now living in a world without David Bowie. The music legend died January 10, just two days after both turning 69 and releasing his final album, “Blackstar.”

    After initial hopes that it was just another death hoax, the sad news was slowly confirmed online, including this post on Facebook:

    Bowie’s son, film director Duncan Jones, further confirmed the sad news, although he didn’t elaborate on the star’s surprising battle with cancer:


    According to CNN, Duncan Jones’s mother, Bowie’s first wife, Angela, is sequestered on the U.K. series “Celebrity Big Brother.” Producers told her of Bowie’s death off-camera and she chose to stay on the show. Iman, Bowie’s wife of 24 years, has yet to release a statement of any kind, but she did tweet birthday wishes for Bowie and a January 10 note that may have been a reference to her late husband.

    Tributes have been pouring in on Monday, with many musicians honoring David Bowie (born David Jones) as a personal inspiration and hero:


    In addition to being a music icon, Bowie also had many acting credits to his name — from “Labyrinth” and “The Man Who Fell to Earth,” to playing Nikola Tesla in “The Prestige,” Andy Warhol in “Basquiat,” Pontius Pilate in “The Last Temptation of Christ,” and himself in “Zoolander” and “Extras,” among others.

    Here’s to a true legend.
