Soundtrack for a bad day
2009-06-04 by Hal BerstramAngelo Badalementi – I’m Hurt Bad
The first in (hopefully) a series of soundtrack-related postings from me over the next two weeks. This is taken from the second CD of music from the TV series Twin Peaks which was released in the US in 2007 but – like the Series 2 DVD box set – has yet to come out here. (The first Peaks CD came out in the early 1990s, closely followed by the soundtrack CD for the prequel film Fire Walk With Me.)
Although this new CD bills itself as ‘all new Season 2 music and more’, a lot of the best tracks are actually from Season 1 rather than Season 2, and “I’m Hurt Bad” is one of these – in fact it’s from the pilot episode.
For those of you that know the series, it’s the tune that Bobby Briggs puts on the jukebox in the RR diner when he leaves with Shelley Johnson. Or at least the first minute or so of the track is… it then devolves into strange ambient territory. Not a long track, but the piece was one of my favourite bits of music in the series, so it’s good to see it released at last.

- who played Bobby in Twin Peaks, and seems to have done not enough since. Mind you, neither would you if you were a guy who shared a first name with a female Eurovision winner.

Nice. Cheers, H. I've recently picked up a couple of soundtracks that I ought to come out of retirement to share with you. It's been a while.
