Chill out with Julee Cruise's "Rockin' Back Inside My Heart"

Musician and songwriter Julie Cruise, whose birthday is today, is best known to genre film fans for "Falling," the theme to "Twin Peaks," but it's not her only collarboration with David Lynch.  She was also the singer of BLUE VELVET's "Mysteries of Love" and collaborated with Lynch on her album "Floating into the Night" and contributed to INDUSTRIAL SYMPHONY NO. 1, a stage performance committed to video in 1990.  Here's her track from that, and it's about as dreamy and etherial as it gets.

Evening Entertainment: The pilot for David Lynch's "On the Air"

ABC was hoping for the next "Twin Peaks" when they got Lynch and Mark Frost to create a new TV series for them -- what they got was "On the Air," one of the strangest sitcoms ever aired on network TV.  The story of a young, dense actress (Marla Rubinoff) who becomes the star of a new TV series featuring a cocky has-been (Ian Buchanan) features a mesh of absurdist slapstick humor that nothing has ever been close to replicating.  Only three episodes of the seven produced were aired before the series vanished (and it's never been released on DVD), though  it has developed a deserved cult rep over the years.  With Miguel Ferrer, Marvin Kaplan, David L. Lander, Tracey Walter (who isn't blind, he suffers from "Bozeman's Simplex") and Kim McGuire, CRY-BABY's Hatchet Face.
