TWIN PEAKS | 2.18 — “On the Wings of Love” (1991)

You’re seeing bob dylan on a concert. Everyone is having a great time. Bob dylan seem a little excited. “We have a surprise for you guys.” Bob says. All of a sudden Billy Joel come out and start singing “vienna.” When Billy gets to the chorus, someone else starts singing… “I get up in the evenin’ And I ain’t got nothin’ to say I come home in the mornin’ I go to bed feelin’ the same way.” Lights flash everywhere, and you see Bob singing “vienna” along with Billy, while Bruce is singing “Dancing in the dark”. Everyone in the crowd is going wild and crying. Then if things couldn’t get any better, Simon and Garfunkel walk onto stage and kiss, holding the gay flag.

This also happens with digital data due to the degradation of the physical storage medias! This book (best before by james newman) talks a lot about it in the context of videogames and the the implications it has for the ongoing efforts to archive them!

And questions of access extend beyond that. If I inherit a stack of pictures from my grandparents, then I may or may not know who’s in the pictures, but I have the pictures. If I inherit their cloud storage, then I hope I also inherited their password, and that it wasn’t changed between the time they wrote it down and when they died. Otherwise those photos are technically extant but lost, like frozen ghosts in the machine.

whenever i start thinking this pops up in the lower right-hand corner of my vision

i think i've accurately summarized my existence on this earth

which one are we feeling today fellas
