DAMN FINE COFFEE! IN A CAN!

Remember when Special Agent Dale Cooper sold out and did coffee commercials in Japan?

Let me refresh yr memory.

"Lost (High Quality Georgia Coffee advertisement by David Lynch)" (Watch on YouTube)

"Cherry Pie (High Quality Georgia Coffee advertisement by David Lynch)" (Watch on YouTube)

"A Mystery of "G" (High Quality Georgia Coffee advertisement by David Lynch)" (Watch on YouTube)

"Twin Peaks - Japanese Georgia Coffee Commercial (Chapter 4. The Rescue)" (Watch on YouTube)

It’s a four-part mystery explained and wrapped up in two minutes – half of which is spent extolling the virtues of Georgia Coffee.

Now THAT’S storytelling.

And anyway, it makes about as much sense as Twin Peaks ever did.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I was a huge fan of Twin Peaks when it aired. But it did kind of lose the plot a third of the way through Season 2. And the less said about Fire Walk With Me the better.

Still, I regard Agent Cooper as one of the greatest TV characters ever created.

FUN FACT: Georgia Coffee wasn’t happy with the results of this campaign. Consequently, plans for a second series of commercials were scrapped.

It’s true,

LISTEN TO IT #86: DO THE GARGON

Leave it to Johnny Dowd to do a concept album about a dance monster who wears Nancy Sinatra boots and hits on ladies in discos. 

Which he has. It’s called Do The Gargon (Gargon being the monster in question), and musically it’s funky experimental trash rock (or something along those lines) that serves as the perfect bedrock for Dowd’s laconic drawl.

Dowd’s probably an acquired taste, but it’s one I acquired awhile back. And I’m digging this.

Listen.
