The new series of Twin Peaks is so much better than I could have even hoped. Eighteen episodes is not really enough, but gives Lynch just enough time to include some diversions, such as the wonderful scene with Wally Brando. Spin off, please.

INBETWEENERS
More just before and right after frames from Hanna Barbera, this time from The New Scooby Doo Movies (1972), a pretty average show in which Mystery Inc. team up with such luminaries as The Three Stooges, Laurel & Hardy, Sonny and Cher, Batman and Robin, the Addams Family, the Harlem Globetrotters, Davy Jones from The Monkees and Mama Cass. Yep, really.
Why is everything so purple? Well, because Scooby Doo adventures mainly take place at night, that's when the fake ghosts come out.

SONIC WAR IS EVERYWHERE
Moor Mother creates a fiery blend of Afrofuturism, beat poetry and protest politics set to jittery, complex electronic soundscapes. The effect is challenging, unnerving, constantly moving. It points its finger in your face and demands your full attention. I'm listening.

OPTICAL ART
As a child, all Kenyan artist Cyrus Kabiru wanted was a pair of glasses, but his strict Dad forbade him from wearing them. Now he rootles through the rubbish tips of Nairobi, looking for chunks of metal and strips of wire he can use to sculpt unique spectacles that wouldn't look out of place on the incredible Sun Ra, the thinking and feeling person's Elton John.
I've been wearing glasses since I was nine, as of today, a mere forty years. I've clearly been doing it wrong.

SCI FI OF OLD TIMES
A RÉGI IDÖK SCI-FIJE is a 1982 Hungarian television tribute to the golden age of Science Fiction, soundtracked by music from the Human League and Kraftwerk amongst others. It gets quite trippy, but that's outer space for you.
