Welcome back to Diane.

Tonight Rosie, Adam and Bob discuss Part 6 of Twin Peaks The Return. We’ve already eaten one-third of this – excuse me – damn fine pie, and our stage is beginning to fill up. Death, the Devil and Dick Horne are our unwanted companions at this crossroads.

Join the crew as we chat about the vagaries of Vegas, a whole new kind of bob, and the insistent buzz of pain and suffering/sorrow*

(*Delete as applicable.)

We always wanted to be a blonde, ladies and gentlemen.

Theme from Diane is by Mass Roman of Strangers from Birth.

For the duration of Twin Peaks: The Return, recap episodes of Diane will appear on Libsyn around 24 hours after initial UK broadcast~.

Diane: The Return

May 24th, 2017

Welcome back to Diane.

Join Rosie, Adam and Mark for the first of our reaction shows, where we offer our initial thoughts on Twin Peaks: The Return – Episodes one and two/Parts 1 & 2.

In this episode we try to embitter our excitement with a dash of critical distance, name the worms crawling through the resurrected body of the show, and ask just what it all means for the show’s life-after-life. In doing so, this is Diane, we will of course explore the liminal contours and magickal connections infesting our all-new-all-old favourite show.

Laura kept her promise. It’s been 25 years in the waiting room, but now it feels like the White Lodge is everywhere.

Twin Peaks is back. !hajulellaH

Theme from Diane is by the wonderful Mass Roman of Strangers from Birth. Cheers Mass, you make us what we are.

For the duration of Twin Peaks: The Return, recap episodes of Diane will appear on Tuesday or Wednesday on Libsyn.

Diane is making extra content which you can find on Patreon.

Next week: What’s in the box? Not that box.

Welcome to Diane… #27

Join Rosie, Adam and Mark as they gather to discuss episode 25 of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, sometimes known as On the Wings of Love.

This week on Diane the team talks RRRRROMANCE as our characters seek the blissful union that only a bit of the old in and out can provide. Harry wakes in the arms of a Helmut Newton-style assassin! Gordon goes all Tex Avery over a certain small-town waitress! And Wind’n’Erl searches for his Queen of Hearts…

*

  When love with one another so
Interinanimates two souls,
  That abler soul, which thence doth flow,
Defects of loneliness controls.
  We then, who are this new soul, know
Of what we are compos’d and made,
  For th’ atomies of which we grow
Are souls, whom no change can invade.

Whether your a brand new Dianiac or long term Dianysian we would like to take this opportunity to thank you for listening to our regular rambles about the cult TV hit of 1990/2017! If you are into our nonsense then all the thanks and attention we need is a five star review on iTunes! Cheers love you!

Welcome to Diane… #26

Join Rosie, Adam and Bob as they pick at episode 24 of Mark Frost and David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, also known as Wounds and Scars.

Dashing Dale Cooper’s game of give and take with Wyndham URL becomes antipositional as the tokens move from hand to hand: Thomas Eckhardt leaves a final piece of his being at the mill. Donna accepts a trinket from a dead doctor. And Dick Tremayne serves up a smorgasbord of quite exquisite fashions.

‘Tis the season to be giving, so let’s talk about The Gift!

What is striking, curious, is that this knot, like that, that I described as Borromean, you should now know why, is a support for thinking…That allows thinking to be written differently.

Ye merry gentlemen and gentlewomen! We here at team Diane would like to wish you all a very happy Christmas and bestow upon you the finest boons of love (gold), peace (myrrh) and understanding (Frankenstein). If you feel you would like to get us something in return – no obligation obvs – then all we want for Christmas is a five star iTunes review! Cheers!

Welcome to Diane… #24

SHE’S BACK! This week Rosie, Adam and Bob struggle to the end of the series’ rough patch, discussing the twenty-second episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, sometimes called ‘Masters and Slaves’. The show we all love is here somewhere but it’s like a black film has grown over it.

This week on Diane then, we talk veils.

Windham Earle employs a surrogate, the mists at the Great Northern finally clear, and Evelyn mourns the passing of the wild ride. Work slowly and with care. Everything must be written in a steady, uncompromising hand.

*

In the Heaven World, we look at Reality minus two veils. If I have in my Heaven World a friend whom I love, I see him minus two veils, As I know my friend here below, he and I are both veiled. I loved him when on earth; but when later after death I enter the Heaven World, then I shall see him minus two veils, and he will reveal to me certain attributes of himself.

Hey hey it’s the begging bit: if you like what you hear, do us a super solid and give us five stars on iTunes! Cheers, love you!

To  make sure you never miss us, subscribe to Diane on iTunes (US or UK), or feed on us thru Twitter and Tumblr. We post new eps of Diane on Wednesdays up at Libsyn and of course you can always listen and chat here on Mindless Ones.

Next episode: What happened to Josie?

Welcome to Diane… #22

Our theme is blackout, as the lights go off and we struggle for consciousness. Major Briggs is unable to recall his time in the woods, Jean Renault prays that the nightmare will end, and Leo Johnson wakes.

Things are happening out there in the dark, ladies and gentlemen.  Let us be your light.

*

The now deceased emperor casually asked Zheng: What is the place of the ruler of mankind, should he unify heaven and earth, should he move the ghosts and spirits, like in the Xiangjing with many binding rules, how shall I govern?

We are having a blast doing Diane and we hope you’re enjoying our efforts, tardy as they may sometimes be… ;-)

If you have a few seconds to spare we would LOVE IT if you could like, rate, share review us etc depending on your preferences – we get good #numbers out of iTunes reviews so if you could write something nice or give us the old 5ive stars that would be wonderful – do this and we will be your best friend/boyfriend.

Moreover, we will happily marry you if you subscribe to Diane on iTunes (US or UK), or follow us on Twitter and Tumblr. Join the family by checking out brand new episodes of Diane on Libsyn and the website men in ancient time called Mindless Ones dot com.
Next episode: No lie – say ‘Hi’ to the bad guys!

Welcome to Diane… #17.

Rosie, Adam and Mark eat too many sweets and stay up waaaay past bedtime to watch the fifteenth installment of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, Drive With a Dead Girl.

Naughtiness is afoot, and the theme is mischief. Leland’s dancing on the furniture. Norma’s new dad is betting on the sly, and Catherine Martell toys with Ben’s freedom. She’s a caution, isn’t she?

*

…within the death of an unknown creature, its vanished identity abstracted in terms of the geometry of this vehicle. How much more mysterious would be our own deaths…

Next episode: Gotcha! or The One that got Away

Welcome to Diane… number 7.

Rosie, Mark and Adam get sehr oneiromantic on the fifth episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, Cooper’s Dreams.

Music’s always in the air and poor Dale’s had a bad night’s sleep. Shelley and Norma have amazing hair, and Audrey licks a job interview. Revelations abound as Bobby and Dr Jacoby share notes on Laura’s dark side, and the log recounts the night of her death.

Expect: dreams breaking into reality, secret selves, Icelandic myth, and Jerry’s winning tie pins.

*

The interpretation of dreams was intended as an expedient to facilitate the psychological analysis of the neuroses; but since then a profounder understanding of the neuroses has contributed towards the comprehension of the dream.

Welcome to Diane… number 5.

Pathos and bathos gather to swallow the worm-choked mud and put the FUN in funeral as Rosie, Mark and Bob discuss the poignant and peculiar third episode of David Lynch and Mark Frost’s Twin Peaks, Rest in Pain.

Expect: the fight against the dark, the fact of death, and a journey into the secret systems of the town. Oh, and the interment of Laura Palmer.

Rivers turn to wood, ice melting to flood
Earth lies in death bed, clouds cry water dead
Tearing life away, here’s the burning pay
