Listen to the first 20 seconds of Powerline Misfortune, the closing track of Old Tunes Vol. 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hS89l_1bM4

Now listen to the beginning of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khMlcTE7lw8

It's almost exactly the same melody, arranged slightly differently in another key. I can't believe this has never been noticed before. Forgive me if it has, but I searched Google and this forum and found no mention of this track in relation to the show.

Could the track title, 'Powerline Misfortune,' be a Twin Peaks reference?

I was expecting a bit more interest in this. Maybe it's not as exciting of a discovery as I thought.

Sounds quite close yeah, wouldn't be surprised of the brothers had some inspiration from that. It is a good observation

So we can determine the date of Powerline Misfortune So after 1990 !

It's pretty similar, could definitely be an inspiration. Not quite the same chord progression, but still too similar to rule it out!

btw Twin Peaks has a lot of references about powerlines and electricity:

Seems legit
