New music, new TV? New art?

Dear comrades,

I've some quality free art for you to check out......................and it is art because I've said it is. First the amazing and quite simple new video from Low for the first track off their new album C'Mon, it's called Try To Sleep. I've spammed about this album loads lately, but I'm still really into it so I'll be spamming some more, no doubt.

Secondly it's TV art (is that possible? yes but it's a rare phenomena nowadays). I'm thoroughly into the new BBC 2 drama The Shadow Line, there's not been a well made British drama (or any other genre program for that matter) that's captured my attention for a long time. Probably not since the Red Riding adaptations were screened on Channel 4 a few years back. This Is England was very good, but I sort of knew that would be and that was well advertised and not really anything glowingly new.  

The Shadow Line was just on my TV a few weeks ago when I was sat motionless on my sofa and couldn't find the remote. Somehow I got sucked in during the first scene which was tonally a very dark opening scene for a new show, with it's muted dialogue and really intriguing characters it's quickly become the only TV programme I'm currently making efforts to keep up with on UK TV. Based on the trailer I wouldn't have bothered watching it, as it's lumped in with a 'BBC Drama' trailer with other tripe BBC dramas such as the awful Luther (which really should be quite good, but has instead somehow turned Idris Elba into a terrible actor, perhaps he should have stayed on the other side of the Atlantic, let's hope Dominic West doesn't tread a similar path) and Torchwood (the sexually excitable older brother of the now pants Doctor Who).  

The Shadow Line beats these other 'flagship' dramas hands down in my opinion, it's dark, tense, intelligent, very well executed with a great ensemble cast of class UK actors and has an epic theme song (see below 'Pause' by the rather great Emily Barker and The Red Clay Halo). I can't wait for episode 4, on Thursday at 9pm on BBC 2. I'll save my raving about it for future weeks as every week it's getting more tense.

Kurt Vile.........isn't

Well I've spent most of the day re-editing a friends music video after deciding that the rough cut was balls. Editing film is an enjoyable, but frustrating, pastime. Especially as it involves drinking buckets full of coffee and spending hours in a dark room rendering off clips in between cutting the finished piece together. In between the lengthy rendering sessions I've been mostly monging out to this guy..............


Kurt isn't vile he's lovely to listen to, get his album it's super good and mighty relaxing AYEEEEEE like audio red wine.

Over and out.
