Things to Read

Posted Thu December 13, 2012

Here’s some misc links because this is the easiest / quickest way for me to add content – albeit far from the prettiest.

  • William Tyler – “Cadillac Desert” – Pitchfork reviews the first track off the forthcoming Merge debut, Impossible Truth. The track is great.
  • Nashville bands at SXSW – the first wave of bands has been announced and it includes Brendan Benson, Turbo Fruits, Wild Cub, The Vespers and several more that I’ve never heard of. Congrats to them all!
  • Wannado Nashville / do615 – while they aren’t exactly the same thing (one is an iphone app, one is a web destination), both these guys are competing for your eyeballs to let you know what’s going on around town. I actually like that more and more of these kinds of services are popping up. Probably worth trying out.

noir test – The Thief on Two Wheels

Posted Tue December 11, 2012

Noir Test has done plenty of ambient, instrumental work. This time he’s applied it to the student film The Thief on Two Wheels. It’s a low-key affair for the most part except when the bass line and guitar kicks in near the end. I can only imagine the action on screen associated with this bit. Also be sure to listen to the “poker motif” bonus track.
