I hadn't thought of Swann Danger in quite some time, but I pulled out an old CD wallet the other day in the car, saw this and instantly threw it on. Huge, dark-wave, post-punk vibes and I love it. Saw these guys live at Chicago's Fireside Bowl, although I've no idea when. 2004 maybe? Either way, was a nice surprise to see they're on Apple Music. I only know this 2007 eponymous EP, but there's a full-length I'll be checking out this weekend, too.
Watch:
Last night K and I had our Thursday night movie date at the premiere of Corin Hardy's new film, Whistle. Here's the trailer:
I knew nothing about the plot for this one going in; hadn't even watched this trailer. I did know that Nick Frost, Dafne Keen and Sophie Nélisse starred, so that, plus my appreciation of Corin Hardy's 2015 film The Hallow and writer Owen Egerton's 2015 powerhouse Follow, I was already in and didn't need to spoil the surprise.
Here's what I'll say: It's competently made, and if you're not a total genre cunt like me, I think Whistle might be a pretty good popcorn Horror flick. I had A LOT of problems with this one, and if you're like me and lean a bit more into the "Talk to Me" side of modern Horror, this might not be for you. But if you're looking for something that's not too deep and a loud, bloody time, this might be for you.
