The Neighbourhood - Afraid
Haven't turned this record in a while as I've been doing a lot of various metal to fit with the shorter days. The Neighbourhood's I Love You is still probably going to come in as my album of the year. And cool thing with this video? It's a different version of the song than is on the record!
Take that warning at the beginning of the video seriously, but it didn't seem to bother me and if you're a regular here you know about what that infamous David Lynch/NIN video did to me earlier in the year.
Woody Harrelson & Christian Bale in Out of the Furnace (via Latino Review)
Latino Review is BY FAR the best movie news site around and it is to their page I gleefully redirect you now to learn more about this film, Out of the Furnace, which appears will be a high-level Oscar contender this year. I love a lot of different kinds of movies, but truth be told Oscar season, which we are now in the earliest weeks of, is my favorite. November and December - when a year is good and not suffering from Hollywood carrying tentpole seasons on for prolonged profit as they did in what I think was 2010 (or was it 2011? One year recently all we had was tentpoles up through years end if I remember correctly, with hardly an h'oeuvres tray worth of serious cinema) these are the months where my local cinema truly becomes a cathedral for me. Anyway, thus far we have12 Years a Slave, Captain Phillips, Gravity and All is Lost and then here comes news of this, a serious film with performances by two actors I really like but do not always appear in A level work. Just from this clip we see both Woody Harrelson and Christian Bale have a sort of gravity to their performance that registers as "this movie means business" - or at least it appears to by the clip. I'm intrigued and this may be the first film of 2013's Oscar season that I am really looking forward too.

The Forest Children/Darkness Brings the Cold Bandcamp
Yep, shameless self promotion. I recently tired of paying digital distributer tunecore and took all our old stuff that was up on itunes, putting it on bandcamp. This right here - I've always been extremely proud of this. Recorded it with very limited equipment and an even more limited budget. Turned out pretty good I think (I still can't believe how I got the hi hats to sound in track 3).
Eyedress - Nature Trips
I know NOTHING about Eyedress. However, go to where I first heard this, my favorite music blog Heaven is an Incubator and you can read all about it.
Beyond the Black Rainbow
I watched this last year sometime - if you've not seen the whole thing it's worth watching at least once. However I'm fairly certain that the trailer is better than the movie and serves as an easy way to scratch the particular visual/aural itch the film will lay eggs for in the back of your mind.
Can't wait to see what the director does next.
