#DarkWinds is one of the great overlooked shows right now. Finished S3 last night. It is so great to have series telling new stories from perspective of Native Americans. It allows Zahn McClaron to show that he is currently one of the greatest living actors.

Today’s viewing: #KissTomorrowGoodbye (Douglas, 1950) released by Warner Bros. in August the film marked James Cagney’s last appearance as a gangster/criminal in a role where he is nastier and more sadistic than in White Heat. Has some noir stylistics in a gritty thriller. #Noirvember

High Bias is a enjoyable read and one that should appeal to GenXers, those interested in music, and media industries and fan practices. A solid book from UNC Press that serves as an ode to the cassette tape and argues for its past and continuing importance. 2/2 #booksky

Finished #AThousandBlows Steven Knight’s riveting Victorian era drama about prize fighting, the immigrant experience in London and the seedy underbelly of the city with roving gangs, starvation and work houses. Not as good as PeakyBlinders but it shows promise.
