Turned on to The Delines by @malcombowie.bsky.social. Their records are beautiful works of classical country-soul, the novelistic lyrics recounting noirish narratives of the luckless and drifting.

Robert Mitchum with one of my favourite lines directed at the noir fates. Also my preferred title for the film.

Decoy (1946) sits at the interface between noir and those Columbia Karloff vehicles in which he invariably raises himself or some other poor boob from the dead to wreak vengeance. It’s a Monogram film, and so is set in a world of cardboard and shot magnolia flat. #Noirvember

No, thank you. I’d rather keep them as friends.

It’s mysterious why Pearl Charles’s retro-country-soul hasn’t made her a huge star. She has the songs and is fantastic live.

Plausibly an unreleased 90s Bowie track.
Anthony Newley, born on this day in 1931. Here's his contribution to the hippy movement, a version of George Harrison's Within You, Without You. Far out man!

You can see the influence of the Murder, My Sweet dream sequence in Steve Ditko’s work.

Raymond Chandler and James M Cain. Flashback structure. A man waylaid by a femme fatale. Inescapable doom. Double Indemnity is Noir 101.

Orson Welles’ The Stranger (1946) shows us an America where a Nazi has insinuated himself into the higher levels of society, getting the Supreme Court onside, and eliminating those who challenge him.

Owen Tromans’ Between Stones is an album that’s haunted me for five years now. Its folk gothic touches on Pentangle, Nick Drake and Neil Young, but I think its closest kin is the Hunky Dory-era weird Bowie of Quicksand and The Bewlay Brothers.
