Forgotten Indie Films

Back in 2007 i watched a danish movie called Dark Horse, about a week later i had sadly forgotten it existed. Luckily my keen memory collaborated with my tingling indie sense and i found myself in front of the DVD, i decided to buy it and headed off to watch it with an eclectic group of friends. generally it was liked and it was actually as good as i remembered which was nice.

here's the trailer:


Positives:
it's unique for it's story and style, but it also has something that i find makes me love this for more than just the arty black and white shots. It can make you laugh when you least suspect it. I love when movies are clever enough to throw in a punch line before your even realize your being told a joke, it's a gift!

Negatives:
Perhaps for some, it's a little too arty. It may not feel like it's trying to be arty but it's obvious in a throughout the movie that a lot of work has gone into each shot. it's also very character driven, which is the nice way of saying that not a lot happens.

if i was where to score it i would give it 70%

Agitated Radio Pilot

One of the good things about working in a record shop is that there's lots of opportunities for finding good obscure bands. I came across these by accident really. Only for the name and the artwork I would have just ignored them, instead I bought it, listened to it and liked it.



Agitated Radio Pilot is the solo project of a man called David Colohan, who's been in many Irish folk bands apparently. The album, World Winding Down, is quite the mellow album, very relaxing. Plenty of melancholic guitar songs. The album itself if 2 CD's that have a symmetry in them, one brilliant piece of songwriting. It's well worth checking out.
