I'm not particularly noted as a film buff and I am always at least a year or maybe even two years behind everybody else in catching up with films on dvd etc. So yesterday I sat down on my own, closed the blinds and watched 90 mins of the best British thriller I have seen since 'Get Carter'. The film I watched was Shane Meadows 2004 film 'Dead Man's Shoes'. Now as this is a music not a film blog it gave me the chance to post the opening track to the movie which I thought was stunning. I was watching the beginning of the film and I was also trying to identify the song and it's singer. I had to wait for the end credits but it did confirm my initial thoughts that it was Bill Callahan (better known as Smog).This track comes from his 2003 release 'Supper'. I most admit I do like Bill's work but find that there are a maximum of only one or two tracks per album that really ever standout for me and re-listening to 'Supper ' after watching the film I'm convinced that 'Vessel In Vain' is the best track by a mile and makes 'Dead Man's Shoes' that extra bit special.
