Here’s Jackson Browne doing “Desperados Under the Eaves” at the Wild Honey Foundation’s Warren Zevon tribute show on Friday (h/t to Chris Morris, the show’s fantastic emcee). So much goodness that night!

Here’s a crazy shootout I happened upon the other night. It’s from San Antonio (1945), starring Errol Flynn. I’m guessing this is the highlight of the movie.

He Walked by Night is a great, LAPD procedural (a template for the TV series Dragnet — Jack Webb even has a role). A creepy villain, fantastic John Alton cinematography, and a script free of hokey psychoanalysis of the bad guy’s motivation.

Back in 2007, I created a playlist, one song for each story in my first book, Dead Boys. It just popped up in my feed, so I thought I’d repost it. Also, in the comments is a link to a Spotify playlist I made of the songs mentioned in the piece.

Watched They Live by Night (1948) for the first time recently. Great film. Everything you want in a crime pic plus an unexpected dollop of hard-boiled romance. Great acting throughout, but Cathy O'Donnell as Keechie is particularly affecting.
