It's Noirsville, a visually oriented blog celebrating the vast and varied sources of inspiration, all of the resulting output, and all of the creative reflections back, of a particular style/tool of film making used in certain film/plot sequences or for a films entirety that conveyed claustrophobia, alienation, obsession, and events spiraling out of control, that came to fruition in the roughly the period of the last two and a half decades of B&W film.

Noirsville Tune of the Week
Guy Clark - an American folk and country singer-songwriter and luthier
Instant Coffee Blues
Now he washed all the road dirt from his face and from his neck
And sat down at her table, and she picked up his check
And she took him home for reasons that she did not understand
While him, he had the answers, but he did not show his hand
'Cause him, he knew the taste of this wine very well
It all goes down so easily but the next day is hell
Morning, "Man, was I drunk, " she whispered in the shower
While he lay there and smoked his way there through the final hour
And she felt wholly empty like she'd felt it every time
And he was feelin' just the same, 'cept he's tryin' to make it rhyme
Time was of the essence so they both did their best
To meet up in the kitchen feelin' fully dressed
She just had to go to work, and he just had to go
And she knew where, and he knew how to blow it off and so
They shot the breeze quite cavalier to the boilin' of the pot
And sang the Instant Coffee Blues and never fired a shot
And him, he hit the driveway with his feelings in a case
And her, she hit the stop light and touched up her face
So you tell them the difference between caring and not
And that it's all done with mirrors, lest they forgot
I said it's all done with mirrors, of which they have none
To blend the instant coffee blues into the morning sun
