REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE

This week, we talked to musician Andrew Rieger (Elf Power, Elephant 6 Recording Co.) about the Ringo Starr directed film ‘Marc Bolan: Born To Boogie.’ We discussed our long-time obsession with all things Bolan, if Ringo is a good movie director, the missing charisma of certain guitar players, and the visual & filmic sensibilities of the artists that make up the new doc, ‘The Elephant 6 Recordi...

VERA DREW: This week, we talked about Pink Floyd: The Wall with actor/director/writer Vera Drew (The People’s Joker, Tim & Eric, Sasha Baron Cohen’s ‘Who Is America?’).  We discussed how both the album and the film ended up being one of her biggest inspirations in making her film, how Pink Floyd has influenced her life immensely (including her name change), the battle over the release of...

This week, we talked to musician Nick Aguilar, who chose the documentary film “We Jam Econo,” which focused on the legendary punk band The Minutemen. Since Nick has performed and toured with The Minutemen’s Mike Watt, he has excellent insight into the world of the LA punk rock scene, SST records, growing up in San Pedro, and, of course, being in the van with the legend that is Mike Watt. &nbs...

In celebration of the 40th anniversary & theatrical re-issue of TALKING HEADS' classic concert film, ‘Stop Making Sense’, we discussed the film with EVA WALKER (Sub-Pop recording artist The Black Tones, KEXP’s Early show). We talked about getting to see the original concert tour in person, how the smallest stage moves can create the biggest waves, why Taking Heads initially creeped Eva ou...
