This week I’m joined by comedian/podcaster/director Scott Aukerman (Comedy Bang Bang, Between Two Ferns, R U Talkin' R.E.M. RE: ME? w/ Adam Scott) as we delve into the recent David Bowie documentary, Moonage Daydream.

We also discuss Scott’s parents searching his teenage room for dangerous music, Frankie Goes To Hollywood and Prince, Scott’s divisive (but beloved) U2 and R.E.M. podcasts with Adam Scott (Parks And Recreation; Severance), when we've felt like an artist has spat in our face, Dick Cavett, R.E.M.'s Dead Letter Office, The Dead Milkmen, meeting Bono, how we both first got obsessed with Bowie, getting scammed by compilations and bootlegs, the interview style of David Bowie, chaos in Scott's work, watching Bowie on endless escalators, The Sparks Brothers doc, the jaw-dropping performance of "Cracked Actor" in this film, seeing Bowie live, Nine Inch Nails, Bowie’s feelings on the Let’s Dance era of his life, The Glass Spider tour, Bowie's final album Blackstar, the occasional difficulties in continuing to follow an artist when they want to change artistically and more!

So let's watch in awe as David drinks milk in the back of a Rolls-Royce on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie

Welcome to an Encore Presentation of one of my favorite episodes ever of Revolutions Per Movie, where I got to discuss the documentary Desolation Center with the creators of these legendary events (who else would put the Minutemen on a barge or Einsturzende Neubauten in the desert). Plus, I love it whenever I get to surprise my guests with more guests to create the whole picture from the inside out. Enjoy!

(Episode 33 originally aired on April 25th, 2024).

The original show notes:

This week, we talk to Stuart Swezey & Bruce Licher, who produced and worked on the Desolation Center series of shows that took bands like minutemen, Swans, Redd Kross, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Einsturzende Neubauten and put them in locations such as the Mojave Desert as a reaction to the omnipresent police violence against punk rock kids.  We talked about the Desolation Center documentary that Swezey directed, the iconic visuals that Licher created for the events, having the legendary artist Chris Burden as your teacher, the healing power of Throbbing Gristle, how to source school buses to take punk rockers to the desert, fake ids, Savage Republic, Glenn Branca and the No New York LP, Redd Kross getting lost in the desert, violence coming from rednecks, the notion of selling out and not repeating oneself, the impact of D. Boon on the scene, Survival Research Laboratories, Lydia Lunch, being naive, Action News, the eventual change in the 80s music underground, psychedelics, early punk clubs like The Masque and Brave Dog, NEA grants for industrial noise music events, and we’re also joined by surprise guests, ML Compton and Skip King who are featured in the documentary and describe what it was like being a passenger into the unknown.

So party with me punker, as we head into the desert at night on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.

Welcome to an Encore Presentation of the first episode ever of Revolutions Per Movie...It had to start somewhere...and of course I had to begin with 'Dig' the Dandy Warhols/Brian Jonestown Massacre documentary! I was so happy that my first discussion already had a surprise guest to dismantle the film from the inside. Oh, the youth of us all...ha! (Episode 1 originally aired on Sept. 14th 2023).

The original show notes:

Hello and welcome to Revolutions Per Movie, a podcast about music documentaries, music-based fiction films, and the art of the music video.

I’m your host, Chris Slusarenko— a musician who has been in bands such as Eyelids & Guided By Voices and was once the owner of an independent video store in Portland, Oregon, for over 22 years.

For our inaugural episode, we talk with author/musician Ryan H. Walsh, who chose the Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols documentary film “Dig!” to discuss. We are also joined later by a surprise guest from the Brian Jonestown Massacre camp, Travis Snyder, who was the band’s tour manager for almost 20 years. We talk about how the film was initially commissioned to be a reality series by MTV, how bands in the 90s navigated the major label-feeding frenzy, the unhealthy lifestyle of band life, and how this documentary really did not tell the whole truth.

So listen in as we discuss the revolution that never happened on this episode, Revolutions Per Movie.

This week, my guest is author, musician, journalist DAVE BIDINI (member of Canada's longest running indie band--Rheostatics, Editor-In-Chief at West End Phoenix, author of 12 books including Around The World In 57 1/2 Gigs) who picked one of the most fought-over titles to discuss on Revolutions Per Movie, Ron Howard's TV Movie Of The Week, COTTON CANDY!!!

We also discuss entering competitions when you're a kid, how Rheostatics have changed over their 45-year history and how the geography of Canada shaped their music, Dave's parents talking to him about the evils of Punk Rock, Stompin' Tom Conners, how Canadian record labels want bands to strip the Canadian aspects from them, the film/book/lp Whale Music, signing to Sire Records and working with Seymour Stein, Dave watching Cotton Candy when it first aired on TV, Charles Martin Smith and Clint Howard’s amazingly honest nerdy turns in this film, Kiss Meets The Phantom, how TV started competing with films in the late 70s, the pacing of a made-for-TV movie, old teenagers in films, teenage rejection and self-sabotage, being "PUNK" on TV, having a band logo before you even have a band, the brand of Power Pop in this film, dancing in movie theater aisles, the uncomfortable strip poker scene, building bands’ mythology in your head, music that scared you as a kid, being hypnotized by commercials as a kid, Ron Howard's directing style, a great story about Frank Sinatra & The Cramps and more! 

So let's head to the mall to play in the battle of the bands on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!

This week I’m joined by IRA ROBBINS (Editor & Co-Founder of TROUSER PRESS magazine) as we end the year with the 1959 U.K. cult classic EXPRESSO BONGO!!!

We discuss how Ira's influential magazine was started on a whim, and how as outsiders they wanted a different approach to rock journalism, how they got a long-form interview with Jimmy Page, how the magazine made me feel smarter by reading it, the wild highs and lows of publishing Trouser Press, making mistakes in journalism, writing a letter to Pete Townshend and the reply that came back in the mail, how 70s rock journalism still held power in the culture of the time, the Devo/William Burroughs interview, how they got difficult interviewees to open up to their writers, how the magazine become an obligation rather than an opportunity over the years, the hardcore punk movement, how and why the magazine stopped publication, MTV's influence on music journalism, Laurence Harvey’s strange and powerful performance in Expresso Bongo, how young Cliff Richard was in this film, the incredible opening title sequence of the film, how the film pushes the cultural boundaries for young people in the late 50s, the British kitchen-sink drama movement, how the film was originally a West End musical and the differences between the two, how sleazy and risqué the film is for its time, The Shadows, how exploitative the British rock management world was, the threat of the 50s teenager, the alternate ending of the film and so much more.

So let's spin in circles while shattering our espresso cups on the ground on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!

Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault!

This was a special one...director Ryan Worsley had just finished the film at the time of this recording and was publicly screening it along with Negativland performing live afterwards. Not only was it the best Negativland performance I had ever seen, but it was also one of the most powerful (upsetting and darkly funny) shows I'd ever witnessed. A band that is notoriously difficult to pin down was explored beautifully with Stand By For Failure, so I was excited to get into the weeds (and we do!).

(EPISODE 55 originally aired Sept 26th 2024)

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:

This week, we are joined by documentary filmmaker RYAN WORLSEY to discuss her film STAND BY FOR FAILURE: A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT NEGATIVLAND. We discuss how Ryan was introduced to the world of Negativland and what she thought of it, how she decided the best way to tell their complicated but surpringly emotional story, the fair use doctrine and copyright law, are Negativland really a band, David Wills (aka The Weatherman) and his astonishing talents & laughter through it all, Negativland's origin story, how Negativland’s current live show We Can Really Feel LIke We’re Here might be their most powerful work to date, the band signing and then getting sued by SST Records, their long-running radio show Over The Edge, what Negativland did with band member Don Joyce’s ashes after his passing, can you still culture jam today, plunderphonics, how Negativland’s perceptions of the world are formed through their music and then mirrored back to us, Richard Lyons' and his alter egos, the U2 lawsuit against the band, the majesty of Casey Casem swearing, the resilience of the band through all their hardships, seeing the inside of The Residents’ recording studio in the film, the Christianity Is Stupid murder myth, how artist’s are still getting ripped off, what it’s like being the subject of a documentary, where Ryan & Negativland stand on AI, and the cultural desert that is the suburbs.

Is there any escape from noise? Find out on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!

This week, I’m joined by David Longsreth (of Dirty Projectors and musical collaborator with David Byrne, Bjork, Solange, and Rihanna) to talk about his life in music, and the experience of composing his first soundtrack for A24's The Legend of Ochi.

We discuss the head-bending Dirty Projector’s take on the Black Flag Damaged LP, punk rock mix tapes, touring with Xiu Xiu and going 'method' on that tour, David making his early records in basement bedrooms on 4-track cassette recorders, embarrassing imperfections in music, an early eureka moment while opening for Broken Social Scene, working solo vs. collaborating with others, the different modes of Neil Young, John Cale’s touch and attack, how they did the vocal gymnastics live with Bjork, Einstein On The Beach and Phillip Glass, slowing down songs to half speed, being fans of people you collaborate with, the soundtrack to Rumblefish, David's early work on Ochi and the film's 10-year gestation period, vocal hocketing, creating the creatures’ voices in the film, how it feels to hear your music played by an orchestra, my video store colliding with David creating his 1st record while sleeping in a hallway in Portland, and more...

So come find out if I put a bag over my head for asking naive questions on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
