End of the Century – The Story of the Ramones – Review

June 13, 2005

Unless you’re a Ramones know-it-all, you’ll leave knowing more about the band. Even if you already know all this, End of the Century will still entertain you.

Edgeplay – A Film about The Runaways – Review

June 13, 2005

A great movie. Being in their mid-teens, female, and not known to each other before the band’s creation was tough enough. Add ass-nut Kim Fowley to the mix.

Doomed Nation – Episode 1 – Review

June 13, 2005

Part live footage, part lifted news/movie/TV, part psychedelic effects, this is the way to absorb prime doom/stoner/dirt metal grumble.

June 13, 2005

BJTM embody the down and dirty rock and roll lifestyle, living in a filthy hovel of a band house, while the Dandy Warhols tour Europe and play huge festivals.

Dead Leaves – Review

June 13, 2005

Exploding pipes of sh!t, accidental buggery, people who transform into living arsenals, and Chinko, who has a gigantic drill for a cock. What the f*ck, dude??

Dead Boys – Live at CBGB’s 1977 – Review

June 13, 2005

Prime era kickass punk rock from Cleveland’s Iggy-fixated rocker casualties. Filmed when people in NY thought that this roaring splatter was gonna be big.

Bird People of China – Review

June 13, 2005

Most directors can’t manage ten good films in their lifespan. Takashi Miike did that last year. The shock is that it’s great in a way you didn’t expect.

Anti-Flag – Death of a Nation – Review

June 13, 2005

Nineteen-year-old Mohawk boy scissor-kicks America out of Iraq in this detailed demonstration of radical youth gone mic-happy in many cities.

Drop the Fear – Review

June 13, 2005

The songs seduce, urge, and prod until you can’t help but let go of your fears and find yourself lost in the electro/shoegazer/trip-hop.

Doves – Some Cities – Review

June 13, 2005

Although Some Cities isn’t quite as euphorically all-conquering as their debut, Lost Souls, it’s still a slice of heaven sent from Manchester.
