Cro-Mags The Final Quarrel: Live at CBGB 2001 MVD Visual Street: 08.28 I’m not going to pretend to say I know a lot about NYC hardcore, my expertise pretty much runs into the realm of Agnostic Front. I can however say that I own a couple Cro-Mags records and was excited to check out this

Blessed by Fire Tristán Bauer Koch Lorber Films Street: 07.17 Based on the war surrounding the ownership of the Malvinas Islands, Tristán Bauer delivers an amazing film and a truly moving and entertaining war movie experience.

A Few Days In September Santiago Amigorena Koch Lorber Street: 09.06 This movie is French! Or just kind of French. It stars many finer actors such as John Turturro, Juliette Binoche, and last but not least the fabulous and tantalizing Nick Nolte (I heard that he once posed for playgirl). The movie is set 10

Wired For Sound – A Guitar Odyssey Mpi Home Video Street: 06.26 Wired For Sound documents the role of the Gibson guitar throughout the evolution of rock music. Through interviews and a dash of live music, we see how, from the very beginning of its blossoming from the blues, rock has been intrinsically bound to

Your Mommy Kills Animals Curt Johnson Street: 2007 Don’t be fooled by the title; this is not another “shockumentary” exploiting animals even further by showing horrible abuse footage. It is not an ad for vegetarianism, PETA or anything of the sort. Your Mommy Kills Animals actually exposes companies like PETA and other “animal loving” corporations

Moogfest 2006 Live MVD Visual Street: 07.17 Moogfest 2006 Live serves as a sequel of sorts to the 2004 feature, Moog, sort of a now-watch-these-instruments-in-action presentation. However, whereas the former release focuses on artists who have or currently use various Moog synthesizers to push music forward (Meat Beat Manifesto, Charlie Clouser, Luke Vibert), this feature stars

A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash Basil Gelpke, Ray Mccormack Docurama Street: 05.24.06 “Oil is the devil’s excrement,” is the rather off-the-cuff remark kicking off this documentary about the world’s oil crisis, a phenomenon which the film says will reduce modern civilization to a nearly stone-age level in the next few decades. Mostly made up

Twigger’s Holiday Slow January Records Street: 08.07   I picked up this gem of a DVD just because the dude who made it had some sort of affiliation with Sarah Silverman (he did something with her show). I knew to expect something hilariously bizarre but not what I actually received from this DVD. The DVD
