Movie: Sad Vacation: The Last Days Of Sid and Nancy
Sad Vacation: The Last Days Of Sid and Nancy is hardly a new story to explore, and may only prove interesting to those previously uninitiated. … read more
Review: The Dicks From Texas
The Dicks From Texas pays tribute in the best way possible to a band like these guys—it’s raw, unpolished, and choppy in some places, the lighting and audio isn’t perfect, the live footage is all bootlegged, and you definitely get the feeling that it went through a single editing process in someone’s basement. But, you know what? That’s punk rock! And that was the Dicks! … read more
Review: The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story
The Pink Floyd and Syd Barrett Story John Edginton MVD Visual Street: 09.18 This documentary takes a look into the life and short-lived fame of Pink Floyd’s front-man Syd Barrett before he slipped into a drug-induced dementia. I found it to be very interesting and full of things I had no idea about, like how
Review: An Evening of Yes
An Evening of Yes Anderson, Bruford, Wakeman, Howe MVDvisual Street: 08.28 Previous to getting this DVD I had no pretension of liking Yes. I have had several friends, who I respect but was skeptical about, who love Yes. Not knowing where to begin to re-access Yes, it was fortuitous that this came into the office.
Review: Cro-Mags
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
Review: Moogfest 2006 Live
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
Review: The Jesus Lizard
Live The Jesus Lizard MVD Visual Street: 06.05 There are shows that from start to finish are so incredible, they renew your jaded little heart about the impact and importance of live music. This live set feels like one of those moments. From the moment David Yow gets up on stage to the raw, cantankerous,
Review: Graffiti TV: The Best Of
Graffiti TV is straight from the mid-90s. Everything from the shaky cameras, poor film quality, flannel shirts and bad, bad haircuts were reminiscent of a home movie. … read more
Review: Crusin’ Hits of the 60’s
Crusin’ Hits of the 60’s MVD Visual Street 06.07 I guess I’ve always known that minor pop stars from the 60s were active well into the 1980s, but I don’t think that point really hit home until I saw video proof. Recorded live at the Rock n’ Roll Palace in Orlando, Florida, this multi-star concert
Review: Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven
Cracker & Camper Van Beethoven The First Annual Camp Out Live MVD Visual Street: 01.30 Concert films are usually a let down. Reunion tours are also generally a drag, especially when fans that spent their whole adolescence singing along with a band have to witness their older and uninspired heroes fuck up the chorus to
