Members rasputin1963 Posted December 17, 2011 Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Hey guys, I just found out about this film, which one can watch online. TODD P GOES TO AUSTIN Blurb: "Featuring unforgettable live performances from High Places, Matt & Kim, Dan Deacon, Mika Miko, the Death Set and many more. As record labels die, independents thrive. In the wake of Napster, MySpace and Facebook there is a generation of artists creating and performing music on their own terms. With the help of legendary DIY rock promoter Todd Patrick, Brooklyn has become ground zero for these exciting young musicians. Using never before seen footage, including material shot by the bands themselves, TODD P GOES TO AUSTIN exposes what life is like surviving and touring at the underground level. Interviews with Todd about the necessity of independent music and creativity connect the bands as they tour down to Austin, TX to appear in the DIY music scene's answer to the SXSW Music Festival."

Members rasputin1963 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 Another film that I'm guessing will be of interest here is, FUZZ: THE SOUND THAT REVOLUTIONIZED THE WORLD Blurb: Fuzz: the sound that changed the world. The fuzz box: that tiny little box between the electric guitar and the amp that revolutionized rock music. What on earth does it do? Filmmaker Clif Taylor explores this insane industry of noise making, a world populated by guitar slinging super heroes and garage dwelling electronic geeks all sharing the collective obsession of one day creating that perfect sonic wave of limitless distortion. It's a unique subculture of psychedelic noise freaks and vintage distortion connoisseurs, a world of gear oriented Internet chat rooms and completely anarchistic electronic product conventions. From the geeky backyard boutique engineers building prized and instantly collectable clones of terribly scarce vintage psychedelic circuits to professional Wah Wah men, the electronic gurus, capable of pitching that monster tone into a circuit bent chaos, Clif Taylor shows us all of it, all the while, on the hunt for his own perfect tone. Guitar Gods Billy Gibbons, Peter Frampton, Jon Spencer, J Mascis, Chris Ross of Wolfmother and other music legends weigh in on their favorite circuits. Where would Jimi Hendrix be without fuzz? Would the sixties psychedelic movement even exist sans fuzz box? This film answers all those questions and more. It is a must see for anyone interested in the nuts, bolts, solder, transistors and true history of rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rasputin1963 Posted December 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted December 17, 2011 And what about THIS? SONIC OUTLAWS Blurb: Within days after the release of Negativland's clever parody of U2 and Casey Kasem, recording industry giant Island Records descended upon the band with a battery of lawyers intent on erasing the piece from the history of rock music. Craig Baldwin follows this and other intellectual property controversies across the contemporary arts scene. Playful and ironic, his cut-and-paste collage-essay surveys the prospects for an "electronic folk culture" in the midst of an increasingly commodified corporate media landscape.
