In 1987, Eddie and Mitch moved into a low-rent apartment in San Francisco where, through paper-thin walls, they were informally introduced to their middle-aged alcoholic neighbors, Raymond (a raging homophobe) and Peter (a flamboyant gay man). For 18 months, they hung a microphone from their kitchen window to chronicle the bizarre relationship between their borderline-insane neighbors, accidentally creating one of the world's first "viral" counter-culture sensations on the underground tape market. Revisiting these events through interviews and reenactments with the key players in the phenomenon's development, director Matthew Bate has concocted a darkly comic exploration into the blurred boundaries between art and exploitation.

  • @BlakesleeJ I used to live about 2 blocks away from Chez Shut Up Little Man. Greg Freeman, the owner of Low Down Recording Studios (and bassist for the great band Pell Mell) made me a compilation tape of SULM in '89. I was soon hooked and began to collect all things SULM. The film does bring up some interesting ethical points about "Art." There is nothing subliminal about SULM. Pareidolia is a different subject altogether.Subliminal messages have been proven to be fictitious in several studies.

  • That is crazy! Imagine accidentally stumbling across some sort of quote sensation. These guys didn’t even know what they were getting into and now what entertained them in the late 80s has turned into a viral tape. Once the media got a hold of the phrase, it is hard to believe how fast it spread. Programming the Nation? is a documentary that deals with the similar concept of art and exploitation. A great movie if you are interested in subliminal messaging and the media, bitly .com/oQ0ZVk.

  • Neat, I'm interested
