Just goes to show that a college education can't help EVERYONE refrain from saying "like" "um" "yknow" "cocaine" every third word.

I love a documentary that's not afraid to make its subjects look like a bunch of assholes.

Only Glenn Branca escapes with his credibility intact.

[EatinWatermelon]

everyone act like new york is the only place on earth someone can make some creative stuff.

[SonicDeath94]

¡I wanna see that movie!.

[sc0ner]

@pinholedstars I forgot to add that you're a moron. Did you even see this film? The answer: no.

[Thenewobjective]

@EatinWatermelon of course that's not true, but ny does have a special energy, and is the center of the cultural universe.

[sc0ner]

@pinholedstars Whatever. You obviously weren't there for any of the music, and you're one of those armchair dicks who comes along after the fact and "comments." Give me a break. Oooonly Glenn Braaaaancaaaah escapays with his credibabilabity intact. *looks down long nose* I love Glenn's music, but people who praise Glenn and dis no wave are basically prigs, which I'm almost certain you are. And you'd probably go to a Swans show and complain that "there's only an A section."

[StraightPunkEdge93]

I watched this documentary a few years ago on the Sundance.Definitely one of the most original documentaries I've ever watched about a music scene.

[kpenney7492]

hey lydia lunch - who stole your lunch money?

[9ine6ix]

Services (who used to be called Flux Information Sciences). "Element of Danger".

you can find it on youtube.

[ytbtgt]

whats this song?

[fftmf]

I have giged with the Yeah Yeah Yeahs and I say NO NO NO, Fuck Karen O she's a cunt

[Roboloved]

i don't think so. You can't say that good music is .. Hannah Montana or Demi Lovato, I mean, this "hollywood projects commercial music to SELL ww isn't good music". But u can say that doors, eric clapton, deep purple, beatles or jimmy hendrix are good music.
