"Element of Danger" performed by SERVICES.

[sciurisciura]

what is perceived as "good music" varies from person to person.

everyone should stop pretending like their opinion on a band is the one that stands.

[pinholedstars]

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.

[SkullzRamoan]

Karen O & that hair <3 Can't wait to watch this

[kenzoking]

Cool documentary. One of the only 2000's bands that come out looking good is Gogol Bordello. Those guys are fucking awesome. Sad they're not bigger

[IntoAbandon]

Ok so if anybody is still having trouble figuring out what a hipster is, look no further than the trendy Brooklynites interviewed in this film.

[José Raúl Cortés Renteria]

¡I wanna see that movie!.

[Thenewobjective]

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

[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.

[Katie Penney]

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.

[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.
