would love to see the akron doc.

Much of it (all of it?) is included as a quicktime extra on the Wizzard In Vinyl 'Akron Years' CD...

It's Everything and Then It's Gone

DVD available via Akron PBS station.

It's very well done, but the band and Smog Veil got ripped off on the DVD...

Sorry to learn of this.

All we wanted was some credit for supplying the images, and the band wanted to get a cut of the DVD sales.  Neither happened.  I didn't even get a copy, and still don't have one.

But, it's well done..

Personally, I thought American Hardcore kinda sucked.

if you thought that sucked, wait'll you get a load of LOST ROCKERS

The Flying Nun doc. was up on youtube- pretty basic brass tacks but some good insights on the whole scene...

It's Everything... is viewable here:

I've had it bookmarked for months but haven't checked it out yet...

End of the Century is pretty great. I really enjoyed that one, especially seeing it in San Francisco at an actual theater with a bunch of Ramones fans. We Jam Econo was great also.

I recently bought on old Betamax machine so I could burn my dubbed copy of Decline pt. 1 to DVD.

If anyone has some old bootleg footage on Beta, I could help transfer that to DVD.

It's pretty amazing that "Thurston came off like a douchey Beck wanna be..." 2 years before anyone heard of Beck. What happened to that crazy, mumbling, "weirdo", street musician Beck of 1994 anyway? You just don't see that guy anymore!

He became a scientologist.

i'm sure you guys know, but the people who put that together have a much longer us maple project in progress.... hopefully it will be released one of these days. what a goddamn band!!

[roadkill33]

the Wesley Willis one was great and the recent BBC three part doc on American Folk was pretty interesting. They've just started another about British Meal/NWOBHM

i really like the new one, i would imagine that is what you are talking about WW JOYRIDES.  there was also 'the daddy of rock and roll', which came out about six months before his death, and is kind of sad and sort of seems like it is using him as a subject for the directors to exploit.  joyrides however handled his story in a very beautiful way.  miss that guy....

watched HYPE last year, there are plenty of terrible bands in it, but there are also some good ones and i like the way it captures a place and time that really can't ever exist again in the way it did due to things like the internet taking full control of everything.   


metallimania is more or less like a heavy metal parking lot kind of thing, and i have never seen the 'some kind of monster' movie that came years later, but the one i mentioned is actually really funny at parts... like the guy who invites the cameraman in to see his metallica collection which features something like 30 or 40 LPs and 12" singles of the band, and later when he is asked something about how one of the live versions sounds like or something (not quite, i forget), he mentions how he doesn't even have a turntable so he doesn't know.... GOLD.
