anyone see this flick?
It's a documentary on the american "hardcore" punk rock bands during the early 80's. It made me both proud and dissapointed in reflection on my current musical tastes and freinds. which I guess is a good thing? I liked it better than the book, which just seemed to be more like a VH1 behind the music special on each band and less so about the way that the bands influenced each other and criss-crossed the nation creating a new sweeping music direction and lifestyle - as was portrayed more in the film.
although, throughout the movie I couldn't help singing, "But I found myself hanging out having a conversation with Ian Mckay about sobriety, and it occured to me he doesn't have the slightest fucking idea about my disease."
