  Directed by Bob Smeaton At times it’s more like an infomercial than an actual documentary.  A big part of the focus of this film is the lasting influence the Jam had on their fans, but that comes at the expense of seeing more things you might expect (and want) to see in a documentary about […]

Directed by Dave Grohl. What do Bad Religion, Barry Manilow, Cheap Trick, Johnny Cash, Nirvana, Josh Groban, Tears for Fears, Rancid, Ratt, the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santana, Foreigner, Nine Inch Nails and REO Springfield have in common? They all recorded albums at Sound City Studios. Those are just a few of the big names that rolled through the studio, an d the list is pretty long. Sound City, the movie is Dave Grohl’s documentary/slash tribute to the studio where Nevermind was recorded, a studio that he says changed his life.

Everyone Stares: The Police Inside Out (DVD) Directed by: Stewart Copeland Movie Released: 2006 Format: DVD I had high hopes for this one considering the eccentric Copeland pedigree and the fact that he taught me the only dance move a kid ever needed to know in the “Don’t Stand So Close To Me” video. But […]

“Nina Simone Si, Bernie Rhodes No!” “Joe Strummer” has always been my answer to the question “Who would you like to be stuck in an elevator with?” He represents the perfect mix of aggro, intellect, and sensitivity. And it is no doubt that over time his sensitivity has emerged as his strongest trait. He cared […]

A while back I stumbled across some videos from these two jokers Adam Colton and Adam Stokowski, also known as Adam2. When I say jokers I mean that in a good way. These two clowns (again, in a good way) have made some interesting videos that often time border on the severely goofy. Lett’s face […]

Hey, it’s fucking great! Here’s an attempt at a review. Do you want more? We Jam Econo: the story of the Minutemen is a great film. If you like the music you’ll probably enjoy this. Lots of performance footage. I never saw them live and was slow to pick up on their music but I […]

Saikou? What does it mean? I couldn’t tell you. I tripped over the name of their last DVD too. Not important anyway. There are four main parts to this DVD. The first is a Utah and Idaho tour dating back to 2005, the second is the late Fallen Wharehouse. The third is called Nuts and […]

Rollin’ Through The Decades is a documentary on UK skateboarding from the 70’s through present days. The 2000’s have been the decade of the skateboard documentary mostly due to the influence of Fruit of the Vine and of course the ubiquitous Dogtown and the Z-boys. Since then we’ve seen documentaries on pool skating, Duane Peters, […]

Love it or hate it, there can be no denying the legacy of the Search for Animal Chin. Some kids thought it was the best, while a lot of crews thought the skating was rad but the storyline and acting stunk up your VCR like last year’s Rectors. A few years back Powell rush released […]

I’d like to register my disastifaction that this video features no transsexuals or transgendered skaters, in fact there was not a single “chick with a ___” to be seen. Mountains of Tranny indeed! – k-ed. Good value for dollar here. SKATECOLORADO – MOUNTAINS OF TRANNYS covers 10 years, scores of spots and skaters and a […]
