This week we are joined by director Ken Kwapis (The Larry Sanders Show, The Office, Freaks & Geeks), who just finished his first documentary, We Are The Shaggs, helping to tell the story of the legendary group of three sisters who made one of the most polarizing albums of all time in the late 60s.We discuss his iconic work on Freaks & Geeks, helping create The Larry Sanders Show while trying to help find the awkward smile of Rip Torn's character, how everyone seems to remember the very first time they ever heard The Shaggs' music, Ken's long path from discovering this album in 1980 to making this documentary, gaining the trust of The Shaggs' Dot and Betty Wiggin, Ken getting to crack open the lore of the band recording their first iconic record, fans such as Jonathan Richman, Frank Zappa & Patti Smith singing their praises, why do we get to choose between what is good vs bad music, how The Shaggs' music managed to shine brightly while under the duress of their domineering father who managed them, why this documentary was made completely independently of network/studio influence, how the band performed in their local town hall every Saturday night for years while not knowing any of the teens in the audience, why the band NRBQ are the missing link between the band's obscurity and us talking about it now, Prince's long-time engineer Susan Rogers and her thoughts on The Shaggs & gender, how complicated and hard it is to play their music, how the Dot wrote her lyrics and more!WE ARE THE SHAGGS:youtube.com/@wearetheshaggsinstagram.com/wearetheshaggs/REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.

Welcome to an ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults.As we near Halloween, it feels appropriate to revisit my first Halloween episode, which focused on the THIS IS GWAR documentary. But this is also a fascinating episode because this is before my guest, Chaki, and I knew we would become Urgh! A Music War soulmates (with our A Very Opinionated Look At Urgh Patreon series and our touring Professors Of Urgh live presenation/screenings). It's a sweet look at two goofballs who are headed toward a great friendship, not to mention the endless car rides where we STILL break down Urgh even after watching it over and over. And be sure to support Chaki at Bandcamp with his new vinyl LP, From L.A. To The Bay. If you're an Oh No It's Devo fan...it is essential!!! (Episode 7 originally aired on Oct 26th 2023)ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This haunted Halloween week, we talk to the L.A.-based musician Chaki, who is also the legendary host of The Hollywood Forever Punk Rock Graveyard Tour. We discussed the recent music documentary, This Is Gwar, and talked about how the two main creators of the band never buried the hatchet, the arrest of Oderus and censorship in music, the Gwar aesthetic and mythos, and what it’s like to discover your new favorite band while watching Jerry Springer.So does the cursed offspring Gor Gor doth dane to spoil our moment of triumph and glory?

This week on Revolutions Per Movie, I had the pleasure of having three souls who not only have swirled in and around the world of the musical/film/performance collective, Elephant 6, but who were also principal in the finishing of the final The Olivia Tremor Control record, The Same Place, completed 27 years after the release of their last record.We discuss their entry point into the world of Elephant 6, their world pre and post Olivia, how Derek joined the band, Elf Power, how beautifully unhinged the Elephant 6 live performances could be, how the first version of the documentary was passed around on VHS tape with a virtual library card system, the mystique of E6 bands, how the scene seemed bigger than it actually was, the era when people started co-opting the E6 logo and while other bands were distancing themselves from it, Neutral Milk Hotel, Robert Schneider of Apples In Stereo wanting to make rock history by capturing all of this greatness, how the director got involved with the film as someone who didn't kow much about E6, the Athens potluck scene, Rebecca Cole & The Minders, the frat vibe that permeates Athens still, the era when local government was going to make all bands in town become an LLC, what it was like to finish the record after the passing of OTC's two founding members--Will Hart & Bill Doss, Will & Bill's different work processes in OTC and what it was like working with both of them, how Jason got pulled into working on the final record and the emotions experienced during that, Dixie Blood Mustache, Mike's epic tale of putting out Will's Black Swan Network record, the lack of ego in OTC, R.E.M.'s reaction to the doc and more!THE OLIVIA TREMOR CONTROLoliviatremorcontrol.comoliviatremorcontrol.bandcamp.comHHBTM RECORDS:hhbtm.comDEREK ALMSTEAD:https://www.instagram.com/derekalmstead/JASON NeSMITH:casperandthecookies.comchaseparktransduction.com/staff-2REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.

They are also two incredible musicians, producers & engineers who have worked with The Who, Beck, Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac, Fiona Apple & Air, to name just a few. In this episode, we focus on George Martin's incredible scoring & arrangements for The Beatles as well as his long journey in film scoring.We discuss what drew them to work together after they initially found out they were writing competing books on The Beatles, gaining access to and the trust of The Beatles as well as Abbey Road & all of the people who had worked there, the feeling (and smell) of walking into Abbey Road studios, basketball court-shaped recording studios, why the Beatles were at one point running away from the "stodgy" atmosphere of Abbey Road, the legend of Magic Alex, what it was like to work with George Martin on a book about his scores, how many of his scores for The Beatles were written overnight, recreating the orchestral recording sessions at Abbey Road and telling the musicians they were playing it too well, playing the scores as if you've never heard these songs before, how it should be Martin-esque instead of Beatles-esque when it comes to emulating their sound, how researching Martin's orchestral score for Cheap Trick was a comedy of errors, what it's like performing their lectures at Abbey Road & around the world, the incredible tale of Martin's original full length score for Yellow Submarine that was not used & how Brian and Kevin were able to sync it up to the movie during their research, Martin's strange path through film scoring, the film he scored with Paul McCartney, his scores for George Harrison's Indian influenced songs, why Martin hid his real Cockney accent from the public, and more!!!THEIR BOOKS:[email protected]/@curvebenderpublishing.comLIVE GEORGE MARTIN: THE SCORES EVENTS:eventbrite.com/e/george-martin-the-beatles-scores-and-more-tickets-2001421462471REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.

Yes! It took a member of Mission of Burma to finally pick a Beatles film to discuss, three years into the podcast! Totally honored to have the person behind so much of my favorite sonic wizardry, Roger Clark Miller, on Revolutions Per Movie.We discuss the mysterious lore behind the Horrible Truth About Burma live LP and how it might be the high water mark of their tape manipulator (Martin Swope), the moment when Roger first heard the elements of Burma come together, the journey to get Peter Prescott a microphone so he could also sing in the band, Sproton Layer--Roger’s band he started in 1969 with his brothers when they were barely teenagers, playing Sun Ra records to weed out the drummers who auditioned for Burma, the influences on the chaos inside the beauty of their songs, why Roger thinks Sproton Layer was Burma through a psychedelic lens rather than a post-punk one (and how they interconnected artistically), the hope baked within The Summer Of Love, Roger's first band Factor and why he had to leave them behind, Silver Apples, recording an improv session with your brothers while your parents go square dancing, how a 70 year old modern dancer heard Sproton Layer and decided their music needed to be published in score format, how Roger felt he finally became a good guitar player by the time they recorded Burma's VS, the making of the Vacu Trem and Vacu Fuzz guitar pedals, the Vacuheads, Roger's scientific family and living with monkeys in their backyard, how Roger writes lyrics and Syd Barrett’s influence on him, how frustratingly great Yellow Submarine is (of course The Beatles have a fantastic animated film in them!), how George Harrison's drone pop tracks were often the highlight for us, Roger seeing the film on acid in the theater, The Beatles' animated shows, George's song "Blue Jay Way" and its lyrical influence on Roger’s new record (The Green Man), getting off the Beatles train and the butcher cover, how different The Stones are versus The Beatles in dealing with their legacy and more!Roger Clark Miller:rogerclarkmiller.com/The Green Man:rogercmillermusic.bandcamp.com/album/the-green-manSproton Layer:sprotonlayer12xu.bandcamp.com/album/press-your-hand-and-the-whole-room-fluctuatesREVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE:Host Chris Slusarenko (Eyelids, Guided By Voices, owner of Clinton Street Video rental store) is joined by actors, musicians, comedians, writers & directors who each week pick out their favorite music documentary, musical, music-themed fiction film, or music videos to discuss.
