I never met or even heard of Bill Bartell before watching this documentary, but darn if filmmaker Dave Markey doesn't bring him to life in his brilliant film, THE SECRET LIVES OF BILL BARTELL. The film is a kaleidoscope of events and people; you'll think it's a mockumentary before realizing that...it's all true.It is a testament to the craft of Dave that he creates such a stunning documentary about a unique subject, and we get into how he's sustained a career in music, punk rock, and documentary. The film had its world premiere at Slamdance 2025.In this episode, we discuss:the story behind THE SECRET LIVES OF BILL BARTELL;how he got involved in filmmaking and got the skillset to make such a genre-breaking film;creating the intentional rush the viewer gets from watching the film -- "I wanted to make the experience I had with him in real life";how the film came together over 30 years and his use of a mockumentary structure;his thoughts on funding and distributing his own films over the years;the future of documentary filmmaking and the possibility of AI;why Slamdance and why the Breakout Features category;will LGBTQ films be harder to make in the future?Dave's Indie Film/Filmmaker Highlights: HARLEY FLANAGAN: WIRED FOR CHAOS (2024) dir. by Rex Miller; 40 WATTS FROM NOWHERE (2025) dir. by Sue Carpenter; DEBARGE (2025) dir. by Matthew Siretta; Sean BakerLinks:Follow THE SECRET LIVES OF BILL BARTELL On InstagramWe Got Power FilmsSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/first-time-go/exclusive-content

His latest documentary, The Secret Lives of Bill Bartell (2025), explores the influence of a key figure cultural figure, bull rider and cop Bill Bartell.
This week, we are joined by New Zealand musician & composer LUKASZ PAWEL BUDA (Hunt For The Wilderpeople; The Phoenix Foundation), who picked the Dave Markey music documentary 1991: THE YEAR PUNK BROKE to discuss. We talk about discovering Nirvana & Sonic Youth, what it's like for Luke to compose music for director Taika Waititi's films, 1991's director Dave Markey's history with SST records, Luke taking the teenage trek to see grunge bands live and does Pearl Jam count as a grunge band, how this movement captured in the film eventually became a world wide sensation, the Sonic Youth Goo VHS tape, Thurston's stream of conciousness rants in the movie, the start of documenting everything with film & video, how Sonic Youth did not come off as goofballs on their albums but did in their videos, Meat Puppets Up On The Sun, the Sub-Pop situation, selling out, Jawbreaker, what was selling out in New Zealand like, Flying Nun Records, Bad Moon Rising, the ceiling of the underground, Nirvana's Bleach, hearing Smells Like Teen Spirit for the first time, Chris's Sub-Pop band playing with Mudhoney and Nirvana the day their album went gold, seeing Sonic Youth wearing shorts, The Crucifucks, Steve Shelley's drumming, Markey's knack of knowing where to film at any given moment, the incredible coolness of Kim Gordon, how the film gloriously shows how Sonic Youth actually made these songs come to life, how impressive it is that Sonic Youth could still hold onto what made them singualr while moving into a more accessable world, Miles Davis' Bitches Brew, how Nirvana ecplised Sonic Youth's popularity by the time this film came out, Courtney Love, the overwhelming Redding Festival lineup that year, how the Super 8mm format enhanced the film, blind spots in musical cultutre, The Pixies and the melancholy that happens as your tour ends.So grab the tiny mic and scream straight into the camera on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!LUKASZ PAWEL BUDA:https://thephoenixfoundation.bandcamp.comhttps://www.monikermusic.nethttps://lukebuda1.bandcamp.com/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.

This week, we present the first of our two-part episode with filmmaker, musician, and photographer DAVE MARKEY (‘1991: The Year Punk Broke,' ‘Lovedolls Superstar,' Painted Willie on SST records) about 'the change our lives forever' videotape for both of us: DEVO's ‘The Men Who Make The Music.' We discuss how Devo has been the most influential influence on our life and creative work, getting picked on for liking DEVO and pushing back, Neil Young working with the band, the proper way to say Boojie Boy, Devo's video director (Chuck Statler) singular style and use of non-actors, the concept of selling out, early MTV, seeing Devo live, Dr. Demento & SNL, Devo being championed as a Los Angeles band, dealing with Whip It as a hit song, Dave's early work as a teenage filmmaker, Devo's evolution of songwriting, how sexy Mark Mothersbaugh is, CLUB DEVO, John Lydon almost joining Devo, bands jumping on the New Wave bandwagon and how the Devo's body of work could be absolutely frightening. So take your hotsy-totsy swinger, put them under pressure, and watch them fall apart on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.David Markey:www.wegotpowerfilms.comRevolutions 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.

The Plot thickens with Ryan, Brant and Dave Markey. . . . . YOU DON'T KNOW MOJACK is a podcast dedicated to exploring the entire SST catalogue, in order, from start to finish. During the podcast we will discuss all the releases that are part of our core DNA, as well as many lesser-known releases that deserve a second chance, or releases that we are discovering for the very first time (we actually don't know Mojack!). First and foremost we are fans, and acknowledge that we are not perfect and don't know everything – sometimes the discussion is more about a time, place, feeling, personal experience or random tangents, and less about the facts (but we will try to get to the facts too).

How goes it, Docs Till Death-ers?! This week, the crew discusses Dave Markey's film from 1992 called 1991: THE YEAR THAT PUNK BROKE. We gotta admit, we're a little confused, so we're glad that Thirstin' More could be on hand to serve as spiritual guide, educating us in the ways of the grunge. The film is a riveting snapshot of "alternative" music in the moments before that music, and Nirvana in particular, would achieve immense global success -- which in turn, would lead to seismic shifts in the music industry and in culture, more broadly. Plus, the movie also features one (maybe two) decent bands. Maybe two and a half. In any event, we sort it all out on the pod, so give it a listen. And fair warning: this one's a hot take special! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/docstilldeath/message

1991 The Year Punk Broke Directed by Dave Markey Spotify Playlist For our second episode, our roc’ doc’ watchers leave sunny seventies California and traverse across a decade and over intercontinental borders to witness the workings of a huge European festival tour featuring Sonic Youth, Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr., Gumball, and Babes in Toyland. The film is 1991: The Year Punk Broke, a collection of concerts and other assorted happenings captured on 8mm by Dave Markey and released one year later after Nirvana had effectively conquered the hearts and minds of a generation impassioned with apathy. Through fan interactions, live sets, backstage banter both staged (apparently inspired by the Madonna doc Truth Or Dare, which none of us have seen) and improvised, we get an arm’s length but nonetheless revealing look at bands pushing out of their indie-rock habitats into the inviting if bewildering tendrils of popular culture and mass appeal.

Kara Grainger is an Australian-born, US-based blues woman who has played around the world. She started her music career in a suburb of Sydney Australia when, at 16, as an accomplished blues guitarist and singer, she and her brother Mitch Grainger formed the band "Papa Lips". They toured Australia and produced two studio albums heavily influenced by the sounds of Stax records and funky blues and soul from New Orleans. In 2008 she signed to Australian label and came to the US to record her debut solo album, "Grand and Green River “which stayed in the top 30 of the Americana Charts for 38 weeks. The rest is history – tours of Europe, Asia, the US, TV appearances , opening for stars. Her new single, Living with Your Ghost, will be released this Friday and we will preview it. Mad. Insane. Crazy. Brilliant. Weird. There are a lot of ways to describe Kurt Stifle and the Swing Shift and Kurt’s various musician incarnations (aka Kurt Shellenberger). Co-founder/writer for 80s punkers The Nip Drivers, he did crazy stuff like appear in the Dave Markey film “Desperate Teenage Lovedolls,” recording albums like Destroy Whitey and released popular covers of “Fox on the Run” . Three decades and multiple musical incarnations later, he is the leader of Kurt Stifle and the Swing Shift and has just released, The Pilgrim’s Guide to The River of Salvation, a 16-track rock opera that’s the latest twist of zany but laser focused inspiration from the composer, producer and guitarist’s freewheeling ever-evolving collective Labor Camp. The album is all about the journey, so we will hear songs from the past 60 years of pop, from Dylan to Cheap Trick and Black Flag. We have Kurt. We have the album. And we will have fun this Friday.
