Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault!I love this episode because my initial experience of seeing this upsetting, darkly funny film (by the director of The Brutalist) was completely thrown overboard due to my guest Logan Lynn's harmful experience within the music industry when he was younger (which is the subject of his new documentary, The Pain And The Power). A fantastic discussion on a polarizing film that's a hard watch, but never leaves you.(Episode 25 originally aired on Feb 29th 2024).ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we talk to indie pop dance legend and Kill Rock Stars recording artist, Logan Lynn, who picked the extremely intense music narrative film, Vox Lux, to discuss. We discussed the realities and tropes of music films, Lynn's early years as a teenager on a major label, the lack of protection for young artists within creative industries, addressing addiction and trauma in your art, the notion of selling out, backstage rituals, making fun of ‘The Devil', the Swedish Pop Mafia, how music gets taken out of context, whether or not Natalie Portman a convincing pop icon in the movie and so much more.So get ready to dance through the pain on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.Logan Lynn:https://loganlynnmusic.com/youtube.com/watch?v=M3Rkoe_UlR4REVOLUTIONS 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.

My guest this week is Evan Minsker (Critic/Journalist for Pitchfork & the heart behind the amazing punk newsletter See/Saw) who (...wait for it...) picked a very punk film: Autonomy And Deliberation, by a very Australian AND very punk band The UV Race. And although it has never been publicly released, the director and the band let us watch it so we can discuss it for you! Got it yet?!?!?We talk about why the finished film never reached eyes outside of a few friends in Australia, Evan's early punk rock roots, the fear of being reviewed on Pitchfork, not being able to get into the venue to see Fugazi and Scratch Acid (so you listen to them outside), the amazing punk scenes and punk labels happening all around the world right now, alternative DIY spaces, being the oldest person at the show (at age 27), Turnstile, how The UV Race has no wikipedia page/follows no one back on social media/embraces broken web links, the poetry of front man Marcus, the mystery surrounding the director Johann Rashid and his film inluences as a child which influenced his filmmaking, Courtney Barnett, the self-depricating tone of the film, the cameos from members of Eddy Current Suppression Ring, Dick Diver & Total Control, the soundtrack for the unreleased film, blowing the band money at the Greyhound Track, how the structure of the film is bascially The Blues Brothers ("I've got to get the band back together"), how the film is built upon the band's inner workings/language and sense of humor, Marcus' other band Hot Tubs Time Machine, their also unseen Sci-Fi followup: THE UV RACE DISGRACE SPACE, and we pitch a new film to complete their filmic trilogy.EVAN MINSKER:see-saw.funTHE UV RACE: intheredrecords.com/collections/the-uv-race/products/autonomy-deliberationREVOLUTIONS 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.

"All The Beauty" With close to 15 albums under his musical belt, the New Jersey-born Pete Yorn is one of the most arresting and compelling singer/songwriters on the planet. Ever since his auspicious Gold-selling 2001 debut musicforthemorningafter, Yorn has moved from strength to strength, with albums like Day I Forgot, Nightcrawler, Hawaii and his marvelous new one, All The Beauty. More on that last one in a second. Over the course of his career, Yorn has amassed quite a highlight reel--here's a partial list. He's collaborated with everyone from Guided By Voices to Matthew Good, shared bills with R.E.M., Crowded House and Weezer, played Carnegie Hall, given the commencement address at his alma mater, Syracuse University, composed the score for Me, Myself and Irene, appeared in Killers Of The Flower Moon, put out a handful of excellent live albums and teamed up with Scarlet Johansson for The Break-Up album and the Apart EP. Let's get back to All The Beauty. From introspective numbers like Never Said No and Out Of My Head to the jangling beauty of Estate to the crushing closer "Everything," All The Beauty is a riveting and spellbinding listen. As for Mr. Yorn, he couldn't be a nicer guy and this was a really cool chat. www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) IG + THREADS + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

For this week's Encore Presentation of Revolutions Per Movie, I bring you my 4th episode ever (just listen to my youthful, nervous voice doing the intro here...ha!). I was fortunate enough to discuss one of my favorite music films about one of my favorite bands with one of my favorite people, Nick Agular (Frankie And The Witch Fingers, Mike Watt). Enjoy!(Episode 4 originally aired on Oct 5th 2023).ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we talked to musician Nick Aguilar, who chose the documentary film “We Jam Econo,” which focused on the legendary punk band The Minutemen. Since Nick has performed and toured with The Minutemen's Mike Watt, he has excellent insight into the world of the LA punk rock scene, SST records, growing up in San Pedro, and, of course, being in the van with the legend that is Mike Watt.So, fellow corndogs, get in and let's mersh out about The Minutemen and “we Jam Econo” on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie.Nick Aguilar:www.instagram.com/nickguyone/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.

Scott Hatch grew up Methodist, but learned about DIY music at his college radio station. When he started his label, Burnt Toast Vinyl, in 1996 he put out bands that had a similar background to him- fellow youth group kids. One of those youth group kids was Randall Stephens. He grew up Nazarene, but was inspired by bands like Pavement and Guided By Voices to start the band Jetenderpaul in the early 1990s. After releasing three albums and a handful of singles for Velvet Blue Music and Burnt Toast Vinyl, Stephens went on to become a respected academic who researches the intersection of Christianity and rock music. His book, The Devil's Music, is essential reading on the topic. This year Burnt Toast Vinyl re-released Jetenderpaul's second album, The Woolen Spires on vinyl for the first time. --Do you have a Christian rock story to tell? Want to respond to this episode?

Welcome to this ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults.Today, we pay tribute to filmmaker Brian Lindstrom, who sadly passed away recently, with this incredible discussion about the film he co-directed, LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL, with his co-director Andy Brown & Aquarium Drunkard's Jason P. Woodbury. Anyone who had the pleasure of knowing or working with Brian will tell you he was one of the kindest, wisest, and big-hearted people ever, and his filmmaking absolutely reflected that. If you haven't seen his films Lost Angel, Mothering Inside, or Alien Boy yet, please take the time to spend with these incredibly powerful films. He will be missed.(Episode 39 originally aired on June 6th, 2024).This week, I'm joined by JASON P. WOODBURY (of Aquarium Drunkard) and filmmakers BRIAN LINDSTROM & ANDY BROWN to discuss their incredible new film LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL. We talked about Judee Sill's gnostic relationship to her music and how she backed it up in her lifestyle, what our introductions to her music were like, Sill's disdain of being lumped in with Christian Rock & opening for rock bands, her influence on Andy Partridge of XTC, how the filmmakers shaped the film over the past ten years, Tooth & Nail Records, the mythologizing of a subject's life in documentary filmmaking, Asylum Records and her ups and downs with David Geffen, Some Kind Of Monster, Sill's vulnerability and ego in her diary writings and drawings, how they chose to animate Sill's artwork and found her voice, Sill's influence on a new generation of musicians, her iconic Old Grey Whistle Test performance of “The Kiss,” how the film addresses childhood trauma, addiction, and resilience, what parts of Sill's life didn't fit into the film, and the power of Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Guided By Voices & SST Records.So join us as we talk about one of the greatest songwriters to ever be part of the cosmos, Judee Sill, on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.WATCH LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILLhttps://greenwichentertainment.com/film/JASON P.

Why do your deepest, most emotional songs come out better when you stop trying so hard?In this episode, I sit down with Nashville legend Bobby Bare Jr. - fearless songwriter, creative instigator, touring bassist for Guided By Voices, and the son of Country Music Hall of Famer Bobby Bare. This conversation is a masterclass in real creativity, free of pretension and full of joy, humor, wisdom, and truth bombs about songwriting, gear, life, ego, and the artistic process.We dig deep into Bobby's philosophy that the most powerful songs often come from the most playful moments - not the heavy, serious headspace many writers force themselves into. He tells wild and meaningful stories, from growing up backstage at the Opry, to working with Shel Silverstein, to learning 60+ Guided By Voices songs at once, to the Dalai Lama cracking jokes at the Tibetan Freedom Concert.Bobby talks about writing on airplanes, co-writing momentum, muscle memory, the Nashville Number System, meditation, removing ego, and why melody can't be taught. We even get into his early days selling T-shirts on tour with his dad, the lost demos at Alex the Great, tape machines popping out of record, Jason & The Scorchers, R.E.M, Walk the West, and the magic of the first spontaneous four minutes of an idea before “your brain ruins it.”He also shares insights on finishing songs, why momentum matters more than inspiration, how to cheat with an iPad without anyone noticing, producing at Ocean Way, working with Travis Harrison, and his upcoming Indiegogo to record a new album in Sweden.This one is packed with gold for songwriters, musicians, producers, and anyone trying to break out of their head and into flow.Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.comTHANKS TO OUR SPONSORS!http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.comhttps://usa.sae.edu/ https://www.izotope.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.native-instruments.com Use code ROCK10 to get 10% off!https://www.spectra1964.comhttps://gracedesign.com/https://pickrmusic.com https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academyhttps://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/Listen to the podcast theme song “Skadoosh!” https://solo.to/lijshawmusicListen to this guest's discography on Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1z4nv7oyqGM8BLkQckfnBn?si=9301F66ZRHGNFpBrKT0d0wIf you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/ReviewCLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRockstars.com/563
For this week's Encore Presentation of Revolutions Per Movie, I bring you an incredible discussion with Mark Webber of Pulp, where we discussed everything from Mark's unique path into the band (tin foil, anyone?) and how we can never escape the mighty imprint of The Velvet Underground. Enjoy!(Episode 80 originally aired on March 13th, 2025).ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we are joined by PULP's MARK WEBBER to discuss what was to be the most influential documentary of his life, THE SOUTH BANK EPISODE ABOUT THE VELVET UNDERGROUND. We discuss Mark's path from making fanzines (including interviewing Mo Tucker), & running the Pulp fanclub to eventually joining PULP as they embarked on their classsic records (DIFFERENT CLASS, THIS IS HARDCORE & WE LOVE LIFE), how Pulp composes music, being too young to get the Velvet Underground on first listen, the sweet spot of interviewing the Velvet Underground at the time of this documentary, Warhol's Factory, Mark's first time in NYC paying homage to his NYC heroes, Jonas Mekas, record store clerk suggestions, Spaceman 3, Pulp in 1978, the highs and lows of being in your favorite band, Mark's decades-long curation and research of experimental film, David Bowie as a direct line to the Velvet Underground, I Shot Andy Warhol, Bridget Berlin, Cat Power, Mark trying to do his own version of Warhol's Exploding Plastic Inevitable for Pulp called The Day That Never Happened, John Cale and Lou Reed's solo work, Mark getting to witness the Velvet Undeground reunion shows in person, The Pulp People Accommodation Register, Nico and more!!!So let's wrap some trees in tin foil and start the lights strobing on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!MARK WEBBER:hatandbeard.com/products/im-with-pulp-are-you-by-mark-webberhttps://markwebber.org.uk/archive/about/https://welovepulp.info/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.

The Hollywood Stars, The Amplifier Heads, Stop Calling Me Frank, Gene Champagne and Girl With a Hawk are this month’s Rum Bar representatives, and they’re all fabulous. There’s also a sampler of tunes from the lastest Dam-Nations compilation series. The rest of the show is a battle of sorts between veterans and noobs. On the veterans side, there’s great new music from the likes of Guided By Voices, Social Distortion, Dwarves, Die Toten Hosen (their final album!), Nashville Pussy, and the Real McKenziess. On the “noob” side, there are acts sucks as Irked, Taxi Girls, Cable TV, Hoaxxers, and so many more that once again proves there will always be great new rock and roll bands!

For this week's episode, I convinced my guest, comedian/actor Eugene Mirman (Bob's Burgers, Flight Of The Conchords, Delocated), to let me record my 500th episode 7 years in advance in order to capitalize on his star power.We discuss the magic of comedy albums & comedy concert films; recording visual comedy for an album, Eugene's 7 LP Sub Pop masterwork I'm Sorry (You're Welcome), which includes 45 minutes of him crying and 159 orgasms, Eugene's scrapped "jokes for animals", his new LP & video special Here Comes The Whimsy, Eugene pushing the boundaries of a physical audio release by having it also available as a chair or a sack of flour that you have to carry around like a baby, how Eugene records his parts for the Bob's Burgers' songs. PLUS Eugene surprises me with a music film (5 minutes before recording) to discuss: "What The Hell Happened To Blood, Sweat & Tears," which is about the band being blackmailed into performing behind the Iron Curtain by the U.S. government.So let's join Eugene in sending fifty tap shoes to a restaurant of his choice on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!EUGENE MIRMAN: www.eugenemirman.comprettygoodfriends.comHERE COMES THE WHIMSY: EUGENE'S NEW FULL STAND-UP SPECIAL:www.youtube.com/watch?v=JHPEaN1DxKwREVOLUTIONS 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.

My guest this week is NYC-based musician, author, and performance artist Joseph Keckler (NPR's Tiny Desk, tours with Lydia Lunch & Sleater-Kinney), who chose the 1929 two-reeler short St. Louis Blues, which is the legend Bessie Smith's first and only film appearance. We discuss Joseph's iconic performance on NPR's Tiny Desk Concert Series, how he came to unleash his powerful vocal range on a wide range of audiences, choosing to write and sing in German about the adult moments where he was relapsing into a teenage Goth, befriending and touring with Lydia Lunch, Bebe Hansen, the current No-Wave scene in NYC, the excitement of having a standoff with an audience, opening for Sleater-Kinney, confusing but life-altering concert billings, where we both were when first hearing Bessie Smith and the imprint it left on us, why this 1929 short film of Bessie Smith was almost destroyed in the 50s, tape trading with The Residents, hearing Aretha Franklin's voice coming up through the floorboards and being obsessed with Cab Calloway & Bessie Smith as a child, Bessie's acting chops and the unique direction of this performance & more.So let's sing at the top of our lungs into the bottom of our beer mug on this week's Revolutions Per Movie.Joseph will be performing on May 31st 2026 in NYC at TV EYE w/ Genre Is DeathTickets available at tveyenyc.com/calendarJOSEPH KECKLER:josephkeckler.com/BESSIE SMITH in ST.

Welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! Today, as we frustratingly say goodbye (for now) to Stephen Colbert on Late Night, I bring you the sweetest and most honest discussion from The Late Show With Stephen Colbert writer & performer, the legendary Brian Stack. Not only did we discuss his love and passion for Townes Van Zandt (whose documentary he chose to discuss), but he was also really open about his time at Late Night With Conan O'Brien and his transition to working on Colbert's show, offering a fascinating glimpse into the world of late-night.Hope to see you again soon, Dr. Frankenstein's Monster!(Episode 104 originally aired on July 17th, 2025).This week, I am joined by one of the greatest late-night writers & performers of all time, BRIAN STACK (Late Night With Conan O'Brien, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert), who picked a beloved music documentary to discuss: Be Here To Love Me - A Film About Townes Van Zandt.We discuss the differences between working on Conan and Stephen's shows, the last-minute panic of doing a late night show, my experience performing on Conan, accidental mistakes turning into magic, how many of Brian's characters are tragically musical, band banter, the melancholy edge of the best comedy, how musicians who write the best sad songs are often the funniest people, the creation of the band Slipnutz, how Townes' music came into both our lives later in life, songs that tear you heart out, being a musician's musician, The Stooges, Aimee Mann, Dave Alvin, The Chelsea Hotel being the headquarters of Zandt's record label, how Townes is his own storyteller in this documentary, self-destructive tendencies in comedy and music, Dylan and Townes relationship, our Chris Elliott obsessions, being under-heard and misunderstood, Steve Shelley of Sonic Youth trying to help Townes make a record, the documentary Heartworn Highways, Neko Case, Mick Jagger's country accent, writing songs in your dreams and so much more.So let's laugh through the pain on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie.BRIAN STACK:https://teamcoco.com/celebs/brian-stackREVOLUTIONS 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.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Doug Gillard. Born in Sandusky, Ohio, Doug performed in a number of punk groups in high school, and in the early '80s joined the Cleveland rock band Death of Samantha. After their breakup in 1990, Doug became one of the original members of Cobra Verde, who then became Bob Pollard's backing band on Mag Earwhig!. This led to Doug joining Guided by Voices, who he performed with from 1997 to 2004 and then from 2016 to the present. This, of course, is just a small sampling of Doug's musical CV. On his own, Doug has been making albums since the mid-'80s, and his most recent album Parallel Stride just came out a few weeks ago on Dromedary Records, and it's fantastic!

Welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! This was a favorite of mine from a few years back, with punk legend, KT Kincaid of NEO BOYS, who came on the show to discuss our heroes, THE SLITS, and the amazing doc about their genius, HERE TO BE HEARD. Plus, I love getting to spend time with someone who helped bring an embryonic music scene to life, even as they had to push against the difficulties posed by local music club bans, volatile press, and a general public that feared any type of punk existence on the planet.(Episode 40 originally aired on June 4th, 2024). ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we talked to musician and vital member of the late 70s/early 80s Portland Punk Scene, KT Kincaid, who picked the incredible doc, THE SLITS HERE TO BE HEARD. We discussed her and her sister's importance in the creation of the punk scene, their band NEO BOYS (whose recordings were reissued on K Records), discovering Bowie, seeing punkers before hearing punk, the rarity of finding punk records, picking the bass guitar over other instruments, nobody sounding like The Slits & the genius of Viv Albertine's guitar playing, being in a band with your sister, getting 50 people to come to a show, the video for ‘Earthbeat', The Flowers Of Romance, the punk collective mindset & loyalties in the punk scene, opening for Television, practicing non-stop in your first band & taking it so seriously, pooling money to buy records, the violence towards the early punk scene, the gang mentality of being in a band, the magic of chance meetings, getting pissed at the Guardian's review of this documentary, and Chris reads the minutes from one of the Portland punk collective's meetings from the late 70s.Nothing typical here as we dive into this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!NEO BOYS:https://neoboys.bandcamp.com/album/sooner-or-later-vol-1-klp242THE SLITS ‘Earthbeat' videohttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqiFYcKEhxsREVOLUTIONS 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, I am joined by musician/editor Neil Gust (Heatmiser, No.2) to discuss the troubling, complicated, and 'unreleased' Rolling Stones film C*cksucker Blues, directed by legendary photographer Robert Frank. We also discuss Neil's early days in Portland in his band with Elliott Smith--Heatmiser, Chris directing two early music videos for the band, the process of revisiting and re-releasing the Heatmiser records for Third Man Records, the odd newness of indie rock legacy, Neil's autobiographical songwriting (including "A.O.R." which is about Neil working on his Dad's farm as well as how his Dad's use of the word “c*cksucker” made Neil not want to tell anyone he was gay, Neil writing the Heatmiser song C*cksuckers Blues in response to the Rolling Stone's film, Let It Bleed, how seeing Apocalypse Now at a young age solidified Neil's love of intertwining music and film, how the Stones have had some of the greatest film directors of all time make some of their worst films, how Robert Frank got involved in making the film and the difficulties that surrounded it, why the Stones killed the film, bad art getting a ‘pass' when it's shown in museums, saving or ruining art in the edit, Rock N Roll Circus, Martin Scorsese's Shine A Light, seeing the Stones live and how janky it could be, comparing The Stones to a John Cassavetes film, Neil making the Heatmiser video for C*cksuckers Blues, Bruce Conner and found footage films, being turned onto art through bands like Hüsker Dü and R.E.M. and more.So bring the smelling salts, because today we're going deep into the murk on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!!!Heatmiser videos (both directed by Chris Slusarenko):Blackout: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgNMZbOiCe4&list=RDkgNMZbOiCe4&start_radio=1Why Did I Decide To Stay:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ra0ZDlo_jnE&list=RDra0ZDlo_jnE&start_radio=1Heatmiser video (directed by Neil Gust)C*cksuckers Blues:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CAEFCZoxWo&list=RD7CAEFCZoxWo&start_radio=1REVOLUTIONS 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 our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault! One of my favorite authors/writers/directors of all time, Jim Gavin (Jim's AMC show Lodge 49 is still one of the greatest series that has ever landed on Earth and those who have lived in it know that it's the truth) brought me a music doc about a band that is located deep within his heart, Don't Break Down, a film about Jawbreaker.(Episode 36 originally aired on May 16th, 2024). ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:My guest this week is Jim Gavin (the creator of AMC's incredible series Lodge 49 and author of Middle Men), who chose to discuss the Jawbreaker documentary Don't Break Down. We talk about the band's grip on their fans, the eventual backlash against Jawbreaker, lyrics that destroy you, the Masonic world and the genesis of Lodge 49, East Coast punk vs. West Coast punk, Lilies/Broadcast/Stereolab and other sonic rabbit holes, creating imaginary mentors, the legendary Jabberjaw/L.A. scene, creating your own mythology about a band, obsessing over Blake's lyrics, the nature of imploding bands, the concept of selling out and Nirvana's success, music as time travel, looking for a specific sound and hiring a private detective to find a specific song.So please don't turn your back towards the band on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!!!JIM GAVIN:https://www.vogue.com/article/lodge-49-ode-the-best-television-show-you-missedhttps://twitter.com/jimatdeltacohttps://www.tigervanbooks.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.

What actually happens when you stop isolating everything and just let a band play together in the room? Get access to FREE mixing mini-course: https://MixMasterBundle.com My guest today is Travis Harrison, founder of Serious Business Music, a Brooklyn-based studio known for capturing raw, honest performances from real bands. Travis joined me to talk about how his studio and workflow evolved over time - from early audio-only recordings to embracing video, hybrid setups, and modern tools - while still staying rooted in classic recording approaches. We talked about recording bands live in the room, why Travis embraces bleed instead of fighting it, and how capturing the energy of a performance often matters more than perfect isolation. He shared how he'll use simple setups like a single M 160 ribbon mic on drums, how preparation and adaptability become critical when recording larger bands, and why letting musicians interact naturally can shape the sound of a record in ways plugins never will. Travis also broke down his hybrid workflow, using tape as a tone-shaping tool rather than a rigid format - running tracks through a tape machine for color before moving into Pro Tools for editing and mixing. We discussed mic choices like using an SM57 on bass cabinets for midrange growl, routing and flexibility with a Soundcraft Ghost console, and how his Brooklyn studio has been shaped by real-world challenges like soundproofing, space limitations, and evolving technology. Throughout the conversation, we kept coming back to the balance between tradition and innovation - and why great records still come down to musicians, rooms, and decisions made in the moment.
