Podcasts about Guided by Voices

The second part of the monthly new release series is generally dominated by the latest records Malibu Lou has put out on his legendary Rum Bar Records label. This month is no different, and it’s a perfect kick off to over two hours of great new tunes. 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! What’s your favorite new album? For more info, including setlists, head to http://scotthudson.blogspot.com

Will and David discuss new releases by Vanity Box, Grace Ives, and Iceage, plus numerous live reports from the land of indie rock stardom, bonus songs, and more.

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!

This week, I'm joined by John Flansburgh of They Might Be Giants to look at their incredible body of music video work (481 videos and counting on their YouTube page!), and get treated to so many incredible mind-bending stories directly from the source!We discuss TMBG's track and video they made for my Hedwig covers charity album, the fascination with death and aging in their lyrics, the moment when both Johns first realized they were connecting with an audience of strangers, borrowing expensive drum machines when they started, foolish life decisions, the East Village scene of the 80s, playing on the same bills as Butthole Surfers & Steve Buscemi, Jon Spencer Blues Explosion, long-distance collaborations, the multitudes of songs written for their Dial-A-Song answering machine service, the John Updike world the band came from, having architectural dads, the pros of being ultra-prolific, the different ways they would record their songs, microtones, the children's records era for TMBG, working with their first director Adam Bernstein, TMBG being accepted by early MTV, using left-over film from Jonathan Demme movies and windup 16mm cameras for their early videos, where they got the 6ft. head props used in their stage shows, John getting music video fatigue, the parameters the band set early in their career (no solos, not a lot of intros, no fadeouts), Spike Jonze, the epic tale of TMBG playing on The Tonight Show with Doc Severson, & more.THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS:theymightbegiants.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTZ0pVJExw6z0XjqEzchX8gREVOLUTIONS 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! 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.

My guest this week is musician David Pajo (Slint, Papa M, Gang Of Four), who picked the Louisville, Kentucky indie music film Half-Cocked to discuss. BUT…there was so much to talk about that this is only part one of the conversation before we even got to talking about the film! We discussed his Papa M compositions, how Slint songs were made to sound like they were improvised but were actually meticulous in their structure, how his new album was all one-take performances done without a computer, needing a cheat sheet for Slint reunion songs, the concept of "through" composing, the humor within Slint, Andy Gill of Gang Of Four playing his guitar without touching it, joining GO4 and how it opened him up as a live performer, the challenges of learning and playing the song "He'd Send In The Army", is the guitar a friend/foe/tool, Big Black, the Slint documentary Breadcrumb Trail, breaking your parents' will using the Butthole Surfers, David playing in Stereolab & Interpol, aging in indie rock, and David asks me questions about my wild times in Guided By Voices.So let's play with our backs to the audience on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie.DAVID PAJO:papam.bandcamp.com/instagram.com/cestcadavidpajoHALF-COCKED: vimeo.com/ondemand/halfcockedREVOLUTIONS 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.   THANKS TO OUR SPONSORS! http://UltimateMixingMasterclass.com https://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.adam-audio.com/ https://www.spectra1964.com https://gracedesign.com/ https://pickrmusic.com  https://RecordingStudioRockstars.com/Academy https://www.thetoyboxstudio.com/ Listen to the podcast theme song "Skadoosh!" https://solo.to/lijshawmusic Listen to this guest's discography on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/0RdFM4aImmogaEJBwV5pla?si=8b285a72dca7478a   If you love the podcast, then please leave a review: https://RSRockstars.com/Review   CLICK HERE FOR COMPLETE SHOW NOTES AT: https://RSRoockstars.com/543

Welcome to an Encore Presentation of one of my favorite episodes ever of Revolutions Per Movie, where I got to discuss the documentary Desolation Center with the creators of these legendary events (who else would put the Minutemen on a barge or Einsturzende Neubauten in the desert). Plus, I love it whenever I get to surprise my guests with more guests to create the whole picture from the inside out. Enjoy!(Episode 33 originally aired on April 25th, 2024).The original show notes:This week, we talk to Stuart Swezey & Bruce Licher, who produced and worked on the Desolation Center series of shows that took bands like minutemen, Swans, Redd Kross, Meat Puppets, Sonic Youth, and Einsturzende Neubauten and put them in locations such as the Mojave Desert as a reaction to the omnipresent police violence against punk rock kids. We talked about the Desolation Center documentary that Swezey directed, the iconic visuals that Licher created for the events, having the legendary artist Chris Burden as your teacher, the healing power of Throbbing Gristle, how to source school buses to take punk rockers to the desert, fake ids, Savage Republic, Glenn Branca and the No New York LP, Redd Kross getting lost in the desert, violence coming from rednecks, the notion of selling out and not repeating oneself, the impact of D.

Welcome to an Encore Presentation of the first episode ever of Revolutions Per Movie...It had to start somewhere...and of course I had to begin with 'Dig' the Dandy Warhols/Brian Jonestown Massacre documentary! I was so happy that my first discussion already had a surprise guest to dismantle the film from the inside. Oh, the youth of us all...ha! (Episode 1 originally aired on Sept. 14th 2023).The original show notes:Hello and welcome to Revolutions Per Movie, a podcast about music documentaries, music-based fiction films, and the art of the music video.I'm your host, Chris Slusarenko— a musician who has been in bands such as Eyelids & Guided By Voices and was once the owner of an independent video store in Portland, Oregon, for over 22 years.For our inaugural episode, we talk with author/musician Ryan H. Walsh, who chose the Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols documentary film “Dig!” to discuss. We are also joined later by a surprise guest from the Brian Jonestown Massacre camp, Travis Snyder, who was the band's tour manager for almost 20 years. We talk about how the film was initially commissioned to be a reality series by MTV, how bands in the 90s navigated the major label-feeding frenzy, the unhealthy lifestyle of band life, and how this documentary really did not tell the whole truth.So listen in as we discuss the revolution that never happened on this episode, Revolutions Per Movie.

Hey everyone...welcome to our bi-monthly ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vault!This was a special one...director Ryan Worsley had just finished the film at the time of this recording and was publicly screening it along with Negativland performing live afterwards. Not only was it the best Negativland performance I had ever seen, but it was also one of the most powerful (upsetting and darkly funny) shows I'd ever witnessed. A band that is notoriously difficult to pin down was explored beautifully with Stand By For Failure, so I was excited to get into the weeds (and we do!).(EPISODE 55 originally aired Sept 26th 2024)ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:This week, we are joined by documentary filmmaker RYAN WORLSEY to discuss her film STAND BY FOR FAILURE: A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT NEGATIVLAND. We discuss how Ryan was introduced to the world of Negativland and what she thought of it, how she decided the best way to tell their complicated but surpringly emotional story, the fair use doctrine and copyright law, are Negativland really a band, David Wills (aka The Weatherman) and his astonishing talents & laughter through it all, Negativland's origin story, how Negativland's current live show We Can Really Feel LIke We're Here might be their most powerful work to date, the band signing and then getting sued by SST Records, their long-running radio show Over The Edge, what Negativland did with band member Don Joyce's ashes after his passing, can you still culture jam today, plunderphonics, how Negativland's perceptions of the world are formed through their music and then mirrored back to us, Richard Lyons' and his alter egos, the U2 lawsuit against the band, the majesty of Casey Casem swearing, the resilience of the band through all their hardships, seeing the inside of The Residents' recording studio in the film, the Christianity Is Stupid murder myth, how artist's are still getting ripped off, what it's like being the subject of a documentary, where Ryan & Negativland stand on AI, and the cultural desert that is the suburbs.Is there any escape from noise?
