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.
