REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE 'LOUDER THAN YOU THINK: A LO-FI HISTORY OF GARY YOUNG & PAVEMENT' w/ Jed I. Rosenberg, Jeffrey Clark & Brian Thalken
This week we are joined by the director and producers of the amazing Gary Young/Pavement documentary ‘LOUDER THAN YOU THINK,' one of the best music documentaries I have seen in recent years and also one of the most enlightening about Pavement. We discuss how surprisingly open the members of Pavement were to discussing Gary, Gary’s legendary home studio where he played drums and recorded Pavement's early records, the incredible marionettes that were built specifically for the film, what it was like for Brian to be in bands with Gary in the early 80s, the surprise explosion of Pavement’s success, Gary’s love of Prog rock and superstardom, the night Gary served mashed potatoes out of wheelbarrows to audience members, Malkmus’s PTSD from working with Gary, the age differences in the band, the battle between lo-fi and professional goals, Gary’s origin story from NY to CA, guitarist Spiral Stairs finding a box of unknown VHS tapes from their first Pavement tour, Rollerball, the blam-o-meter, Gary’s wife Geri, the trauma of him leaving the band after overstepping his role, Gary’s band Hospital, Beavis and Butthead, Gary’s serious advice column in a Japanese magazine, Gary’s struggle with addiction, the Watery, Domestic EP, Gary’s reaction to the film & the time he disrupted his own film premiere by heckling the documentary.
So let's do collective handstands while the band plays onwards...on this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!
