Hello everyone…we recorded a special episode of Coffee With Krummenacher about Victor’s times and friendship with Mojo Nixon.  We discuss what it was like being on the road when Mojo was opening for Victor's band Camper Van Beethoven, making split flexi-discs and doing inspired photo shoots together, Mojo and Camper playing The Filmmore together, taking mushrooms and long nights with the man, piss-filled cereal bowls, Mojo’s sweet shamanistic outlook on life, living an authentic life, Mojo’s Camper Van Beethoven cover version, and how Mojo was going to be on the Revolutions Per Movie podcast in a few weeks to talk about a Replacements documentary that he saw in his head that didn’t exist (yet) and the excited email he sent me about his ideas.  It’s a wild and beautiful tribute to a singular, weirdo force that is no longer with us.Normally, ‘Coffee With Krummenacher’ is just one of the exclusive bonus shows we have over at the Revolutions Per Movie Patreon (a podcast where my guests talk about their favorite music documentaries or music narrative films), but I thought we should make this episode available to everyone.  If you’ve enjoyed what you’ve heard, please consider supporting what we do over at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie.  Thank you.MOJO NIXON:https://mojomanifestomovie.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 talk to Gary Jarman of the UK band The Cribs, who chose a film so close to his (and his brother’s) heart, NIRVANA LIVE! TONIGHT! SOLD OUT!  We discussed the massive influence this VHS tape had on the Jarman family and their future in rock, from their decision not to play encores to their affinity for putting noise into their melodies. We also discuss what it was like to come from such a small town where they had never seen anything on a punk level before, the concept of selling out, writing music or lyrics first, saving up stationary store coupons to buy Nirvana cassettes, Britpop, opening for Nirvana the day their album went gold, sabotaging your own live show, dealing with tabloids and the British music press, fantasizing about destroying the Top Of The Pops studio, not playing encores & the endless search for “the next Nirvana.”So come dive into the drum set on this episode of Revolutions Per Movie!GARY JARMAN:cribs.comNew episodes of Revolutions Per Movies are released every Thursday, and if you like the show, please subscribe, rate, and review it on your favorite podcast app.The show is also a completely independent affair, so the best way to support the show is through our Patreon at patreon.com/revolutionspermovie, where you can get weekly bonus episodes and exclusive goods sent to you just for joining.patreon.com/revolutionspermovie@revolutionspermvoieX, BlueSky: @revpermovieTheme by Eyelids 'My Caved In Mind'www.musicofeyelids.bandcamp.comArtwork by Jeff T.
