Music for your Brain - and then some..
I stumbled onto this movie the other morning when it played on the Sundance channel or IFC, can't remember which, and my curiosity was piqued immediately. Its rare enough to find anything interesting on the TV at 7 AM but this was a real treat. The film covers the indie/punk/garage scene of the 1990's, and apparently covers the west and northwest region of the u.s (although i could be wrong about the geography) and the small but highly charged group of musicians that play and record there. The film is really interesting because it illustrates the passion which drives young people to music, to create music and to carry their message to an audience that would never hear it otherwise. Songs for Cassavettes does a good job of providing artists with a platform from which they can express their views and ideas behind being a band and creating music. It is at some times painful to see the dedication of artists or Label entrepreneurs giving up their lives to support what they love, but at the same time you can see the value of what these guys are doing. I think if a film can influence what we listen to because of the opportunity it gives artists, and the respect it shows to its subject, then even if you don't like the music I think you should give it a chance anyway- you might learn something.
