This week, we talk to journalist and author KATHERINE YESKE TAYLOR (She’s A Badass: Women In Rock Shaping Feminism) about the much-requested film PURPLE RAIN!!! We get to discuss Katherine’s start at interviewing bands at age 16 and fighting against her highschool newspaper to do so, how she put her book together (interviewing Suzie Quatro to Lydia Lunch to Death Valley Girls), seeing Purple Rain in a movie theater vs. seeing it at home on VHS, how the First Avenue (the lengendary music club in Minneapolis) is such a strong character in the film, the cultural saturation of Prince at this time, the genesis of the film getting made, Prince’s complete artistic control & how he did not talk to the press for over 2 years after the film came out, Prince’s un-finished first film The Second Coming with director Chuck Statler (director of Devo, Elvis Costello and The Time videos), jamming a movie into a 3 1/3 minute music video during the early 80s, Morris Day’s film stealing performance and his post-Purple Rain career, the acting stylings of Prince and his band, the confusing plot point of the bands playing only one song at a time at the club in this movie, the competitive nature of bands, the managment of the club telling Prince not bring his personal shit up onto the stage (when that’s all he does!), seeing performers have a meltdown on stage, how much of the movie’s storyline doesn’t work for modern audiences, the difference between the sexuality of this film vs. his albums, how Prince was also a champion for women in music when men weren’t, Wendy & Lisa, When Doves Cry, the final freeze frame of the film & the guitar climax that leading up to it, Whitesnake, how Prince followed up Purple Rain with some of his most esoteric work to date & how at the age of twenty-six Prince already knew that he did not want to do Purple Rain 2!
So let’s whip our heads quickly towards the camera, and then let’s go crazy on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!

We discuss the stress of not letting Kim Deal of The Breeders know that Frank Black was also appearing on the record, the unknown magic and chance in picking subjects for documentaries, the experience of having Jonathan Richman singing only to you, and Yoko Ono being asked to be slapped on the back while recording her tracks.

This week, we celebrate Revolutions Per Movie’s 1 year anniversary with filmmaker and actor OWEN KLINE (A24’s Funny Pages), who chose one of the most anticipated music films to discuss on the podcast, THE WHO’S TOMMY.
We discuss the chicken/egg of the movie vs. the lp, the baked bean mythology, Ken Russell’s pre-filmmaking history from being a ballet dancer to dodging the war, Russell’s early BBC Composer films, Richard Lester and Lindsay Anderson, Robert Crumb and Fantagraphics Books, being a cultural dinosaur, the concept of selling out, the precision of the film that betrays its midnight movie status, Who’s Next, how the Tommy LP kept The Who from breaking up, the ARP synth, the use of repetition in both the LP and the movie, transgressive music, how and why Townshend kept changing the shape of the story of Tommy, the aborted projects LIFEHOUSE & THE ANGELS that used elements to make the film Tommy, could we pick up the concept album plot before seeing the movie (and even after seeing it!), Ann-Margret’s Oscar-nominated performance, the amount of sweat that appears on actors in the film, the surprising debut acting turn of Roger Daltrey, the UK white boy blues movement, Russell’s choice of having the actor sing, including Jack Nicholson’s strange turn, Keith Moon’s approach to Uncle Ernie, Chris’s concept double album Colonel Jeffrey Pumpernickel, Tina Turner’s incredible performance as the acid queen and how Mick Jagger was in talks to do the role instead, does Elton John and Tina turner steal the film, the strange final 1/3 of the film, Dauhgltrey’s perfect cartwheels, acting through song and so much more!
We are also joined by special guest Barry Winch, who starred in TOMMY as ‘Young Tommy’!!! He illuminates us both about being a child on the set of the strange film, what it was like working with Ken Russell, Ann-Margret & Oliver Reed, how they got honest performances out of him as a child actor, how The Who protested going to the premiere unless he was invited (since he was underage), how Ken Russell himself accidentally cast him, his family’s acting history, playing hide and seek with Oliver Reed, what it felt like being on the set of that movie, what the Tommy props from the film have been auctioned at, why he wasn’t allowed to wander around the set, his favorite memories and some moments of being afraid as well.
All this and more as we celebrate the one year anniversary of REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE!!!

This week, we talk to legendary actor, musician, performance artist, and writer ANN MAGNUSON (Bongwater, The Hunger, Making Mr. Right, Cabin Boy, Pyramid Club, Club 57) about the influential cinema jazz documentary Jazz On A Summer’s Day. We discuss the performances in the film (including Thelonious Monk, Anita O’ Day, Chico Hamilton, Eric Dolphy to name a few performers), what it was like for Ann to inhabit Anita O’Day for the audio book of her autobiography, first impressions of Lou Reed’s Metal Machine Music, Ann’s programing at the legendary NYC Club 57, Ann’s new song ’Ghost Cat’ with producer Don Dixon, her early life in West Virginia, D.I.Y. & Ann’s SurRURALism techniques, success in the underground being a dirty word, the return of Vulcan Death Grip, being a professional walk-a-thoner, photographer & filmmaker Bert Stern, how the film brings a visceral sense of childhood for Ann, how Stern made the whole project happen with his own equipment and financing, Ann’s parents and the dry Jazz club scene in West Virginia, filming Making Mr. Right and the new wave sensibility of the 80s, how Monk’s performance is presented in the film, Chris scats the Anita O’ Day finale of ‘Tea For Two’ from his memory of repeated listening of the film at his video store, the white privilege throughout in the film, midnight Mahalia Jackson performances, how protest music is needed now more than ever and Ann reads from Anita O’day’s memoir about the performance that was filmed for this movie and how it changed O’Days life.

This week, we talk to comedian/actor Andy Kindler (Bob's Burgers, Late Night w/ David Letterman, Maron, Everybody Loves Raymond) & Mike Lisk (executive producer of The Best Show w/ Tom Scharpling and host of Egg Foo What?!) about a documentary whose subject matter is dear to both of their hearts (yet full of confusion and mystery for host Chris Slusarenko), The Grateful Dead documentary series, LONG STRANGE TRIP. These two have a history with each other, and out of the gate, an old Zappa argument and apology appear out of nowhere, and then it’s off to the races. We discussed whether Bob Weir is essential to the band, the stage banter of the Grateful Dead, Andy’s 70s rock band TransFusion, their viewpoints on Pigpen—the original rapper, which of the two drummers had the goods, Mountain Dew vs. Morning Dew, Andy’s LSD induced concert going-ons and his naked prog-rock band stories, Mike’s experience of almost being trampled at a Grateful Dead concert, pocket pool advice from the band, Tom Scharpling, Robert Hunter’s lyrics, Donna & Keith, Mike meeting Garcia as a teenager, sneaking drugs into concerts, digitally erasing crowd nudity from concert footage, why they think they are the quintessential American band, The Velvet Underground and the dissonance of the Grateful Dead, Disco Dead, Marvin Gaye, can you be a cynic and give yourself over to the band, losing punk rock friends to the Dead, Altamont, tape trading, Europe ’72, the sadness in the Jerry Garcia story, Hot Tuna, The Warlocks, Dead & Co., how the documentary is critical of a portion of their fan base, the Dead telling their fans to stop being assholes, Mickey Finn’s father ripping the band off, the Phil Zone and Mike gives us a crash course on the essential shows and recordings to listen to.
So let’s time your trip perfectly on this very funny yet heartfelt episode of Revolutions Per Movie.
