REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE

My guest this week is comedian, actor & musician Jon Daly (Kroll Show, Fallout, Comedy Bang Bang, Curb Your Enthusiasm), who picked the skin-crawling, jaw-dropping documentary History Of The Eagles.
We also discuss Jon's intersection between music and comedy, how his Red Hot Chili Peppers Super Bowl parody composition fooled the universe into thinking it was real, growing up in Pittsburgh, our uncles' record collections, living inside comedy records, Jon working on his comedy record with musical legends Mary Timony, Colleen Green & Nick Thorburn, the creation of Jon's epic Adult Swim Golf Classic (starring himself and Adam Scott), Linda Ronstadt, Glenn Frey's intense state of mind, are The Eagles the most humorless band of all time, why everyone loves Joe Walsh, Fleetwood Mac having the ultimate revenge on The Eagles, Flying Burrito Brothers & Poco, the hilarious story of UK producer Glyn Jones working with the band, how the band really believed they were rebels and outlaws, the underlying anger running through the band, David Geffen ripping them off, their solo careers and MTV domination, the Dead Kennedys Nazi Punk Fuck Off surprise visit in this doc, the third encore concept, the most disgusting Eagles lyric, and more!

Welcome to an ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults.

What can we say DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM EVER but yes...please listen to my guest, Grammy-nominated archivist Andy Zax, tell you why!!!

(Episode 27 originally aired on Mar 14th 2024)

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
This week, we discuss a music film that my guest, Andy Zax (a Grammy-nominated archivist and the Music Geek on Comedy Central’s ‘Beat The Geeks’), begs us NOT to watch--the 1970 psychedelic romp ‘THE PHYNX.’ We take a deep dive into the film’s history, mystique, and weirdo cast (James Brown, Colonel Sanders, Dick Clark, Richard Pryor), as well as a fascinating look at Zax’s time at Warner Brothers Records & on ‘Beat The Geeks’. We also discuss liner notes legend & the screenwriter of The Phynx Stan Cornyn, the fascinating pain that this movie brings to any viewer, Lieber and Stoller’s soundtrack, Phil Spector parodies, the star power ranking of UltraViolet, a 400 Vox Guitar army, album artwork, Van Dyke Parks, Joni Mitchell, bootleg VHS tapes, fake band album artwork, sense memories from music, promotional items from movies, writing about psychedelia without knowing psychedelics, the difference between the original script and the finished movie (which included scenes with Allen Ginsberg & Timothy Leary), and Chris tries to beat ‘The Geek’!

So PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THIS FILM EVER (or do you?) on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie.

Yes! It took a member of Mission of Burma to finally pick a Beatles film to discuss, three years into the podcast! Totally honored to have the person behind so much of my favorite sonic wizardry, Roger Clark Miller, on Revolutions Per Movie.

We discuss the mysterious lore behind the Horrible Truth About Burma live LP and how it might be the high water mark of their tape manipulator (Martin Swope), the moment when Roger first heard the elements of Burma come together, the journey to get Peter Prescott a microphone so he could also sing in the band, Sproton Layer--Roger’s band he started in 1969 with his brothers when they were barely teenagers, playing Sun Ra records to weed out the drummers who auditioned for Burma, the influences on the chaos inside the beauty of their songs, why Roger thinks Sproton Layer was Burma through a psychedelic lens rather than a post-punk one (and how they interconnected artistically), the hope baked within The Summer Of Love, Roger's first band Factor and why he had to leave them behind, Silver Apples, recording an improv session with your brothers while your parents go square dancing, how a 70 year old modern dancer heard Sproton Layer and decided their music needed to be published in score format, how Roger felt he finally became a good guitar player by the time they recorded Burma's VS, the making of the Vacu Trem and Vacu Fuzz guitar pedals, the Vacuheads, Roger's scientific family and living with monkeys in their backyard, how Roger writes lyrics and Syd Barrett’s influence on him, how frustratingly great Yellow Submarine is (of course The Beatles have a fantastic animated film in them!), how George Harrison's drone pop tracks were often the highlight for us, Roger seeing the film on acid in the theater, The Beatles' animated shows, George's song "Blue Jay Way" and its lyrical influence on Roger’s new record (The Green Man), getting off the Beatles train and the butcher cover, how different The Stones are versus The Beatles in dealing with their legacy and more!

Welcome to an ENCORE PRESENTATION of classic REVOLUTIONS PER MOVIE episodes from the vaults.

This was an early episode of Revolutions Per Movie with one of my favorite documentary filmmakers, David Weissman. Through his hard work and artistry, he made the story of The Cockettes available to future generations of free-spirited weirdos to drink from forever.

(Episode 12 originally aired on Dec. 9th 2023)

ORIGINAL SHOW NOTES:
This week, we talked to David Weissman (the co-director of ‘The Cockettes’ & ‘We Were Here’) about the amazing documentary ‘The Cockettes’—documenting the trailblazing, avant-garde drag & music ensemble from the late 60s. We discussed the origin stories of The Cockettes, John Waters’ passion for the troupe and his involvement with the documentary, the difference in the ways the 60s played out for The East Coast vs. The West Coast, the emerging SF punk scene & brushing your teeth with drugs.

So let down your hair and put on a show with this week's episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
