I just realized Lydia looks kinda like my mom now. I mean, it's obvious that she was once a very vibrant, interesting, and beautiful young woman but age has taken its toll. Aesthetically they look similar too, thick hair, round body, etc..

Yeah, it had it's moments (how couldn't it interviewing that bunch), but as a documentary it really was poorly put together. Why on Earth were groups like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs even included? Let alone that one bunch of G&R wannabes?? Even the Black Dice and Gogol Bordelo didn't seem to be there for any concrete reason, though of course the original no wavers don't hate them as much since they aren't just copping somebody elses style from thirty years ago. Rob Your Idols would have been a more appropriate title for most of it.

it was cool untill they went directly from swans to yeah yeah yeahs (ew). i dont know what gives them the balls to just straight up skip out on a full decade like the 90's ever happened, I would have loved segments on God is my Co Pilot or maybe Unsane/Helmet and those bands. The footage is not that great (I mean, they show a clip of "Kissability" to demonstrate Sonic Youth in the BEGINNING of thier career?) though there is one clip of Sonic Youth in noise assault mode which is great, a Teenage Jesus clip with Lydia screaming her brains out which is nothing short of inspiring, anf the Swans clip when they're playing vintage Filth stuff with what's her face contorting her body on a little rug. All and all, decent.

okay yes thats right. they just made the comparisons between now and then. and left out completely whats between them. thats a major flaw. I just saw that documentary like the comparison between now, and its no wave origins. not like a chronographical documentary bout that new york scene from then to now

I sort of like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs. I mean, they're better than Pearl Jam or Hootie and the Blowfish. They just aren't No Wave by any stretch of the imagination. Neither are Liars who I really like a lot, and I'm sure they'd agree. Sonic Youth influenced noise rock, sure, but their sound owes close to nothing to DNA or Mars or the Contortions. The whole premise of this "documentary" is a ridiculous grasp at non-existent straws to tout the directors own favorite bands.

Sonic Youth actually owes a lot to No Wave as a movement and thier early music holds very close to the No Wave aesthetic; uncompromising, non-commerical, artistic, dark, atonal, lack of melody, saying to to struture, etc.. No Wave as a very diverse and small scene, none of those bands sound similar other than use of Volume and Noise, but to say thier sound owes nothing to them is absurd. Lee and Thurston learned experimental guitar technique from Glenn Branca, one of the key No Wave players, and if Thurston had not gotten into No Wave, he might've been in bands like the Coachwhips forever. Without Suicide and the Voioids there would have been no DNA or Teenage Jesus, without Teenage Jesus and DNA, most likely no Sonic Youth or Swans. Sorry folks, nothing comes out of thin air, everything in this world is the cause of some ever present effect. No Wave may have seemed like it came out of nowhere, but Noise and Harmolodics and Atonality being incorprated into Rock N Roll was no new idea.

I totally agree!
maybe this wouldnt be a bad starting point to get into the whole no wave things, cause it throws the wrong light on things, you are absolutely right...

I just finished watching this documentary. It was very enjoyable, but no chance in hell do The Yeah Yeah Yeahs deserve to be mentioned in the same breath as Suicide, or Sonic Youth for that matter. This said, they were trying to focus on the contempary "art-punk"/experimental scene, and they did mention bands I consider to be the logical progression on from the 70s/80s scene, namely Liars and Black Dice.
