Radio interview on KUOW for the band and their documentary film that was released in 2002. Gigantic: A Tale Of Two Johns Images found online circa 2000 to roughly 2008 with some scans and pictures by wolfie180g (I was in the documentary along with my friends and fellow TMBG fans. Flew in from Iowa to NYC for it. Best trip ever :D )

finally! After working on this video for many hours I can share it with y'all! I recorded this in 2002 from the radio show on KUOW.

"Majority Rules"

Politically-minded viewers will love this easily accessible, deep dive into election reform and ranked choice voting.

As Americans, we live in a country where our democracy is threatened and division is higher than ever. Even worse, during election time, many of us feel like we must “hold our nose” and vote along party lines although we aren’t keen on the candidate who is running for office. The complicated ideas around election reform are explored in director AJ Schnack’s “Majority Rules,” an engaging…

Kurt Cobain About a Son  2006

Kurt Cobain About a Son

You want a part of me? Well, I’m not selling cheap No, I’m not selling cheap* Between December 1992 and March 1993, the music journalist Michael Azerrad interviewed Kurt Cobain for his book Come As You Are: The Story of Nirvana, published by Doubleday. Almost all the 25 hours of audio taped interviews took place between midnight and dawn at Kurt´s house in Seattle, Washington. One year after the last of these interviews, Kurt committed suicide. Years later, Azerrad meets the director AJ Schnack and the idea of the movie comes in. Shot in the three cities where Kurt lived, Aberdeen, Olympia and Seattle, and not featuring any Nirvana song or image of him until the very end, Kurt Cobain About a Son is something between a documentary and an (auto)biography where we see an honest (self)portrait of Kurt. At least, as honest as it can be. The use of random images and other music artists works when trying to give importance to what Kurt is saying, when trying to show the person instead of the icon. Gus Van Sant´s Last Days, that focus on the icon (Kurt´s sun glasses, wearing a dress, etc) and use the silence to try to get into Kurt´s mind/world, works, but as a portrait of the character as we know it. Childhood, father´s absence, adolescence, art, musical identity, depression, fame, life. It is an interesting view on the construction of a real character and on trying to discover the real person. Kurt wanted to be famous, but didn´t expect to become a “fucking cartoon character”. *Celebrity Skin, by Hole. In the movie Kurt talks a lot about fame and its consequences, about the pressure over him and Courtney Love.
