“...totally cheerless New York noise that i thoroughly enjoyed...Definitely not a party record.”

Consumer Revolt was most definitely not on Cuneiform Records, which still exists and is highly regarded. Consumer Revolt was released on Circuit Records, which was most definitely not highly regarded (except for the music) and did not exist that much longer after releasing this record. From discogs: “Short-lived music label from New York, active from late 80s until early 90s. Their intentions were to gather the most prominent underground groups from NY, like Cop Shoot Cop, Unsane etc but things didn't work out for them. Sean from Surgery used to work for them as well.”

(Hopefully by this point you’ve finished 'Count Me In', the kind of person who isn’t bothered by spoilers, or are just deciding if you still want to keep watching.)

I wish I had at least 5 of me. Probably at least two of my clones would be looking at ways I could be a better drummer. But I'm betting those two would likely end up looking at possible collaborations.
Because there is nothing like finding musicians who complement you as a player. In a way I am still hoping I'd be able to find that. Love is sometimes described as 'friendship set on fire'. Well...I'm going to agree with that. There's nothing like being able to perform with people you like. Connect with them by creating something new or reworking something old.
When I saw that little image of 'Count Me In', my bones instantly had that reaction. I had the feeling that (as soon as I realised what that image represented and what I was possibly going to watch) I wanted to walk away. Like someone was going to invade my personal space. Like
One of the questions I'm not a big fan of is when someone comes up to me after a gig asking: "So, how long have you been playing?"
I know it's more just opening up and making connection with me...but...sometimes I'd like to scream: "Well! Shouldn't my playing speak for itself? If you think I just started two years ago...then sure! That is my answer!"
But that's not nice. I also wouldn't want someone who I wanted to reach out to....to speak to me that way. I've since learned to make it about the person asking. Trying to dig in why he wants to ask me that question. Is he wanting to get me to consider stepping in his shoes if he can't make a gig? Am I meeting my future husband for the first time?
That's how personal this all is to me. I couldn't even get to the first 10 minutes without needing to take a moment. Well...mostly the moment was to write this so I could pass on my thoughts to you...
...but it reminded me once again about a longtime friend who's a writer. Early on in her writing journey she was asked by her mentor to write about an important person in her life. When the time came to read her essay...I felt something similar...it's this rawness...but maybe it's my emotion rising up to the surface. Nothing makes that happen when it's something extremely person. In that case it was someone who knew me very well and was holding up a mirror against me.
I unfortunately hadn't really gotten to hear the whole thing, or even have a copy of the essay. Yes, I probably should ask if it would be possible to read it...because clearly there is some unfinished business there. Like one of those exercises when they ask you to stare at yourself at the mirror for 5 minutes straight, because that facilitates more self-love...and self-acceptance.
I think that's more the kind of answer you'd get if you dig in me describing myself as a drummer who plays guitar and sometimes sings.

Highlight:

My verdict of the film: 7/10 (I have no idea what kind of drumming documentary I would give a 10...or even an 8....)
Link to the timestamp commentary: Maybe? (I'm still pondering on how to approach that)
A Formal Review of the film: None (You can request sure! But I feel like I'm going to have to go through some serious soul-searching if I ever was going to write one.)
My Thoughts about the creation and development of the documentary: None (Additional reading material would be queued up if I was given enough nudges.)
More of my comments about the film: None (Though you are certainly welcome to DM me ideas!)
Instagram Entries: TBA? (This would definitely be a yes...)

When it comes to the great rock and pop bands in the world we always compliment the singers as well as the guitartists. Every song needs rhythm and the one person in the band that will get you rhythm is the drummer. Netflix have released the quintessential music documentary celebrating the world of drumming, Count Me In.
Mark Lo‘s film takes viewers on a journey with some of the greatest, most…
刚刚从台北归来的Jeremy（胡天佑）推荐给我们一则vimeo视频，打开一看原来是来自台湾的滑手柯家恩和他的台北好友们在年初发布的一段台北street skateing clips, 拍摄的很随意，完全的homies video风格，其中也有一些亮点tricks，我们通过微信联系到了Kyle Ke (柯家恩)，以下是他给我们的带来的基本介绍：
平時我們幾個一起去滑板，便用Gopro把它記錄下來，其實也沒有太多的想法去完成這個video,就只是大家喜歡滑板和street skating，便互相拍攝把自己的動作給記錄下來然後剪接出來。這叫2K15 Taipei因為剛好2015年開始，然後我們幾個都來自台北比較年輕的skater，所以就突然亂取了這個名字。哈哈哈...原本我們只打算在個人的FaceBook上發佈，前幾天剛好NikeSB team(China)來台灣拍攝，看Video選spot的時候剛好Boss和Jeremy看了.......這片黑白的感覺和氣氛都滿不錯，就幫忙我們把它交給MIC發佈，Thanks Boss and Jeremy ！
