07/09/2019 great cross section of a wonderful time for independent music, I.P.U. forever! See more 08/28/2013 Documentário sobre a K Records e os Beat Happening é interessante e rico em filmagens de arquivo (excelente vídeo de Fugazi ao vivo), mas torna-se aborrecido à medida que se enterra na armadilha da bajulação mútua dos intervenientes, e a última meia-hora tenta a ferros provar que os Mecca Normal eram o melhor duo art rock do mundo. O mundo talvez fosse apenas Olympia. See more 12/21/2008 Tons of rad footage, but it's a really poorly made documentary that's shoddily edited together and moves at the pace of a slug. BUT, there are tons of rad interviews and stories that make it worth watching for any K kid. See more 08/23/2008 Heather Rose Dominic's documentary of Calvin Johnson and K Records in Olympia, Washington is not a slick production. Then again, the scene she documents is neither slick nor intended for prime time. I found myself fondly recalling my own time at Evergreen State in the late 80s and early 90s. I remember working in a coop warehouse during the summer before school started and hearing about the Calvinists and the music scene from the Beat Happening bass player. These were a group of people who were practicing DIY before the term had been invented, taking punk in new directions and creating intimate, personal performances that are memorable. See more 06/15/2008 Awesome documentary about K Records, one of the best, most influential, indie record labels ever See more 05/19/2008 Happy memories of 1991, IPU 7" singles, Calvin's insane dancing and the hair and clothing styles I tried to unsuccessfully emulate. Some great music in there too! See more Read all reviews
