German party punks John Hillerman (named after the guy who played Higgins on the ‘80s TV classic Magnum P.I.) deliver a well-packaged DVD/CD combo with an extensive booklet.

Punk Machine, The: DVD
By Garrett Barnwell
This DVD would probably appeal to fans of Citizen Fish/Subhumans as well as anyone who is interested in U.K.-based punk. After getting over my obvious disappointment in not getting an inspirational story I rather enjoyed it.

Circle Jerks: My Career as a Jerk: DVD
By Paul J. Comeau
Markey, a friend and fan of the band, has been filming them since the early ‘80s. This documentary traces their history better than anyone else could hope to do, mixing archival footage with interviews from virtually every living person whoever took the stage as a member of the band.

Ecology of Mind, An
A Daughter’s Portrait of Gregory Bateson
By Aphid Peewit
Gregory Bateson: his work, along with his colleagues at the Macy Conferences in the 1940s, figured enormously in the development of cybernetics, which in turn laid the groundwork for the development of Al Gore’s much beloved Internet, which of course, brings things like chubby, sobbing British girls into our lives.

Ear Goggles #6

This is a badass DVD zine featuring live performances from twenty-six punk bands in Canada, along with some other odds and ends.
|
|
SUBJECT #2
$3, , 8 ½” x 5 ½”, photocopied, 24 pgs.
By Steve Hart
Here’s a skinnier zine that has interviews with GG King, 8 Lines, Foreign Objects, and the Mallwalkers with a screen printed cover on thick cardstock.

New Low: DVD
By Matthew Hart
The characters and settings are relatable to the non-ambitious, bike riding adults found in bars and dumpsters across America.
|
|
The Spears:
Live: DVD
By Sean Koepenick
Killer-looking video with superior sound from this Tampa hardcore outfit. Featuring members of Down By Law and Pink Lincolns, so you know that it is full throttle from start to finish.

Never Get out of the Van:
The Story of Mustard Plug: DVD
By Steve Hart
The interviews with members and former members—interspersed with live videos and directed videos—were fun to watch and told an interesting story of a band who, against all odds, skanked their way out of the Midwest.
|
|
Trantastic: DVD
By Andy Conway
This gets my highest recommendation to avoid.
|
|
From the Back of the Room: DVD
By Katie Dunne
The scope is a fantastic sample of women who felt outside of, or indifferent to, the concepts of feminist punk in the ‘90s and women who have specifically and adamantly decided to play music with other women for political or personal reasons.
|
|
William S. Burroughs: A Man Within: DVD
By Aphid Peewit
A Man Within—which derives its title from Burroughs’s cat book A Cat Within—examines the writer’s multifaceted influence on the various postmodern subcultures, but seems to focus most of its attention on his sway within the gay and punk communities.

Fleshtones: Pardon Us for Living but the Graveyard Is Full
DVD
By Sal Lucci
one of the first bands to show their ‘60s garage influences on their punk sleeves.
|
|
Dwarves, The: The Dwarves are Born Again
CD/DVD
By Aphid Peewit
Isn’t a floppy, limp dick antithetical to the Dwarves’ brand of lust-engorged teenage testicle rock?
|

Stitches—Live at Der Wienerschnitzel 2003, The
DVD
By Andy Conway
“Welcome to Der Wienerschnitzel, may I take your order please? “ “Yeah, I want one messy and chaotic live set in the parking lot by snotty California punk rock band, the Stitches. I want the band and the crowd to fling chili dogs and other debris at each other during the entire thing and it should be recorded for posterity on a shaky handheld camcorder. Release it on DVD years later, please.”

Exit Through the Gift Shop
DVD
By Speedway Randy
It’s hard to believe it’s not all a master plan by Banksy.
|
|
Trash Humpers + Enter the Void
DVDs
By Speedway Randy
Probably too straight-forward and narrative for a pure avant-garde crowd but drug lovers and reincarnationists will be ecstatic throughout.

Widower, The
DVD
By Billups Allen
As he begins to lose his marbles, he drags the corpse around town in an attempt to relive the glory years of his marriage.
|
|
Loren Cass
DVD
By Aphid Peewit
This film, with its blood-trickle slow pace, leaves all sorts of open, unframed psychological space for the viewer to negotiate. That’s both the beauty and potential flaw of Loren Cass.

Colin
DVD
By Garrett Barnwell
You’d have to have been hibernating in a coffin to have not recognized the overwhelming popularity of the vampire movie over the last few years.
