[DVD Review] Blank City

BLANK CITY (directed by Celine Danhier) is a documentary snapshot of the late 70′s post-punk, underground film and music scene out of New York City. Monikered as “No Wave” – it was an antithesis of the New Wave movement that followed immediately after – low tech and completely independent.  While most readers, like myself, were not around to appreciate this era, BLANK WAVE gives you all you’ll need to know about it from an inside-out point of view.

Music DVD Review: The Haunted ‘Road Kill’

NOTE: For this review, I’m only reviewing the DVD of The Haunted’s Road Kill, which features a live performance in Amsterdam, a biography of The Haunted whilst out on the road and touring and several official music videos. I am not touching the audio CD that came along with the DVD, even though it has more live tracks as well as some bonus, unreleased studio tracks. I’ll say this though: If the audio on the CD is anything like the audio of the live concert, you have nothing to worry about. 
I’d like to take a quick second to acknowledge that this is the first review I’ve done with a friend of mine, Bill, watching and giving his input. He and I started a blog about six months ago and, though it has fallen into disuse, he plans on starting it up again. So, keep an eye out there as I’ll be doing some extra little bits here and there for the blog for stuff that you wouldn’t see me do here. But on to the review.
