Once Upon a Time in New York (BBC 2004)
The Birth of Hip Hop, Disco and Punk" - How the squalid streets of '70s New York gave birth to music that would go on to conquer the world - punk, disco and hip hop.
In the 1970s the Big Apple was rotten to the core, yet out of the grime, grit and low rent space emerged new music unlike anything that had gone before.
Inspired by the Velvet Underground, a new wave of 'punk' rock emerged in lower Manhattan including The New York Dolls, The Ramones and the Patti Smith Group. Meanwhile, downtown loft parties held by gay New Yorkers heralded the birth of disco, which would eventually spawn the ultimate club for the privileged few: Studio 54. The swanky mid-town discos were out of bounds to black New York so in the Bronx DJs such as Kool Herc, Grandmaster Flash and Afrika Bambaataa created their own parties, heralding the birth of hip hop.
With David Johansen, Patti Smith, John Cale, Richard Hell, Grandmaster Flash, Afrika Bambaataa, Kool Herc, Nile Rodgers, Chuck D, Tommy Ramone, Chris Stein, Fab 5. Freddy, Lenny Kaye, Tina Weymouth, Chris Frantz, Syl Sylvain, Nicky Siano, David Mancuso, DJ AJ, David Depino, Jayne County, Leee Childers, Nelson George, Victor Bokris and Vince Aletti.

LISTEN
Now this takes me back. Was a great double bill. Mr. S Daly (ex Orange Juice and now of Vanity Fair) gave me a copy of this tape when he worked at Listen Records but I lost it years ago and have only ever seen a very low bit rate stream here. But by copying the link location and then changing the .wma to .mp3 lo and behold a much better quality stream (VBR) turns up. To download just 'save page as' even if the page seems to be taking a long time to load. BTW the phrase 'Television a band to watch' was printed on round, silver promo stickers at the time of Marquee Moon's release.
Heavy Metal Junior: A Portrait Of Pre-Teen Rebellion
Hatred are a heavy metal band from Scotland. And they’re all under 14 years old.
This hilarious film follows the band as they prepare for their first ever live performance.In the weeks before their show, their bassist quits, and they have to write some original songs to perform.
One of the best parts of the film was watching their manager (the drummer’s father) show them some showbiz moves of his own.
Along the way, we get some insight into band dynamics that wouldn’t seem out of place in a film like This Is Spinal Tap, except with parents as stand-ins for managers and girlfriends

The problem with the sick, obsessive superpower revealed to us by Edward Snowden is that it cannot bring itself to utter the one line it absolutely must utter before it can move on: “My name is America and I’m a dataholic.” For American spies, Big Data is like crack cocaine: just a few doses – and you can forget about mending your way and kicking the habit. Yes, there’s an initial illusion of grandeur and narcissistic omnipotence – just look at us, we could prevent another 9/11! – but a clearer, unmediated brain would surely notice that one’s judgment has been severely impaired. Prevent another 9/11? When two kids with extensive presence on social media can blow up a marathon in Boston? Really? All this data, all this sacrifice– and for what..?
