Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me (Trailer)

'Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me' is a feature-length documentary about legendary Memphis band Big Star. While mainstream success eluded them, Big Star's three albums have become critically lauded touchstones of the rock music canon. A seminal band in the history of alternative music, Big Star has been cited as an influence by artists including REM, The Replacements, Belle & Sebastian, Elliot Smith and Flaming Lips, to name just a few. With never-before-seen footage and photos of the band, in-depth interviews and a rousing musical tribute by the bands they inspired, 'Big Star: Nothing Can Hurt Me' is a story of artistic and musical salvation.

Woody Guthrie Serenades New York City (1943)

In 1943, the modern-day troubadour and national treasure, Woodrow Wilson “Woody” Guthrie, was about to publish his now-classic, semi-fictionalized autobiography, Bound for Glory, in which he wrote vibrantly about his childhood, his love of American folk songs, and his epic travels as a freight car-hopping hobo.
While Bound for Glory would introduce Guthrie to a much broader audience than that which knew him only through his music, he was already something of an underground folk hero to what, in retrospect, feels like the early stirrings of the counterculture of the 1960s. A politically engaged — and occasionally enraged — artist, Guthrie crafted wrenching tales of loss and struggle, as well as paeans to romantic love and national pride, into some of the most enduring American music ever made. (At the time the pictures in this gallery were made, Guthrie had written and performed, but not yet published, the song that more than a few people believe should be the national anthem; namely, the simple, celebratory gem, “This Land Is Your Land.”)
Guthrie, an Oklahoma native, had a strong connection to New York City. It was where he lived at various times in the 1940s, and made his first real recordings; where he wrote “This Land Is Your Land”; where he befriended and collaborated with other politically minded artists like Pete Seeger; and where his devotees — including the likes of Bob Dylan and the great Phil Ochs — later ignited their own Guthrie-inspired folk scene.
On assignment for LIFE in 1943, photographer Eric Schaal followed Guthrie as he gave impromptu performances around New York — in bars, on the stoops of brownstones, on the subway. Engaging, charming, and at ease, the Woody Guthrie in these photos is exactly where he most liked to be: among the people, guitar in hand.

Einstürzende Neubauten - Palast Der Republik (4/11/04)

This performance was filmed on November 4, 2004 at the Palast der Republik in Berlin, the former Parliament building and symbol of the no longer extant DDR (East Germany). Einstürzende Neubauten found the steel skeleton of the ruins of the Palast a congenial location for their architectural-musical fantasies and field studies. Accompanied by a 100 member choir, recruited from the supporters of the www.neubauten.org Internet project, they played in and with the building in their inimitable, almost literally building-collapsing fashion. Contains previously unreleased songs, band commentary and more.
