Gnostic Gnotes (Patreon)

Thank you to everyone who tuned in last night to listen to me unpack 1987 and SISTER. As promised, here are some LINKZ

Vilnius Live

Mostly Daydream Nation set performed in Vilnius on the verge of the New Era

Torino 1987

Really nice set of Sister tunes immediately following the album release. You can tell they’re having fun with the songs, just laying into them. My only problem with this live set is purely personal...just flashing back to shows in Northern Italy where the crowd seemed confused as to what they were doing there and a Kafka by way of Marx brothers incident with a decibel meter and Italian bureaucracy that’s too long to tell here.

The Year Punk Broke

The full movie. There’s an addendum floating around that I haven’t watched yet but very much want to. Maybe we should watch it together. In retrospect, this whole thing is a lot of Guys Being Dudes punctuated by Kim Gordon Being Cool. Pretty accurate portrayal of the time and life on the festival circuit.

PKD Doc

Arena Doc on PKD. Some goofy 90s shit happens but the whole story is too good to suffer from it. If anyone wants any other PKD-like book recommends, let me know!

Very excited for Phase IV. Devojka and I will be making popcorn.
