Watch the Awesome No-Wave Documentary "Kill Your Idols" For Free Online!
For a limited time (one week only), Pitchfork is hosting the excellent 2006 S.A. Crary documentary Kill Your Idols, which tells the story of the infamous late-70s musical movement known as "No-Wave." Those who helped to create the short, yet highly influential scene such as Lydia Lunch of Teenage Jesus and the Jerks, Glenn Branca of Theoretical Girls and Arto Lindsey of DNA (grab some DNA mp3s here!) reflect on the context and reasoning behind the complex music. The film also interviews seminal musicians who embody the spirit of the movement like Thurston Moore and looks toward the future with profiles of latter-day purveyors like the Liars. Highly recommended!
Watch the full doc for free now on Pitchfork.tv. (expired, but you should buy the DVD!)
You can purchase it on Amazon as well. Worth it!
