From the Patreon Collection #1

4/27/2024
From time to time, I will populate the main feed with a Patreon episode that's at least a year old so casual listeners might get a taste of all the extra scholarship that does occur, but lands nowhere near a published episode: Today we have: Ed Ward, Nick Tosches, Christopher Hitchens, a bad Nine Inch Nails biography, 70s DEVO origins, and lots of guitar modulation effects.

La Bamba! (1987) | Ritchie Valens, Lou Diamond Phillips, Curt Sobel

4/13/2024
I don't know how to warn you I might get a little wibbly-bibbly in the wobbles during this one. Verklempt, if you will. Similar to the way I was on the CROW episodes processing the loss of Brandon Lee all over again. Ritchie was clearly a marvel and a unique talent in ways I didn't understand until now. To be a guitar hero and a hit songwriter and a teen idol at the same time is a hurculean accomplishment for a 17-year-old kid from Pacoima, California in 1958. And I struggled a bit when jumping on the mic right after my research. This goes back to me being a little kid when I saw the film and begged my dad for a cassette tape of the soundtrack, which I treasured. Rock n' Roll, baby. Rock n' roll. It's gonna be a bit of this n' that: https://www.amazon.com/Ritchie-Valens-His-Guitars-Music/dp/1574243802 https://www.salon.com/2021/03/09/lou-diamond-phillips-adverse-prodigal-son-representation/ (Bev's out of print book) https://archive.org/details/ritchievalensfir00mend/page/n5/mode/2up movie scene comparisons Monthly exclusive Rock History bonus feed! https://www.patreon.com/rockfilmrock Choose your preferred method of supporting the show for no money or maybe some money: PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/whatsamatta Shirt designs with defeatist messaging delivered via bright colors and childish graphics: https://www.bonfire.com/store/justtheworstshirtsever/ Subscribe to me on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCV4Up7xGgjioEC07bjwu4mQ Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/justtheworstever/ Send me an email with show suggestions: Justtheworstever@gmail.com Suicide Prevention, Text/Call: 988 https://afsp.org/ National Sexual Assault Hotline 1-800-656-4673 https://www.rainn.org/resources

I shared a link to this youtube video when it came out, but providing audio now for anyone who would like to listen. It's been a couple months, so I don't feel like this cuts into their Youtube traffic at all.

Van Halen #5 | "The Wild Life" (1984)

3/3/2024
Next episode will feature a deep dive on "Better Off Dead" and conclude the Van Halen saga. But until then, please enjoy: Sammy Hagar's arguably sketchy claims about Van Halen's numbers before and after he joined Eddie producing and promoting a band called "Private Life" who obviously did not go on to amazing things (but hey, even if you or I never heard their songs, they still accomplished more than most of us, eh?) Eve Clarke interviewing me about my "Perfect 10" VH tunes of the David Lee Roth era Sammy's tale of meeting Eddie for the first time and joining Van Halen The final installments of my real-time (and space-time) reactions to the Art Linson/Cameron Crowe teen epic that had a lot going for it even if it didn't come out fully cooked - "The Wild Life," starring Nice Guy Eddie, Marty McFly's mom, Vincent Vega's heroin dealer, Clark Griswold's cousin Eddie, and the "Wanna take a bath?" gal from Pink Floyd's Wall film adaptation.

The next episode(s) featuring Floyd, The Dead and Zabriskie Point are mostly done and in final editing stages. I haven't decided whether or not to split it into two releases or keep all 4-5 hrs together yet.

It's time to get cranky! I read internet exchanges with a psycho on Reverb.com and a former child star on Instagram as well as quotes from Steve Albini and a section of the recent Megadeth book featuring Dave Mustaine's racist-ass wife.

"Zabriskie Point" (1970) | Pink Floyd, Grateful Dead

12/20/2023
Phil Lesh is the best music writer. Richard Wright may or may not have been incredibly smart for not legally being a member of Pink Floyd from 1980 onward. I agree with Roger Ebert for once. Bear knows a thing or two about sound reenforcement after going mostly deaf in one ear. EMI helps create the first internet conspiracy theories in rock. The Dead ditch the jug band thing after seeing "Hard Day's Night." Star of the film dies in the middle of bench press. Douglas Adams makes an appearance in the name of "The fundamental interconnectedness of all things" and $5,000 of Floyd's money. Stuff blows up in slow motion. Weir and Garcia have a pointed back-and-forth with their front-of-house feedback. Roger Waters does his best Italian accent and makes sure all the 1970 soundtrack tapes are reused in future song demos. All this and more, in today's educational whirlwind of sound and flerp. Flerp means words, I guess.

"White Zombie" (1932) & WHITE ZOMBIE | Bela Lugosi, Sean Yseult, Rob Zombie, Jay Yuenger, Ivan DePrume

10/19/2023
Damn right, I'm doing my "White Zombie" episode just before Halloween! I never had too much of a plan for when I was going to produce this one, because I knew it would be another massive undertaking as well as another "way more history of the band than the movie" situation. If this is your first episode of the show, WELCOME! I want you to know this is probably the coolest band that ever existed for me. I've been bonkers over them since my best friend Eli let me borrow his cassette of "La Sexorcisto" back in 1992. I genuinely did not understand why everyone in the universe did not love this band as much as I did from 92-98. Here's what we'll cover today: Sean’s early years in ballet and art classes, as well as an amazing summary of her WZ career after the fact (more on her musical influence on the band next episode) The beginning and ending of Sean’s relationship with Rob Rob’s early entertainment influences and work on “Pee-Wee’s Playhouse” Jay’s tales of the NYC recording of La Sexorcisto, how he managed to not starve, and Ivan De Prume getting paid fifty bucks to do a drum roll for Savatage Bela Lugosi’s emigration from Hungary to New Orleans and up northward to Broadway, and westard to Hollywood The horrific violence after WW1 that forced Bela out of his home country - The Red Terror vs The White Terror, 1917-1919 The many themes and tropes of the “White Zombie” film that resonated with American audiences in 1932 A 1990 interview with Rob from a black & white zine Sean’s relationship with Al Jourgensen, and his supposed, alleged, confrontation with Rob that maybe totally might have partially happened A 1994 guitar extravaganza featuring Jay Yuenger and John Christ of Danzig featuring my very professional voice acting And WAY MORE of course, because you can see the running time of this thing is bloated and engorged like any decent Soul Crushing Psycho-Head Blowout in Pig Heaven should be! And this, my friends, is only part ONE. UNO. EIN. UNE. WAHID. UNA. IKA. BIR. Get Sean's book and other stuff here My source for J's narrative, his old blog.

Shoot Episode #4 | Bass Player Book Reviews, Jann Wenner, Lester Bangs, "Wild in the Streets", Guns n' Roses formation

Sometimes reading autobiographies leads to great (or just mild) disappointment and no great use for a normal episode of the show. In today's case, I refuse to be the only person who is disappointed, nay INCONVENIENCED, by the works of Nikki Sixx, Flea, and Dave Ellefson. None of these sources that I sought out will be usable in conjunction with a film, but that doesn't mean I can't squeeze at least a bit of fun out of 'em. Or at least, review them for you so you can decide for yourself how much more you need from those pages.
