36 Crazyfists – "Underneath A Northern Sky" [DVD Review]

Today, with four successful albums under their belt and a vast number of tours, 36 Crazyfists decided it was time to release their first DVD. Underneath A Northern Sky, a very appropriately named release, focuses beautiful Alaskan imagery. Music aside, this DVD is a testament to the band's love of their homeland and fans.

Billy Idol - "In Super Overdrive Live" [DVD Review]
I do not believe there has been anyone more immediately recognizable on the pop/punk rock scene than Billy Idol. His enigmatic persona and instantly familiar vocal delivery ruled the airwaves during the Eighties and early Nineties spawning numerous radio and video hits. I pretty much grew up listening to him and it was with great pleasure that I sat back, cracked a beer and watched this live DVD.

100 Films for 100 Rainy Days: Breathless (À bout de soufflé) (#056)
I have to admit—I don’t really “get” Jean-Luc Godard. I’ve seen most of his seminal work and read quite a bit of film theory, but plunk me down in front of Pierrot le fou or Une femme est une femme and my eyes will glaze over as I am slowly assaulted by Godard’s political diatribes against Western culture, until they roll back in my head and I pass out dreaming of student revolts and communist manifestos.

Many of the selections on this list will...

Clutch - "Full Fathom Five: Video Field Recordings 2007-2008" [DVD Review]
Prejudice against a human is immoral and illegal, prejudice against DVDs however is merely frowned upon. My initial impression of this DVD, prior to putting the disc into my crap DVD player was something along the lines of “The artwork is really, really cool, but a concert DVD? This is going to be incredibly boring!”
