A state of mind
Malaysia Star – Mar 1, 2007
The last call at the bar was a heartbreaking one and as the doors were boarded up there went 33 years of underground rock memories associated with some of New York’s most revered icons Patti Smith Television Ramones Blondie Talking Heads alongside thousands of others that set the scene for punk art rock and beyond. To think that the Ramones blitzed some of their best gigs there as the crowd negotiated the gob flying in the air and dog poop on the floors. CBGB war stories make for excellent reading. While Hilly Kristal the founder of the legendary punk institution decides how to transport the stage urinals and bar from the original club in New York to Las Vegas there has been no shortage of CBGB memorabilia… riginally formed as a European classical label and world music specialist in the 1960s Nonesuch has reinvented itself and emerged as a modern-day label with a legacy to be written with each of its new releases ranging from adventurous to quietly vital music with a guarantee of quality. This Nonesuch Collection Vol. 1 sampler features a selection of tracks from a host of five-star albums including music from Wilco (Shot in the Arm) Brian Wilson (Heroes and Villains) Laura Veirs (Galaxies) and a minimalist masterpiece from composer Steve Reich to draw your attention. Nonesuch is more than music and albums; it serves as a risk-taking movement totally at odds with the trends and demographics of the day. The participants on this compilation cannot get more diverse with indie rockers The Gothic Archies singer-songwriters David Bryne Shawn Colvin and kd Lang constituting an eclectic and hip tribe unto themselves roots music legend Ry Cooder country icon Emmylou Harris Senegalese world music star Youssou N’Dour and jazz favourites Pat Metheny and Brad Mehlau add to the depth of the Nonesuch catalogue.

This is neither a straight documentary nor is it a glamorized saga of the punk movement nor is it a singularly focused story of Arthur “Killer” Kane (the bass player from the New York Dolls); it is all of these things. Arthur Kane is a loveable yet tragic character who was used up and left out to dry by the always turbulent world of rock music. This film was produced out of a love of punk rock music. Its purpose is to shed light on one of the most influential punk bands that gave birth to the movement. The director Greg Whiteley had an audience of now aging punk and rock ‘n’ roll music fans in mind when he came up with the idea to create this film. The target audience is but not limited to pre-MTV-generation music fans. Those who would most enjoy the film are the underground music lovers dating from the late ’60s and early ’70s and those who have ever loved ’80s metal and punk rock.
