Ciao, in 1989 i was a punk, personally i was more of a techno punk, i was 20 years old in wolfsburg in germany, we had some problems with this fucking nazi skinheads, but to remember of this is great, to be a punk is not like vogue and clothes as a style, this is in our heart Like the Rock'n'Roll Generation and later the Beatnicks and the Hippies in the late 1960's i love this, and with 55 i am a Techno-Punk anyway, so Nazis fuck off..

Sorry, you missed badly with Dogs in Space, it literally defined the Melbourne punk scene featuring a host of Aussie music, art and fashion legends , not least of whom was the great Ollie Olsen who sadly passed away this weekend. Australians who lived through this era understand the cultural importance of this film.

Great idea for a list and great list, too. I enjoyed Smithereens and loved Repo Man (many times). Haven’t seen any of the others.

Oh Darren, so sorry. No small thing to Talk about and maybe It counts more than you know. Thank you

The Almighty Algorithm dropped me here. Good selection of movies, even a coulple of new ones! And yeah Ramones did re-record all those "live" songs in R'n'R Highschool for the film.

There was a recent British movie, don't remember the title, but it was about a young kid from a broken family who had to try to look after his younger sister and earn some money driving his dad's taxi, and befriended a posh girl who lived a second life as a young punk fan. It was quite a sweet film really. The kid kept running into a fictional Joe Strummer, who became a kind of mentor. Ultimately a feel good film set in punk era London.

Suburbia is a great movie. Starts off as cheesy shite and just as you've seen enough and are about to switch it off it flips and becomes something completely different.

Weakness

Put me in tears in the best way. I love the album and easily my favorite of 2013 too and I loved what you shared.

Loved your tribute. He obviously gave you a great gift by fostering your love of music. I think music is one of the most powerful creations of humanity and it's ability to inspire emotions is limitless. Cheers Darren and sorry you lost someone so important to you.

Bruce McDonald's Roadkill (1989) and Hard Core Logo (1996) deserve to be considered for the list.

Rude Boy

Darren, I’m very sorry for your loss. A similar horror hit my and mine a year ago. Your tribute is lovely as well as sad. Best to all close

🤘🤘

Darren sorry about yr uncle friend. Thanks for sharing and being vulnerable and geeking out with us friend

I never really listened to Wire much. I should. I played Ramada Inn in the car the other day, just to see if I’d missed anything with your “dad rock” pick from last week. Very quickly my wife and I both agreed: this is very good. A slice of Neil that I was wrong to skip. I do have trouble hearing it without singing “The River” by Sir Bruce. Really sorry to hear about how painful 2013 was for you and your family.

No Downtown 81? No Made in USA?

No Rude Boy? 🤔

I thought I had a crummy 2013, but it was nothing compared to this. Your bravery in discussing it publicly is commendable. I seem to recall that you mentioned that this was going to be a tough year for you in a previous conversation, and I now see why. Lovely tribute, though. As for music... I literally found nothing in the 2013 release list that I enjoyed extensively while new (passive listens to Neko and Arcade Fire), and nothing I've since discovered..... Unti now. As we've talked about prior, my knowledge of Wire pre-LOL was basically side one of Pink Flag, but I'm getting very into them from your influence (Send was an excellent recommendation), so I am excited to spin this.

Gutted by the end of this one. Sorry for your loss. This was a brave tribute.

Hey Darren, so brave sharing your fond memories of your uncle and his sad passing 🙏 A great ode you gave to him. Admirable mate. Take care. Cheers. 💡

Hi Darren! That was the year my dad died so I can totally understand why you'd rather not go there. There seemed to be more new music that connected with me in 2013 than in the previous few years though. Loud Like Love by Placebo, The Raven That Refused To Sing by Steven Wilson, and The Argument by Grant Hart came close but my favourite is Sunbather by Deafhaven. It's a fantastic blend of extreme metal, shoegaze and post rock.

What a terrible loss. Two wonderful people but under very different circumstances. Very sorry. Sounds like your uncle hid his dark thoughts possibly all too well. Which is apparently not uncommon but must be tough to come to grips with, as you don't get the chance to talk about that stuff and offer comfort or perhaps get a little better understanding. I dunno man... seems brutally hard though. Well... ehm, anyway: Sunbather by Deafheaven, Modern Vampires of the City by Vampire Weekend and the return of Crime and the City Solution with American Twilight (yes!) were some musical highlights for me. The last one I didn't actually hear until about 7 years later though (cheat!). Still, it's a very cool record that doesn't disappoint or tarnish their legacy. Like the mbv record. David Eugene Edwards (ex 16 HP) participating was a nice bonus for me. Still on the fence about the Knife's Shaking the Habitual but it is very interesting. Some of the time at least. Man, I really should check out post 2000 Wire... I did listen to their first "comeback" (late 80s - early 90s) stuff, though not extensively. But so the band never stopped being great. I believe it!

A heartfelt episode and a fitting tribute to your Uncle. I really must get round to trying the Wire albums you have covered. 2013 was a livelier year music wise for me than 2012. Honourable mentions go to: Trouble will find me (The National); AM (Arctic Monkeys); Holy Fire (Foals); If you wait (London Grammar); Weight of your love (Editors); Inform-Educate-Entertain (Public Service Broadcasting); Pale Green Ghosts (John Grant). Of those PSB came closest to winning, but I already have them marked for 2016. Instead I chose a debut album by a band that only lasted 2 albums. Coincidentally an album that bleeds raw emotion and pain, but of the heart . If you leave, by Daughter

Deafheaven's 'Sunbather' gets a look in but around this time I'd found the magnificence of Neko Case's 'Blacklisted' so was working my way through her stuff. 'The Worse Things Get, the Harder I Fight...' for me, the first of her albums I bought in real time. Glad you can still remember your uncle for all the good things he brought to you amongst all the other stuff Darren

Oh Darren, I'm sure this video was so very hard to make. Your uncle sounds like he was a great guy, I'm so sorry that you lost him, especially in the way that it happened. But the memories remain, and like the love of music he instilled in you, is a precious thing. He'd be proud of you right now. Great choice for the album, that and mbv were the musical highlights of my 2013 too.

A really interesting list impressively offered up. It’s done its job. Makes me want to track some of those down. Unique and enjoyable presenting style. Keep up the great work

No "Rude Boy"...The Clash movie...astoundingly negligent

Aww, sorry to hear that. I totally get what you're on about - I too link music to times and periods. I can tell you when and what I was doing by music. I associate The Beach Boys God Only Knows with my grandfather, who I idolised. Still do. Rufus Wainwright with my aunt, etc. Both sadly long gone. Take it easy.

Aw, mate… I was braced for… something, and that was tough. Lots of love and light to you and yours. Your uncle sounds like a real one.

I'm very sorry to hear about your uncle. It's never easy to live with that kind of loss, especially in those circumstances. In a way, I think he'd be proud to have you bring his legacy to people he never met nor got the chance to, however big or small of an audience you've cultivated

would "Liquid Sky" count as a punk movie? "Times Square" (with Tim Curry). otherwise, great list!! gotta find "...The Fabulous Stains!"

Great list! Got yourself a new subscriber! You're so spot on about Suburbia; that mosh pit scene with the girl in the pink dress has Corman written all over it. A great film otherwise though, it'd be great if Spheeris someday went back to her roots.

Really brilliant video. Great to see that its blown up too. I consider myself a bit of a pop culture junky...but I was not aware of a few of these of these. I cant think of anything you've missed.

Have you seen "Moxie"?

I have five of these ("Rock 'n' Roll High School," "Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains," "Smithereens," "Repo Man," "The Return of the Living Dead") and have seen "Jubilee" and "Wild Zero." Would love to see or even own the others. Although this list didn't cover documentaries or concert films, I wouldn't mind seeing a separate list for those. I would hope it would include such films as "Urgh! A Music War," "X - The Unheard Music," and probably a double feature tie for "The Great Rock 'n' Roll Swindle" / "The Filth and the Fury."

Was wondering if you considered the movies Desperate Teenage Lovedolls or Lovedolls Superstar?

The Internet Archive got hacked a couple weeks ago, last I knew they still had it down. Most alarming they removed 1984. I'm going to assume of some fans of the West. Until tgen You can find a lot if these movies on Tubi, FreeVee, Plex .. and a little patience and creativity you often can find films on here. Reddit also is a good resource. Also, by the time you got to Green Room I knew that besides knowledge of movies, you know your music . Wise warnjng to steer clear of the fascist side of punk. I'm likely your age, thiugh Uacross the pond abd just this past weekend a friend spotted a couple ic those kosers putting up flyers. The friend followed them, ripping each down. They were completely oblivious, eventually they hopped in their car and took off. Poor guys, we may be a bit slower and achy, but we still have tools to fight fascism. I thank the punks who came before me and those of my era to give me a lifelong home of sorts. It was how I met my first love made friends in new city, then college, snd all these years later my extended network of friends and acquaintances. I also learned valuable tools , like my ability to navigate a crowd and to spot a nazi, even off duty ones and ones who are in rhe government. HCxNC

What about the rock n roll swindle........ No....ok

"Hard Core Logo" is my favorite punk film. If you haven't seen it, I totally recommend it. It's a mockumentary, but it's played straight and it works so well.

what about what we do is secret?

I've only seen a couple of these films. The only one I found highly enjoyable was 'Repo Man' (also Alex Cox's 'Highway Patrolman'). I'm not a fan of 'empowerment' or 'feel good' films and have generally stopped watching most films since 2010.

Fun list. Couple ones I’ve been aware of remotely but haven’t tracked down; a couple new to me. I’m guessing I’m roughly the same age as you so I saw a few of these in the theater, a bunch on cable/vhs. But Repo Man, I was in Boston when it was one of like 3 cities in the US that it opened in and I went in knowing nothing about it. I went back 3 times, dragging new friends each time. Also, …Fabulous Stains isn’t hard to find these days. It’s been released on BuRay and a good print shows up on streaming services. Great movie.

You missed the movie from 87 DUDES.

One of my favorites growing up was a movie called Wassup Rcokers. I dont hear about it a lot but its a killer movie for punks and skaters.

The Running Kind. it follows a dude who supposed to be a lawyer but instead takes off to be a drum roadie for Thunder the drummer in an all female punk band

Rude boy by Jack Hazan, anyone ?

The Taqwacores (2010) is another good one, centered around the experiences of Muslim punks in a squat house in post 9/11 small town USA.

why no rock and roll swindle?

My favourite punk film is 1986's Dogs in Space by Richard Lowenstein. Fantastic look at the Little Bands scene of Melbourne in the late 70's, and also a look into Australian sharehouse culture that he would later delve deeper into in the film He Died With a Falafel In His Hand. Dogs in Space has a brilliant soundtrack, and also features Michael Hutchins acting as the lead.
