Requiem For a Dream Season
Forget whatever event we recommended in The Stranger for Saturday night. “Catch 22”? You’ve got to be kidding. Not when there’s a movie playing at NWFF that captures the very last authentic moment in pop culture history with 80 minutes of footage from the New-No-Now-Wave Festival in 1979. Ok, maybe there have been a few authentic moments since the powers that be decided that “Alternative” was a musical genre. Public Enemy. Bleach. Uh, that’s about it.
Devo, Tuxedomoon, The Monochrome Set and other New/No Wave heros will be there live in the celluloid and if you’re lucky you can let them sweep you away to the pre-MTV era for just a few moments while you rock out uncomfortably in your theater chair. Sober. 45 years old. Fingering the ghost of your long hair. What happend to you, man?

Damn, this looks cool! Were I not heading out of town I would check this out.
PS, Nice job in the Stranger Recommends, folks! That's the best Recommends page I've seen in that print rag in a loooong time.
Um, isn't this playing the weekend after (Feb 3 and 4)? It is according to the NWFF web site.
Thanks so much for the kind words, but M-80 is actually playing NEXT weekend, Feb 3 & 4. That does not, however, dilute the awesomeness of it all.
