Monday Movie [Parte 5]

Dudes (1987)/ dir. Penelope Spheeris

"Real life is NOT California. Real life is a shit sandwich... and everyday you gotta take another bite."

Penelope Spheeris (best known for her rockumentary series The Decline Of Western Civilization, and Wayne's World) directs this teen revenge flick where a trio of rockers (John Cryer, Daniel Roebuck, & Flea) decide to ditch their city gutter punk life and head out to California. After encountering some killer biker trash their plans get diverted. Cryer has an American Indian spiritual awakening and Roebuck learns to shoot guns from a wild west babe. Aimless teens become empowered and revenge ensues.

Flea gets offed in the first fifteen minutes which is lamentable and the plot gets so crazy garbled at the end, but this just makes it all the better to drink PBR tall boys to.

Although they've probably got enough online hype working for them without pulling mine own head out of mine own arse to rave about them again, it would be difficult to overstate the new Chromatics album. Among the standout tracks on Night Drive is a cover of one the best songs ever, Kate Bush's "Running Up That Hill". While it would impossible to outdo the vocal histrionics of the original, Chromatics make good by doing what they do to everything, smoothing things down to a somnambulist tempo and add the loving touch of italo disco. This signature style owes much to the hand of Johnny Jewel (in-house producer for Mike Simonetti's Italians Do It Better label and white deep v wearer). This aesthetic seems to be winning many converts recently: making inroads to the traditional indie community with the recent label comp After Dark, while also getting charted by many notable house & disco DJs. Chromatics' "In The City" even found it's way onto Dixon's outstanding Body Language Vol.4 mix from earlier this year.




Tonight, if I had a car, I would be taking my own dreamy disco night drive along to this...
