like the perfect snapshot into the late 90s alternative scene and the music industry as a whole. told through the stories of the brian jonestown massacre and the dandy warhols as they fall into the weirdest band rivalry ever…

a messy & intimate look at my chemical romance in their revenge era catching them between new jersey basements & future arena rock superstardom . the band is funny & sweet & gross in about equal measure , they clearly all love each other a lot + there’s some great performances in there as well .
it’s definitely a bit harrowing to see gerard’s alcoholism on full display , but as a portrait of the band it gives a lot of context to how the band was formed , why they became the standard bearers for 2000’s emo , why they would eventually break up (& come back together) .
for a double feature i’d recommend following this up with ‘the black parade is dead’ to see them at their absolute (2000’s) peak

A documentary that was born all because someone once found a 7” single from an unknown Detroit band by the name of Death. Turns out the band of 3 brothers had essentially nailed the sound of punk music years before it had become a thing. As a result of the documentary the band reunited and began touring again, decades after breaking up.

if you’re a wikipedia addict like me and you like going down internet rabbit-holes, this is a cool website that will take you to random old websites that haven’t been updated in a while.
mostly it‘s a lot of old personal websites and blogs which makes it a really nice time capsule from before the internet died.
