Put Blood in the Music
1989, 75 min
Put Blood in the Music is a unique documentary on the downtown New York music scene. In a collage of music, performance and commentary, Charles Atlas captures the energy and pluralism that characterise this urban milieu. Reflecting the eclecticism of his subject, Atlas re-structures the conventional ‘talking head’ format to allow a fragmented, fast-paced compendium of voices and sounds, ranging from music critic John Rockwell of The New York Times to street musicians. Focusing on such influential downtown figures as John Zorn, and featuring performances by Zorn, Sonic Youth, Hugo Largo and others, this is less a documentary than a cultural document, a vivid time capsule of the contemporary New York music scene.

Are you going?
Is that a silly question?

Tsk tsk... It's a very silly question, Pookie. Of course I'm going.

I've only ever seen the edited version, and I'll be interested to see the full thing, which (I think) features sections on Hugo Largo and Ambitious Lovers in addition to what was on the South Bank Show.

You London bastards with your awesome shows and fancy cinemas..

booking recommended.
4 pounds is ok, isn't it?

Four quid's a bargain in my book!
