Thur.-Sun. Jan. 26-29: Dragonslayer (Dir. Tristan Patterson - 2011 - 74m) DRAGONSLAYER won the Grand Jury Prize for Best Documentary at SXSW 2011 and is the 2nd feature film to be released theatrically by Drag City Records following Harmony Korine’s Trash Humpers. An intimate vérité portrait of the life and times of Josh “Skreech” Sandoval, a 23-year-old skate legend from the stagnant suburbs of Fullerton, CA, DRAGONSLAYER takes the viewer through a golden SoCal haze of lost youth, broken homes and abandoned swimming pools, set to a soundtrack of bands from indie-rock labels Mexican Summer and Kemado Records-including Best Coast, Bipolar Bear, Children, Dungen, Jacuzzi Boys, Little Girls and The Soft Pack—as well as Death and Thee Oh Sees. @ The Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) 3/7:20pm each nite, ticket prices on the website
Thurs. Jan. 26 to Wed. Feb. 1- Color Me Obsessed (Dir. Gorman Bechard - 2011 - 123m) Like many who were weaned on punk music, director Bechard latched onto this brash young Minneapolis band with fervor. Told through the eyes of fans, friends, and contemporaries, the film breaks from the traditional music documentary format of music and performances. “Not wanting to make a VH1/where-are-they-now style documentary, I decided to present the band in a more iconic way,” the director explains. Dubbed “the last best band” by Spin Magazine, Replacements' live shows could be miraculous or downright disasters. As critic’s darlings, their albums were wrought with angry guitars and passionate well-written lyrics that hinted at potential commercial success. Yet, somehow, the band managed to continually shoot themselves in the foot. Their relative obscurity was a motivating factor in presenting their story, an obsessive tale of the most influential band you've never heard of, The Replacements. And though containing not a note of their music, COLOR ME OBSESSED is a documentary that really rocks. Also, Adam Hooks & friends will be performing some Replacements songs on opening night! @ The Guild Cinema (3405 Central NE) 5/9pm each nite, ticket prices on the website

Thurs. Jan. 26- The Low Life w/ DJ Caterwaul anniversary show falls on its new night! Caterwaul's been spinning at Blackbird for a solid year now, and is getting promoted to Thursdays. In celebration, there's gonna be (finally!) new flyer artwork, free mixtapes, CDs & other random goodies at the show, plus recent transplant Billy the Bunny doing live video mixing projections! “Low” as in downtown, underground, lowdown’n’dirty. Expect some deep psych, garage, roots, punk and freaky, funky rock, with plenty of curveballs in the mix. Come out, grab some grub, have a few drinks, and dig in! Now every 2nd & 4th Thursday night of the month.
@ Blackbird Buvette (509 Central NW, downtown) 9pm til close, Free, 21+ Kickass Mark Beyer artwork (naked silverbear touching himself & being mocked by albums) also viewable in this week's Alibi! Apologies to the post-it artist from one of MT's Tombstone 40-oz. nights; I don't know your name.
