Rock Docs: A Podcast About Movies About Music
Today's documentary is Hype!, released in 1996, directed by Doug Pray.
For this episode we are joined by some Very Special Guests: Candice Renee and Jeff Terich of the band Blood Ponies, the music website Treble, the podcast The Cue Sheet, and much more.
Hype! describes the rise, and, to a lesser extent, fall of the Seattle grunge music/lifestyle scene in the 1980s and early 90s. The documentary features interviews and live performances from superstars Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, as well as many other less well known musicians and people who were there when it all happened, man.
And yes, in 1992 the New York Times really did publish the LEXICON OF GRUNGE: BREAKING THE CODE. Click here and scroll down to find out what "SWINGIN' ON THE FLIPPITY-FLOP" means, unless you want to be a COB NOBBLER.
