About this episode
This week, we are joined by MARTIN WONG (co-creator and editor of GIANT ROBOT magazine and self-proclaimed ‘shitworker’ for THE LINDA LINDAS ) to discuss the music narrative punk film LINDA LINDA LINDA . We discuss Martin’s past writing for FLIPSIDE magazine and his initial exposure to punk music, how Giant Robot was started, our favorite obscure Asian cinema and music, how James Iha of Smashing Pumpkins did the soundtrack for this film, the L.A. Chinatown punk scene, the Linda Lindas opening for The Rolling Stones , The Blue Hearts , The Clash , Buzzcocks , Die Kreuzen , the power of hearing an amazing song for the first time, the current Japanese punk scene, Guitar Wolf , The Ramones dream sequence stand-ins in this film, punk rock video stores and what happens when you finally write your first good song. So let’s dive off the stage arm-in-arm on this week’s episode of Revolutions Per Movie!!!
