Heavy Metal
|
IMDB rating: 6.30 Plot: An astronaut brings home a glowing green orb for his daughter. However, the orb kills him and corners the girl for its purposes. Claiming to the embodiment of all evil, the malevolent sphere, known as the Loc-Nar, terrorizes the little girl by showing a series of bizarre and fantastic tales it has influenced. The first is “Harry Canyon,” a cynical taxi driver in a squalid futuristic New York who finds himself involved with a damsel in distress who is relentlessly pursued by murderous thugs who desire the Loc-Nar her archaeologist father found. The second is “Den” which chronicles the adventures of a nerdish boy who is thrown into the fantasy world of Neverwhere, where he is transformed into a studly naked muscle-man, desired by beautiful women, who must get involved in a conflict revolving around possession of the Loc-Nar. The third is “Captain Sternn” where the title character is a handsome but irredeemable scoundrel who stands accused in a trial that Loc-Nar throws into chaos. The fourth is “B-17″, where a World War II bomber plane limps home after a bombing run, only to have the Loc-Nar ram into it and revive the dead crew members as murderous zombies. The next is “So Beautiful, So Dangerous” where a buxom secretary at the Pentagon is abducted by stoned alien wastrels and a oversexed robot. The final story is “Taarna”, where the Loc-Nar has to come to a future Earth and changes a peaceful people into a horde of murderous barbarians who rampage with genocidal zeal. Only the last Tarackian, a silent swords-woman known as Taarna, can avenge the victims and stop the Loc-Nar. |

Gimme Indie Rock!: What do you think of Sebadoh?
Dinosaur Jr’ s former and current bassist, Lou Barlow’s other band. I actually prefer Sebadoh over Dinosaur Jr, J Mascis’s lyrics aren’t that impressive and he just sounds plain whiny sometimes.
Sebadoh is one of the more versatile indie bands, they run the gambit from sickly sweet and heart wrenching to angry punk with growling vocals verging on heavy metal sometimes in the same song.
I couldn’t find the clips I wanted use that would illustrate all their different styles and give them proper credit. Here’s the best of what I could find, the first three are among my all-time favorites.

Bubble and Scrape is probably my favorite album, I wanted to use a couple of the songs you mentioned but couldn’t find decent clips.
Yeah Sebadoh are a great band although I only have Bubble & Scrape at the moment. My favourite songs would be Soul And Fire, Sacred Attention, Cliche and Think(Let Tomorrow Bee).
