電影中買下場地的 Vice Media 據傳將申請破產 https://www.theguardian.com/media/2023/may/01/vice-media-group-bankruptcy-report
Vice Media reportedly headed for bankruptcyLive House是一個被資本遏制的文化,即便是孕育了眾多知名歌手、樂團的Live House,仍需面對仕紳化所帶來的困境。 台北的音樂場景和紐約不同,但都代表著一個城市文化,也許會有其他更新、更潮、更符合時代的的Live House出現,但是如DBA這樣深耕城市文化的Live House可能再也不會有下一個了。
開頭畫面即以眾多人排隊進場開始,緬懷最具代表性的Live House DBA,原以為在文化多元、奔放的紐約,對於Live House文化是相對友善的,但這部影片也提醒著我們無論在世界哪個角落,資本主義的現實是不會輕易放過每一個機會的。 對於時代文化的殞落,我們更需要這樣的紀錄片來幫我們傳承與記憶。

以Oliver Ackermann為首的紐約熱血搞團青年為了開設手工吉他效果器工作室Death By Audio,意外在工業區租到一間破舊但龐大的倉庫。他們在這裏搞起各式派對與表演,靠低廉的門票和酒水費支付開銷。Oliver Ackermann⋯⋯

What is rock? Rock is music, a culture, and above all—a way of life. From tender romance to explosive frenzy, rock takes on countless forms. If you’re still not sure what rock really is—watch the films first!
In the month of 9/11 in the early 2000s, graphic design master Milton Glaser, creator of "I ❤️ NY," powerfully expressed the hopeful and fearless spirit of New Yorkers with a new poster: "I ❤️ NY MORE THAN EVER." The magic of New York's spirit captivated me, drawing me to move to the city two years later. In 2005, I lived in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, across the river—a dreamland for hippies and artists. Shepard Fairey's graffiti adorned the streets, and at night, for just five dollars, you could slip through a small door into a food warehouse by the river to hear all sorts of wild music performances. At that time, there was no social media, and artists expressed themselves to the world in a very pure way. Banksy secretly hung his work in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, only to be discovered by security two hours later. Marina Abramović and her partner Ulay finally gazed into each other's eyes amidst the sprawling queues at MoMA. After Alexander McQueen passed away, "Savage Beauty" at the Metropolitan Museum became a city-wide sensation. These slightly aged, yet fortunately experienced, New York moments—their initial shock and emotion—have been permanently sealed as scenes, shaping my future attitude towards art and design.

Rock isn’t just a genre—it’s a culture, a way of life. Some may seem bizarre or outrageous, but they’re actually artistic geniuses. Some pioneered new sounds that shaped generations. Some wielded the pen like a sword, turning rock into a cultural force. Some stood tall against oppressive regimes, refusing to unclench their fists. Giloo presents 11 essential rock documentaries. So if anyone ever asks you what rock is, just tell them: watch these films. Don’t ask me what rock means—feel it.
The Kishu An Book Festival aims to overturn the stereotype of books as dull or monotonous by infusing literature with vibrant musical elements and bringing artistic experiences into everyday life. Through engaging sessions led by guest speakers, participants are invited to discover how closely literature resonates with their own lives. The 2022 edition of the festival, themed “Musical Narrative: Music x Reading”, featured lectures, performances, an online film screening series, and a themed marketplace. It brought together music critics, writers, and singer-songwriters who navigate both the literary and musical worlds, sharing how they translate experiences between these forms and explore unique modes of expression and interpretation.
Alcohol is tears, it's euphoria, it's unfiltered release, it's whispered confidences. Its nature, good or bad, is truly indefinable. These films offer a captivating and authentic record of the emotions—the highs and lows—associated with drink.
