the one thing i keep pondering is they never did say what Dennis did for a living, but i guess he could have been retired by the time the movie was made... they certainly travelled around enough to follow bands, and lots of trips to the UK for shows as well. 

looks like the footage was shoot before 2017 as that's when they did the Kickstarter for it. 

one of my favorite moments is of course when Noel Gallagher meets them for the first time and said "You are the Dennis and Lois?".  i guess having a Happy Mondays song written about you helps...

i'm guessin' the club staph have meet them more than once over years

they are like the forest gump of indie music

Yeah don't really know what their funding source would be...they seem broke, but fly to manchester to see a show and fly back the next day
that can't be cheap

Would not have known of this film without these posts. Thanks. Really enjoyed, and a high school chum is even in the film.

appreciated by us music nerds, but I miss a president that understands that music is the spice of life and is tasteless without it
I love that it's current and all over the map (noticeably no KPOP tho...)

The footage he has is incredible.

On the other hand, the UK is so incredibly fcucked right now.

Taylor Swift's "Willow" goes from #1 to #38 on the Billboard Hot 100, making the greatest fall from No. 1 on the Hot 100 in the chart's history.

Not too surprising that she's now susceptible to the "Rush" effect: stans buy new record when released, then no one else does. Named for its swiftness and the band for whom its most famous.

So now it's the "Swift" effect?

Neil Young has now sold 50% of the rights to his songwriting catalog.


makes me think Hipgnosis Songs Fund Ltd might be a good investment...hasn't done much, but it's building quite the repertoire
