This week, I’m joined by JASON P. WOODBURY (of Aquarium Drunkard) and filmmakers BRIAN LINDSTROM & ANDY BROWN to discuss their incredible new film LOST ANGEL: THE GENIUS OF JUDEE SILL. We talked about Judee Sill’s gnostic relationship to her music and how she backed it up in her lifestyle, what our introductions to her music were like, Sill’s disdain of being lumped in with Christian Rock & opening for rock bands, her influence on Andy Partridge of XTC, how the filmmakers shaped the film over the past ten years, Tooth & Nail Records, the mythologizing of a subject’s life in documentary filmmaking, Asylum Records and her ups and downs with David Geffen, Some Kind Of Monster, Sill’s vulnerability and ego in her diary writings and drawings, how they chose to animate Sill’s artwork and found her voice, Sill’s influence on a new generation of musicians, her iconic Old Grey Whistle Test performance of “The Kiss,” how the film addresses childhood trauma, addiction, and resilience, what parts of Sill’s life didn’t fit into the film, and the power of Alice Coltrane, Sun Ra, Guided By Voices & SST Records,
So join us as we talk about one of the greatest songwriters to ever be part of the cosmos, Judee Sill, on this week’s Revolutions Per Movie.
