'90s indie-rock band Pavement reunites for their sold-out 2022 tour. But as preparations get underway, surreal tributes emerge: an off-Broadway musical adaptation of their songs, a museum devoted entirely to the band’s legacy, and a shamelessly awards-baiting Hollywood biopic.

Some of the generation’s most iconic creators reflect on how the cohort once synonymous with slacking came to leave such an indelible impression on the culture.

Gary Young, drummer for indie-rock icons Pavement, injected a wild-card unpredictability into the band's breakthrough, lo-fi sound. But those same gonzo impulses derailed his rock star dream.

A fixture of the "indie rock" scene in the mid-90's, Silkworm left behind a unique catalog that is continually being re-discovered by critics and fans. Using extensive interviews with the surviving members, Couldn't You Wait? chronicles their unlikely 17 year long career on the fringe of alternative music.

Dandelion Records and DVD's present Probably the nearest you will ever get to an official documentary on Mark E Smith and The Fall.

The cast list includes Mark E Smith, John Peel (a real in depth contribution from Peelie), Henry Rollins, Thurston Moore, David Gedge, Stephen Malkmus, Dee Dee Ramone, Peter Hook, Grant Showbiz, John Cooper Clarke, Damo Suzuki, Gary Lucas, Ed Blaney, Jim Watts, Spencer Birtwistle, Ben Pritchard, Zlatko Buric, Alan Wise, The Other Dave and Fall Fan Dave. Bonus material includes a great interview with Mark E Smith in what was his favourite pub near Heaton Park in Manchester (sadly the pub is now closed)

Stephen Malkmus offers a glimpse at his life and upcoming album, Sparkle Hard, in a new short documentary from director Brook Linder.
