My guest this week is Jim Gavin (the creator of AMC’s incredible series Lodge 49 and author of Middle Men), who chose to discuss the Jawbreaker documentary Don’t Break Down. We talk about the band’s grip on their fans, the eventual backlash against Jawbreaker, lyrics that destroy you, the Masonic world and the genesis of Lodge 49, East Coast punk vs. West Coast punk, Lilies/Broadcast/Stereolab and other sonic rabbit holes, creating imaginary mentors, the legendary Jabberjaw/L.A. scene, creating your own mythology about a band, obsessing over Blake’s lyrics, the nature of imploding bands, the concept of selling out and Nirvana’s success, music as time travel, looking for a specific sound and hiring a private detective to find a specific song. So please don't turn your back towards the band on this week's Revolutions Per Movie!!!
