Okay, so a feature length movie that has among its cast Mick Collins, Iggy Pop, Nathaniel Mayer, Tav Falco, Cordell Jackson and Cub Koda. If most of those names don't mean anything to you, you're probably thinking "So what?" If, however, you recognize most of those names, you're probably thinking the same thing I am. Why haven't I heard about this movie? That's a cast that Jim Jarmusch would envy, every one a music figure, all from different genres. (If you're not familiar with most of them, they all have their own Wikipedia entries, so they're not all that obscure. You might just have a shitty record collection.) The movie's called Wayne County Ramblin', and does not appear to have anything to do with the singer Wayne County (or Jayne County). It could, I've never seen it. (Trailer is here.)
Rather than post music from each of these artists, I'll limit it to the Gories, because it's their fault that I got sidetracked. (Actually, most of those artists haven't been posted before, so I can milk that list for future posts, said the guy who's too lazy to dig around for that many artists in one night.) This post was supposed to be about them, but the video above is what led me to the film, because it was done by the same guy, Dan Rose. And here we are, an hour or so later. It being Saturday, elaboration is taking the night off.

Welcome to the Trastos AV Club Related, because Mike McCarthy is also a trashy music loving filmmaker you should be aware of.
