The Weather Underground

It's fairly unlikely you'd have made it here without ever having heard of Jason's previous incarnation. So here you go, talk away...

The Weather Underground

Post by Alex English »

I don't know if anyone has seen the documentary about The Weathermen, the late 60s radical group that became the Weather Underground in the 70s, called The Weather Underground. It is pretty good and it features some interesting music. Everything from the Aphex Twin, Tarantel, Sonic Youth, Gil Scott-Heron, Sly and the Family Stone, and the EAR song Mood For A Summer Sundown.
