Black Flag, SST, and Reality 86'd with Jim Ruland Aug 09, 2022

Show notes

Today's documentary is Reality 86'd, about Black Flag's final tour, in 1986, with the bands Painted Willie and Gone. The documentary was directed by David Markey and released in 1991. It's not officially avaiable at the moment, but in theory we have heard of people tracking it down on YouTube and Vimeo.

For this episode we are joined by Very Special Guest Jim Ruland, author of the fantastic recent book about the history of SST records, "Corporate Rock Sucks: The Rise & Fall of SST Records". Read the book! It's great!
