hard core logo are one of the greatest fictional bands of all time. right up there with spinal tap, strange fruit and wyld stallions, hard core logo are legendary. fronted by joe dick (hugh dillon of the headstones), hard core logo are so fucking good that you only wish they were real. this soundtrack cd is the one to get. there is a much more common “tribute” to hard core logo cd out there, and it’s even included with the dvd of the film. for some reason, the actual songs from the movie as performed by dillon (and swamp baby) were much harder to find. it was aaron at the kma who pointed me in the direction of this cd on the discogs .

spinal tap are in the metal / arena rock / get rich / get famous mode of aspiring rock stardom, while hard core logo are in the punk / clubs and auditoriums / get angry / be alienated mode, a state of being necessarily at odds with the very idea of stardom. hard core logo' s relationship to spinal tap, whether intentional or no, reprises punk' s historic response to prog rock .

however, while it is easy to list the ways in which hard core logo is similar to spinal tap, such a comparison also masks critical differences. these differences are foregrounded by the opposing identities of the two bands .

filmmaker bruce mcdonald returns to the mockumentary format of his 1996 cult favorite hard core logo in this sequel of sorts. in this film' s alternate universe, mcdonald left his native canada after the box - office success of hard core logo for the united states and a successful career directing cable television projects. now his career has gone into a tailspin and he' s working on a cheesy reality show on wiccans to pay the rent. in the course of his research, he encounters care failure, the manic, drug - fueled lead singer with the punk band die mannequin, and learns she' s convinced she' s been possessed by the spirit of the late hard core logo frontman joe dick .

michael turner: michael turner’s novel hard core logo was made into an indie feature film in 1996 by canadian director bruce mcdonald; since then, this epistolary novel about a punk rock band’s ill - fated reunion tour has attracted a cult following .
hard core logo, much like every other canadian movie, is a purely original movie. it takes a look at vancouver' s favourite bad boys of punk, hard core logo. bruce mcdonald' s direction is simply amazing and callum rennie and hugh dillon are brilliant as billy tallent and joe dick. the frenzied music drives the picture and noel s. baker' s writing shows just what a first - time script writer can do with a little persistence and many script rewrites. hard core logo has been compared to this is spinal tap. although there are similarities, hcl' s furious, biting, raunchy humor, wit and believability crushes spinal tap and leaves it flapping in the wind like yesterday' s news .
mcdonald, along with co - writer dave griffith, honor the passage of time by setting the second film fifteen years after the first rather than picking up with the characters closer to the mid - 1990s, or excavating hard core logo' s pre - history. this decision necessarily entails a re - orientation of the narrative, but hard core logo 2 goes so far as to introduce an almost entirely new cast of characters, albeit for the purpose of looking back on the old .

hard core logo is an epistolary novel that portrays a punk rock band reunited for one last shot at glory. adapting a scrapbook approach, consisting of monologues, conversations, letters, interviews, photographs, and related paraphernalia (including posters, invoices and contracts), hard core logo tells the story of joe dick, an unrepentant, true - blue punk rocker, whose no - holds - barred approach to music was severely undermined by the breakup of his band, hard core logo, done in by changing times and fortunes. however, when he and the band are asked by a longtime fan to reunited for an environmental benefit, his passions are once again stirred, and he convinces his bandmates to turn the one - time reunion into an actual tour. the book provides a fascinating, warts - and - all glimpse into the life and times of a rock band, and the dichotomy between the grim realities of life on the road, and the rock' n' roll spirit that inspired them in the first place. hard core logo was made into a feature film by director bruce mcdonald, debuting at the cannes film festival in 1996 to rave reviews. hard core logo has also been adapted for radio; a stage version will debut in vancouver in 2010 .

segwit looks like a reality on the network, but with it comes a 2mb hard fork. whether the 2mb hard fork will have teeth is an open question, but the fact that a significant percentage of the economic nodes have signed an agreement to hard fork means, well, that there will probably be a hard fork. if there is even a little resistance to a hard fork, we can expect two bitcoins around november 18 .
the story as presented in this rambunctious but skimpy production involves the fictitious four - piece punk crew hard core logo on a short reunion tour through western canada after an ugly breakup six years prior. stops include

mcdonald also uses the cinema verite style as a way of creating realism in the process of filming the band. golfman describes mcdonald’s use of this film genre: the device permits mcdonald not only to shoot himself, but also to experiment with the conventions of naturalistic filmmaking: hand - held camera work, moments of apparent off - the - record candor, overlapping sound, chaotic composition and a general sense of episodic unpredictability (golfman 30). although the chaotic nature relates to postmodernism’s penchant for the unreal, this same element of chaos also makes hard core logo actually seem more realistic. mcdonald once called hard core logo, “spinal tap’s mean little brother” (anderlini 43). however, hard core logo goes beyond the grass roots of spinal tap. whereas spinal tap gives the viewer a comical look at heavy metal band parody, hard core logo dances between the logic of documentary and narrative. by keeping the movie stars out of the film and using canadian ensemble - style casting, macdonald creates a sense of edgy reality. maclean’s magazine notes that “although hard core logo is an affectionate parody, this parody is undercut by the raw nerve of realism” (89). while bruce mcdonald views hard core logo as a story about growing up and growing apart, hugh dillon, who plays joe dick, sees the film as “a hard core destruction of masculinity” (anderlini 44). the book by michael turner shows the band’s road trip as a process of a punk band’s demise, as well as a unique reading process for the audience. throughout these processes, one thing is clear. although both forms of storytelling play with many elements of postmodernism, neither can be labelled as precise examples of postmodernism. in fact, both the book and the film are hybrids, a combination of genres, pulled together to create there very own style, unique entities. while turner’s book playfully explores different genres to tell a story, mcdonald’s film uses the parody of the documentary structure to create a conventional realist feel to his film. so, how can one describe the book and film hard core logo? only four words need come to mind; it’s an experience, man !
bruce macdonald follows punk bank hard core logo on a harrowing last - gasp reunion tour throughout western canada. as magnetic lead - singer joe dick holds the whole magilla together through sheer force of will, all the tensions and pitfalls of life on the road come bubbling to the surface .
teaching the film, i have observed that students either love hard core logo or they hate it. the surprise is arguably more meaningful to those who love the movie, but even the haters have different reactions. if the reveal were simply about the machinery of the story, i' d be less concerned with how to approach the film. the fact that the unexpected in hard core logo is about affect and emotion, rather than a particular, traceable consequence to the reading of plot, is what leaves me feeling circumspect about openly discussing the film and its successor .
hard core logo, the novel by michael turner, first appeared in 1993. following a legendary fictional punk band from vancouver as they reunite and go on tour in western canada, the story is told through a collection of notebook scraps, overheard conversations, set lists and song lyrics .
part three — tentatively titled hard core logo: 45s (as in the gun, someone' s age and those vinyl records) — will be shot more in a straight - up feature style and picks up roughly six months later. it was written by canadian playwright daniel macivor .
hard core logo is a strong cinematic work by mcdonald. it takes place in a world were the 4 band members are interviewed, tell each other stories and lies, make candid confessions on camera, stab each other in the back, and communicate best when performing onstage. it was named best canadian feature of the year by the fledgling toronto film critics association in 1996, and it won a genie award for best song. mcdonald was also nominated for best director. at the vancouver international film festival, hard core logo was named best canadian feature and best canadian screenplay .
this film just goes to show what the much - ignored canadian film industry is capable of. a small - budget but still very impressive film like hard core logo makes one wonder what could be coming out of canada if canadians would actually support their own film industry, instead of running out to spend their hard - earned cash on mass - market pulp like
armageddon .
appropriately, the members of spinal tap are depicted as bombastic and buffoonish, deluded about their place in the world, but also charming, and a little sad, in their dysfunction. where spinal tap are, ultimately, harmless despite cultivating an image as hard rock bad boys, the members of hard core logo are, largely, marginal misfits, edgy to the point of violence .
director bruce mcdonald, a frequent mckellar collaborator, chimes in at # 4 with hard core logo and with highway 61. while mcdonald has tried for years to mount a film version of chester brown’s underground comic book yummy fur, he has found it easier to raise funds for the kind of road movie which established him. but the elements all gelled in hard core logo, a mock - rockumentary about a punk band’s last gasp reunion tour through western canada. while neither it nor highway 61 set the box office ablaze, their strong showings in the poll speak to mcdonald’s cult popularity .
mcdonald, or
bruce the filmmaker
as he is credited in the present work, is one of two returning characters, the other being music producer and joe dick mentor / rival, bucky haight (julian richings). however, filmmaker bruce has a new band to focus on, die mannequin, but while hard core logo 2 teases with the idea that die mannequin is the new hard core logo and frontwoman care failure, credited as herself, is the new joe dick, this time, the filmmaker, and not his subjects, is placed at the center of the story .
hard core logo can be summed up in three words, metafiction goes punk. it' s the prose medium at its most hybrid. to take it out of shorthand and give it an elaborated review, however, you can read hard core logo a few different ways: firstly, as its metaphor, secondly, as metafiction and finally, as mockumentary posing as prose. let' s look at how the book is formed first. it' s a mix of john' s (bassist) near - scrutinising journal entries, our protagonists side of phone calls in transcribed form, r

plans are afoot for a fourth – and maybe even a fifth – film inspired by a fake canadian punk band called hard core logo that implodes during an ill - fated reunion tour in 1996. despite the dire ending of the original film, the possibilities for sequels are endless, mcdonald insists .
mcdonald says the real - life billy talent were hard core fans of the film, and sent him backstage passes to an arena show last year as thanks for inspiring the group' s name .
as a director, mcdonald gained fame for a trio of road movies (preceding hard core logo were roadkill and highway 61), in which the forward momentum was built into the plot. that kind of push is simply not available in a drama based around the repetitious business of making a record .
the new blu - ray

of hard core logo includes the sequel and two sets of extra features. related to the original film are: a commentary track with mcdonald, hugh dillon, and writer, noel baker, a video for hard core logo' s biggest

, the original trailer, and an excerpt from paul mcewan' s book - length critical treatment of the film published by university of toronto press (2011; the disc also includes a discount code for purchase of the book) .
earlier this month at a revue theatre, fans held a hard core logo tribute night featuring a screening, a q & a with mcdonald and others involved in the film, and a live cover band. fans were invited to sing along to the soundtrack and mcdonald says he was astounded by how many actually knew the words to songs like son of a bitch to the core and edmonton block heater .
while postmodernism is reflected in turner’s book, hard core logo, what makes this story postmodern is ironically also what makes this story not postmodern. the idea of making the book like a collage, or fragments of a story, is postmodern, yet this approach also challenges postmodern ideology. turner’s story is about memories. these memories reflect the history of the band and the different perspectives of all involved, much like a diary or an interview would. memories are fragmented, non - linear versions of reality. this makes turner’s book more realistic then one may think. yet, one aspect of postmodernism is to deconstruct reality. turner takes fragmented genres, and turns them into memories, a collaboration of thoughts and ideas that a creative collective genius has gathered. hard core logo becomes a road story scrapbook of pictures and writings by the band. the compilation of entries in this book make the story of the band, hard core logo, seem less fictional and more realistic. postmodernism strives on breaking down realism, becoming fictional, almost dreamlike, unreal and deliberately hazy. hard core logo lacks the linear structure a traditional novel is based on. this non - linear aspect is found in life as well. the style in which hard core logo is written creates a realistic snapshot of daily life by taking journal entries and other writings and turning them into a story that has anything but a narrative structure. lyrics, invoices, and photos make the book non - fictional, which in fact, challenges the postmodern penchant for non - reality .
in fact, according to charlie shrem’s tweet above, the hope of segwit2x is that the hard fork changes would simply be accepted into bitcoin core. of course, some signers of the new york agreement have explicitly stated they don’t want core to control the reference client, so this is an open question .
hard core logo is one of the better canadian independent films made. i liked hard core logo and i do not like indie style films which says a lot. another fake documentary which gets across as so real! hugh dillon, who is the lead singer of the headstones, added many real life experiences in the movie. one experiences what a van ride / tour for five days would be like! the winnipeg meltdown, and the stage performance memorable. when hard core logo plays, there is an real life performance. (authentic) the movie' s foreground is about a friendship between john dic and billy talent. john is a real friend and is a in your face does not care guy. john hates phonies, and is self - destructive. billy is angry at john for wrecking his career, and wants to grow as a musician. one experiences a real friendship in the movie between the two protagonists, but as the movie progresses the past strains the relationship. hard core logo show everyone uses everyone, and getting back stabbed. john the guy who does not actually care, does care and the unbreakable breaks. john gets broken and one experiences real pain / tears and a horrible ending. seven out of ten stars .
hard core logo: live is entertaining (if occasionally silly; the acid - trip scene was pure spoof), and scene - stealer jennifer walls is fun in a variety of the roles she plays. ultimately, however, beyond its rugged charm, the production is under - nourishing and puzzlingly lacking in intensity .
this movie totally rocks. i was in vancouver in the early 80s at the time that hard core logo would have been breaking out it they had been a real band - - spent lots of time at the smilin' buddha watching pointed sticks and doa and whoever - the - hell was on stage. re this movie, watch it and enjoy it, but do not miss the book
hard core logo
if you can help it. it is a sort of
mnaking of
book by screenwriter noel baker, whom i knew both as a child when we were at school when we were, oh twelve or so, and then met briefly in vancouver during the punk heyday. the book is his narration of being on set as the movie filmed and is hilarious, insightful, and very well written. even if hard core logo had never existed, or if you have not seen it ,
hard core roadshow
would be worth reading. the book is hard to find now, but * damn * it is worth it. it lives up to the spirit of the movie and the 80s vancouver punk scene, but it is also touching and very funny. bravo noel if you' re out there dude. i wish you all the best .

despite the conventional - sounding title, hard core logo 2 is not a straight - forward sequel. the newer film does not so much continue the story of the first, but reflect back on the events and aftermath of the original, concerned more on dealing with the past than addressing the present, or what happens next .

hard core logo’s material is a mixture of originals and covers. the monster riff of “who the hell do you think you are? ” commences the soundtrack with hard core logo’s signature tune. dillon’s snotty vocals perfectly nail the vibe of the movie. it’s dangerous sounding punk rock, pissed off but simultaneously fun. equally dangerous is “rock and roll is fat and ugly”, and let’s not forget the canadiana of “edmonton block heater”. for some serious pain and heart, check out “china white”. headstones fans are automatically going to want this whole soundtrack, because dillon’s voice and the sound of headstones are so closely associated. dillon is 100% genuinely the real deal. always has been .
the version of hard core logo on the blu - ray is a new transfer, supervised by mcdonald, and the side - by - side comparison of the two films on the disc allows for an appreciation of the different media used for each, analog in the case of the original, and (mostly) digital in the case of the sequel .
where the original hard core logo looked outwards, to the bygone landscape of canadian punk rock, ii turns in, bringing mcdonald (in his fictional and real incarnations, though the film is keen to blur the distinction) to the centre. hard core logo ii is a punk rock barney’s version, an unflinching analysis of its maker’s move from sneering rock ‘n’ roll filmmaker to chubby old dude in a trademark straw cowboy hat. it’s this introspection that impresses, proving that mcdonald has not only aged, but matured, while also channeling the flair and polish of his earlier features. and more than all this, it’s genuinely, strangely affecting: something a bruce mcdonald film hasn’t been since, well, ever .
segwit2x branched off the bitcoin core 0. 14 release and has a diff of less than 500 lines as of this writing from bitcoin core 0. 14. about half are related to bip91 (orphan blocks that don’t signal segwit) and the rest is split between testnet5 (new testnet), change of name (bitcoin core = > segwit2x) and bip102 (2mb blocks). it’s within the realm of possibility that this code can get merged into core, for example .
hard core logo is frequently compared to this is spinal tap (1984), and, as a matter of form, the comparison is apt. both films are faux documentaries about fictional rock bands, each of which lend their names to their film' s title. neither group is shown at the height of their reputed powers. not surprisingly, given the nature of the mockumentary, both films work as absurdist comedies. both rely on the tour as a narrative device. the two also share the conceit of having the director of the actual movie also play the role of the director of the film within the film (rob reiner as marti dibergi in spinal tap and bruce mcdonald as
documentary filmmaker
in hard core logo) .
both satire and bittersweet life quest, his new hard core logo ii — opening this weekend at tiff bell lightbox — picks up from the radical flameout of hugh dillon’s rock lifer joe dick at the end of the first film. it then heads into something resembling a rock ’n’ roll ghost story, starring mcdonald and care failure, the singer for punk band die mannequin .
most people are going to buy this cd just for the hard core logo tracks, but there is some excellent additional music after that. swamp baby without hugh dillon provide a cover of “hawaii” by the young canadians. short n’ sweet, and then on to some actual punk classics: teenage head (“bonerack”), the ramones (“touring”), and chris spedding (“wild wild women”). i can always go for some teenage head, and you can hear a lot of teenage head in hard core logo’s tunes. as for the ramones, joey had a brief cameo in the film, lending it some extra authenticity sauce. although i find many ramones tunes to have a sound - alike quality, “touring” just makes me smile .
often characterized as a more elegiac and dark version of this is spinal tap, the film was a cult hit both in canada and the united states, where it was released under the auspices of quentin tarantino. hard core logo ended with dillon' s character, joe dick, committing suicide on camera by shooting himself in the head, which made an orthodox sequel impossible .

henderson is one of many members of guelph’s arts community whom craine wrote into his book. in the mockumentary film, mcdonald has various actors and luminaries, including joey ramone, art bergmann, and terry david mulligan, reminiscing about hard core logo but, in his book, craine swaps them out for local musicians like dave withers, lewis melville, and suzi chick, among others .
frontman hugh dillon playing the role of punk singer joe dick, who fronted the fictional hard core logo, using him again would have been difficult considering, well, the character killed himself in the flick' s final moments (sorry for the spoiler). that didn' t dissuade director bruce mcdonald from bringing the character back for a second feature, albeit in a slightly different form .
the film hard core logo, directed by bruce mcdonald, was inspired by turner’s unique book. although the basis for both the book and film genres is similar, mcdonald uses the characteristics of film to change turner’s story, making it original and successful as a feature length film. in an interview with the vancouver sun, turner described himself as being “aligned closer with the worlds of music, visual arts and media art than with the orbit of any writing supports establishment” (carlson, c5). the success of the movie hard core logo shows turner’s insight. mcdonald employ cinema verite, a film technique that uses aleatory methods and does not interfere with the way events take place in reality. although hard core logo is a fictional film, “it unreels in a surprising form of cinema verite documentary covering a reunion tour of a four man punk band” (golfman 30). this style of film - making is uncommon, but well chosen to represent turner’s uncommon book. mcdonald layers the film hard core logo with postmodernist elements. the idea of filming a mockumentary is postmodern in itself. the style in which mcdonald films this movie, much like the way turner wrote the story, interrogates truth claims. by making this movie a fake documentary, mcdonald takes the truest form of truthful filmmaking, the documentary, hence interrogating the truth origins and history of the film. the mockumentary, much like punk music, is a revolt on the genre from which it originated. this genre uses the power of capturing reality, and deconstructs it by using fiction as the basis of the film .

let' s get it over with right from the beginning: the only thing that
this is spinal tap !
and
hard core logo
have in common is the documentary set up. while spinal tap was a comedy that - as the name of the genre
mockumentary
suggests - mocked the heavy metal scene ,
hard core logo
is a character study that takes an honest look at a band and life on the road. actually, the whole framework is rather unnecessary in this movie as it serves no real purpose and characters didn' t act like they were in front of a camera (unlike say
the office
, where people behaved as if they were aware of being filmed). besides, the pictures are shot too beautifully anyway for this to feel like a real documentary. that' s not to say
hard core logo
isn' t realistic, though. the movie gives us a quite real impression of being in a punk band, caught between different agendas, personalities, power struggles and the sheer need to survive. this is why, apart from a few moments that will make you chuckle ,
hard core logo
isn' t really trying to be funny, either. just like real life the tragic moments outweigh the comedic ones by far. the acting is great and the soundtrack is accurate, two very important things to make a movie about punk rock work. apart from maybe the drummer the band members aren' t over - subscribed and you can really see guys like joe dick or billy talent playing in actual bands (guess what, hugh dillon actually was the singer of his own band, the headstones) .
hard core logo
works on every level and is very entertaining to watch, too. there are quite a few details in the story hinted at rather subtly, which you' re probably not going to get the first time around, so a second or third viewing is recommended .
the book’s growing audience set it on a course that mirrored a typical band’s career. the original release, a glorious, rough debut, was followed by a more mainstream version, in this case bruce mcdonald’s 1996 faux - documentary, which was successful even as it conceded some of what made the original book great to the realities of filmmaking. both were followed in 1997 by the graphic novel hard core logo: portrait of a thousand punks, a sort of return to what made the book good, like a band trying to shake off the compromises of mainstream success without alienating their new, wider audience. hard core logo spinoffs have continued since, with a play, an opera and a second film moving us firmly into the “oh, they’re still putting out albums? ” phase of the franchise .
hard core logo helped to establish director bruce mcdonald as one of the leading filmmakers in canada, and he has continued to have a close relationship with the canadian music scene in the years since. he’s been behind several recent films about canadian music, including the broken social scene concert film this movie is broken and a series about toronto’s 1960s rock and soul scene titled yonge street: toronto rock & roll stories .
leggere solo questo libro non basta. dentro ci sono tanti spunti, tante atmosfere, ma non è sufficiente. dopo aver letto il libro è essenziale guardare anche il film, il mocumentary hard core logo del 1996 (diretto da bruce mcdonald, con callum keith rennie e hugh dillon), per capire personaggi e situazioni, per
respirare
gli anni' 90 e la musica del tempo. comunque ottima idea.
