Being Dad is an intimate, entertaining and revealing portrait of nine men who are tackling fatherhood, one of the most important roles in the world. Each episode of this new docu-series drops viewers into the lives of three dads who are facing challenges that are simultaneously unique and universal: a single dad re-enters the dating scene; an over-protective dad struggles with his autistic daughter’s growing independence; gay dads deal with the emotional complexities of adoption. While the featured fathers are different ages, races, and religions, they are all bound by the singular belief that raising their children is life’s greatest gift.
VH1 and SPIN magazine teamed up to present 'VH1 News Special: Grunge', an in-depth look at the Seattle-born movement that transformed popular music and the major players who made it happen.
This documentary examines the Seattle scene as it became the focus of a merging of punk rock, heavy metal, and innovation. Building from the grass roots, self-promoted and self-recorded until break-out success of bands like Nirvana brought the record industry to the Pacific Northwest, a phenomenon was born.
Tired of paying bills, Eddie Spaghetti took to the streets 27 years ago. Now the icon of Silver Lake, the hipster capital of Los Angeles, "The 5 Dollar Guy" is fascinating in so many ways. Entertainer, model recycler and member of the LGBT community, he shares with us the adventures of his daily life as an extraordinary homeless man. His story is the reflection of a contrasting and paradoxical America.
Few bands can get away with the cross-section of sleaze, rockabilly, and punk like the Supersuckers and still be both hilarious and talented. LIVE IN ORANGE CO. celebrates nearly two decades of the band's trawl through the Americana sewer with both their second live DVD and fourth live release. Fans should lap up this "unrated" package; it features a more blistering, electric set than its lone predecessor, LIVE IN ANAHEIM, and proves that the adage "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" applies to oversexed, Satan-honoring, greased-back gutter punks perhaps better than anything else. And that's a compliment.
We were there to celebrate our existence. To go chronologically through our repertoire and bring it to a sold out house at the fabulous Showbox in downtown Seattle, where we cut our teeth for the last 20 years. I mean, how long could it take to run through our history (or at least touch on most of the highlights)? Well, it turns out it took us about two and a half hours. That's right, there is about two and a half hours of glorious Supersuckers mayhem right here. Warts and all.
