The Mountain Goats, “The Life of the World to Come”, A Film by Rian Johnson (TRT 51 mins)
In this film by Rian Johnson (Brick, the Brothers Bloom), John Darnielle performs “The Life of the World to Come†on piano and guitar. Shot in the same building where, as an eight-year-old piano student and new transplant to Claremont, he performed Bach minuets for the state examiner, The Life of the World to Come takes the songs from the album and restores them to their raw original states: skin, blood, and bone.  www.mountain-goats.com

“In the late 1970s, the ‘greatest city in the world’ was teetering on the edge of total chaos. A failed economy, crime and en masse housing corruption gave way to a city in crisis. Yet out of the economic and social strife that held the ‘Big Apple’ hostage, a family of homegrown cultures that would forever change the world began to emerge. Downtown Calling not only documents, in detail, the evolution of New York City’s fertile music and art subculture during this period, but how its collective output continues to play a prominent, driving role in the international fashion, art and music industries today.”
