b comme blog

 J'ai toujours trouvé le mot blog assez moche. C'est encore plus moche quand je dois avouer qu'utilisant moi-même cet outil, ça fait de moi un blogueur.

I always thought the word blog sounds ugly. But it sounds even worse that using that tool myself, i'm a blogger.

ANVIL, ‘MAKE IT UP TO YOU’

In 1977, best friends Robb Reiner and Lips made a pact to rock together forever. Their band, Anvil, hailed as the “demi-gods of Canadian metal, ” influenced a musical generation that includes Metallica, Slayer, and Anthrax, despite never hitting the big time.
In the early eighties, Anvil fell into obscurity and desperately tryed to crawl their way out.

In 2005, Lips and Robb are now in their 50’s, Anvil is still trying.

“Director Sacha Gervasi has concocted a wonderful and often hilarious account of Anvil’s last-ditch quest for elusive fame and fortune. His ingenious fimmaking may first lead you to think this a mockumentary, but it isn’t. It’s fascinating to see the reality of their day-to-day struggles, including a misguided European tour, and engaging in antics on the road - which is not always lined with fans. Gervasi even finds a softer center to this raucous film, introducing us to band members’ ever-supportive, but long-suffering, families.”

Documentary “Anvil! The Story of Anvil”, 2008 directed by Sacha Gervasi.
