The Glamour & The Squalor coloured vinyl soundtrack

thebrig

Pledged. Marco was an integral part of growing up in Seattle in the 90's. His mark on music is undeniable and he is an amazing guy. Missed out on tix to the movie on Wednesday night but hopeful that I get a chance to see this distributed in some way/shape/form.

Legendary Seattle DJ Marco Collins is the subject of the new SIFF film 'The Glamour and the Squalor' By Rachel Belle, Ron and Don Show Reporter

In 1991, Seattle's Marco Collins was the first DJ in the country to play Nirvana. He was the first to play a Pearl Jam song.

"We were just able to really forge a path in breaking a lot of artists nationally, even internationally," Marco says. "Beck being one of the artists that we broke, "Loser." Garbage, The Presidents of the United States. We were the first station to play the Foo Fighters, Prodigy. Weezer, I was the first person to play Weezer."

Marco was a DJ and music director at 107.7 The End. But about eight years in he started partying hard, hanging out with Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love and the other Seattle grunge rockers he befriended through his show.

"I sort of believed that I was kind of a rock star and I lived that lifestyle. My rule was, I have to be in bed by noon so that I could sleep from noon to six, wake up, be on the air by seven. Very little show prep, I kind of lived the show prep. It was crazy, that was a really crazy time. That really was the beginning of the unraveling, the beginning of the squalor."

The Glamour and the Squalor is the name of a new documentary about Marco Collins' rise and fall, and everything in between, And after several years of production, the film is finally debuting at SIFF on Wednesday.

"It's the fastest selling film this year at SIFF, which shocked me. We didn't even have time to tell our friends to buy tickets."

If you were into the 90's music scene, you will recognize everyone in this film.

"Carrie Brownstein from Portlandia, Sleater-Kinney," lists Marq Evans, the film's director. "Mike McCready, from Pearl Jam, not only is in the movie but scored the film too. There's a great interview we found with Kurt Cobain talking about, I don't want to spoil it, but talking about Marco and the End. That's a great little scene with Marco and Kurt. Patty Schemel from Hole, Matt Pinfield from MTV days, Shirley Manson from Garbage."

One of the other things the film highlights is Marco's eventual coming out.

"I just didn't feel comfortable coming out in the 90's. At that time I felt like it was career suicide. So coming out, for me, has been many stages. And now I really don't care who knows. But I do regret not having come out earlier because there were so many people that found out that I was gay who wrote me and said, 'Man, if we had only known that when we were kids, you were our hero, it really could have maybe helped us.' That's one of the biggest regrets I have."

Marco did not agree to do the film right away. He's trying to move forward, not go back.

"A radio company that I worked for in Sacramento asked me to do the Resurrection Show. And I was like, 'Hell no! I'm not being typecast as the resurrection guy!' And they were like, 'What if we give you a new music show, back-to-back?' And I'm like, 'Done!' I can tell stories for days about the 90's, the stuff that I can remember. But the new music is really where my heart's at, where my passion is. If you looked at what my playlist is, on my phone right now, nothing on this says 90's at all. It's just not where I'm at."

Not sure. Would love a vinyl release of Mike's score.

Hello Kickstarter friends,

As most of you know, we world premiered the film on Wednesday at the Egyptian Theatre in Seattle as part of the Seattle International Film Festival. The evening was absolutely amazing and filled with so much emotion and joy. We saw many of you at the premiere and appreciate your support so much. A standing ovation?! Incredible. Here are some pictures from the red carpet and after party:

There is another screening tonight at the Harvard Exit and we're proud to announce the film will be making its Los Angeles premiere on July 12 as part of Outfest, the world's largest LGBT film festival. Check out the digital guide that includes a great writeup about the film:
http://issuu.com/outfest/docs/2015_outfestlosangeles_filmguide_fi?e=1263115/13170842

We're having conversations with other festivals around the world and distributors about getting the film released wide.

Our goal is to have the film released by the end of the year, and qualifying backers will receive their copy of the film then. We can't wait to deliver that to you, whether it's the digital or physical version. If there are any rewards you're still waiting on beyond your copy of the film, please let us know. We've done our best to fulfill the rewards but know there are likely still some that are unfulfilled so we'd like to take care of that as soon as possible. Thank you for your patience that allowed us to get the film finished.

If you'd like to help expedite the release and ensure we are able to show the film to the widest audience possible, there are a few things that would really help us out:

1. Please consider donating to our new Kickstarter campaign that is helping fund distribution. This will pay for expenditures like marketing, pr, festivals and licensing the final music in perpetuity. We're offering one reward and it is "pledge what you want" starting at just $1. You'll receive a limited edition The Glamour & The Squalor poster created exclusively for this campaign (pictured below). You can read more about our campaign here:

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/glamoursqualorfilm/the-glamour-and-the-squalor-distribution

2. Rate us on IMDB if you've seen the film. This data helps show distributors that we're a film an audience likes and wants to see. You can rate us here:
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2817294/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1

3. Join our mail list to stay up to date on all things "Glamour" at glamoursqualorfilm.com

Thank you so much for all the support you have shown over the past 2 years. This film wouldn't have gotten made without you. Let's take it to the world!

Sincerely,

The Glamour & The Squalor crew

... hey everyone. i am the music supervisor for the film. :0) I should have come on here earlier to post about this, sorry about that, I guess my excuse is that I've been super busy since we use about 40 songs in the film that I've been wrestling with. but it's a music film so that is a good thing!

I wanted to let you know that not only did Mike do the awesome score music (with the equally awesome Barrett Jones), but we also include three pearl jam tracks (OK two PJ and one Bad Radio) in the film and Mike appears on camera offering insights too. and in the story, we have three really good PJ moments that we share, and yes you get a young Eddie cameo too. we think you will like...

regarding a soundtrack, yes I am working on that next. the current idea is to include tracks from artists that are part of Marcos story that we pulled out of Marcos personal collection from live in studio sessions that they did together over the years, perhaps with pieces of Mikes score interspersed too. another idea is to perhaps release some of Mikes score on vinyl. no promises yet since we are just getting started on figuring all of that out, and there's lots of rights that need to be acquired to do it and we are only going to put out an album if it is good - so give us some time, fingers crossed, and thanks for your patience interest and support of this project!
