Chicago label Thrill Jockey has released a DVD titled ‘Looking for a Thrill’
which is a collection of personal stories about defining musical moments of
inspiration for 112 musicians who themselves have inspired so many. The interviews
on the DVD include recollections by Mike Watt, Thurston Moore, Hamid Drake,
Bjork, Yo La Tengo, Tortoise, the Butchies, Jon Spencer, Vic Chesnutt, Kurt
Wagner, Fred Anderson, and Giant Sand – as well as members of the Urinals, Califone,
Jesus Lizard, the Boredoms, Mekons, Slint, the Sea and Cake, and Calexico.

The film has been directed by Braden King. Although all were asked one simple
question – to tell a story about a musical moment that inspired – the responses
are as varied as the people interviewed. The film is a great resource for all
those interested in the independent musical mind.
