X: The Unheard Music (clip)

From the absolutely brilliant 1986 documentary about one of America's premier pioneering punk music legends. The band X created utterly original urban neo roots music by fusing rockabilly with punk rock, and "Unheard Music" is a beautiful visual analogue of what they were all about. This band could have and should have been hugely successful, but they were simply too far ahead of - and defiantly out of step with - their time to gain much traction with a mass market conditioned toward MTV-friendly fodder like Duran Duran. (Your fucking loss, assholes.) So you say you're a fan of Warped Tour bands like Green Day, punkie? Then watch "The Unheard Music" and learn the history of one far more talented band who busted their fucking humps for little to no thanks while paving the way for their successors.
