I did meet the producer and found him a joyless soul, so I'm not

Sun Jun 18, 8:49 PM ET
NEW YORK (Hollywood Reporter) - "Kill Your Idols," a documentary
covering three decades of underground New York bands from Teenage
Jesus & the Jerks to Sonic Youth to the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, has been
picked up for North American and Caribbean distribution by Palm
Pictures.
The film is part of a new wave of indie music docus that includes
fest circuit faves "American Hardcore" and "Too Tough to Die: A
Tribute to Johnny Ramone." Director S.A. Crary takes a jaundiced
look at the evolution of 1970s "no wave" music to today's
alternative music scene.
The feature took home a best New York documentary feature award at
the 2004 Tribeca Film Festival.
