Over a year ago, I did a FilmCouch segment on High School Record, an indie comedy that played at Sundance and SXSW in 2005, and then was basically never heard from again. I was reminded of the film because I started getting really into this girl punk band Mika Miko, which is fronted by Jenna Thornhill and Jennifer Clavin, the two lead actresses in Record. Then, earlier this year, I started listening to No Age, a noise rock band consisting of two young men, one of whom, Dean Allen Spunt, also starred in Record. Looks like all the dots got connected, because now hipster music site Pitchfork is hosting streams of the film, in its entirety but broken into 8 chapters, for one week only. You can check it out here; I believe the week ends on Friday, so hurry up.
