YACHTYACHT: Don't Put Out [7-inch]Don't Put Out [7-inch] (2010)Marriage Records Reviewer Rating: 4 Contributed by: JeloneJelone (others by this writer | submit your own) For a made-for-TV movie, Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains is a surprisingly smart punk flick (featuring a very young Diane Lane and Laura Dern) that predicts the riot grrl movement.

For a made-for-TV movie, Ladies and Gentleman, The Fabulous Stains is a surprisingly smart punk flick (featuring a very young Diane Lane and Laura Dern) that predicts the riot grrl movement. It chronicles the rise and fall of Lane 'n' Dern's band, the Fabulous Stains, and the impact their violent feminist music has on America's lady-youth. At a slight 87 minutes, it's not a perfect film--the rise/fall dynamic is forced and naive and there are some really stupid movie clichés--but the soundtrack, which blends glam rock, punk and reggae, is spot-on, perhaps helped by a bevy of icons, including but not limited to Paul Simonon from the Clash and Steve Jones and Paul Cook from the Sex Pistols. Lane, for her part, is affecting in one of her first film roles, playing fucked-up teenage orphan Corinne Burns with a mix of anger and fragility, determination and nihilism.
