too fucking funny

Just finished watching "The Love Story" tonight. I wish someone had taped and released a live recording of this band in their prime, especially the period right before the first album. The interviews were pretty fluid and informative. My only gripe was there was very little mention of the Blue Thumb recordings. Well, the price is pretty fucking steep too. Love is one of those bands where many a song provides chills and an instant step back to the place/time/mindspace you first heard 'em.
-
'We Jam Econo' and 'Kraftwerk and the Electronic Revolution' are two of my favs. 'You're Gonna Miss Me' is pretty great, too, albeit rather depressing.

Decline II: The Metal Years is amazing.
-
Decline II is my favorite music documentary ever, and one of my all time favorite movies. I would quote some favorite scenes, but the whole damn thing is brilliant. I'm particularly fond of Odin. The scene where Ozzy cooks breakfast is also amazing. Lemmy is the only person interviewed who comes out of this movie with his dignity intact.
Just watched a VH1 produced documentary last night on Canadian 80's metal band Anvil. Pretty damn funny, but nowhere up there with Decline II. Metallica's "Some Kind of Monster" is also hilarious. I can't believe they allowed a movie that portrays them as the coddled twats they are to be released, but I'm glad they did.
Metal documentaries seem to always be good for a laugh.
-
Devil in Daniel Johnston is great and I don't even like his music.
Heavy Load about a 3/5ths mentally retarded English punk band is also great.
-
rhyme & reason is an awesome hip hop doc.
gotta check out decline II

"Dig" is really good. Tried listening to the BJM before having seen the movie, but couldn't get into it. That changed after watching the film. Really funny and insightful.

It's Everything and Then It's Gone
"In the early 1970s, rubber was still king in Akron, Ohio. But just a few short years later, Akron?s most important product was, ever so briefly, music. In the mid-1970s, a group of local bands took over an old rubber workers? hang-out in downtown Akron called The Crypt and created a mix of punk and art rock that came to be known as ?the Akron Sound.? And for a while, it was almost ?the next big thing.? Almost.
It?s Everything, And Then It?s Gone, a PBS 45 & 49 production written and directed by Phil Hoffman and airing Tuesday, Aug. 5 at 8 p.m., takes viewers back to a time when the music really did mean everything. And for the men and women in these local bands, it was a way out of the factory.
?This is the story of those people, many of them children of rubber workers, who rode to the crest of the new wave and what happened to them after the attention turned away from Akron and away from them,? explains Hoffman in the opening of the documentary. Over the course of the hour-long program, Hoffman tells the story of bands like Devo, The Numbers Band, The Bizarros, The Rubber City Rebels, Tin Huey and The Waitresses and their flirtation with rock stardom.
The story of ?the Akron Sound? and It?s Everything, And Then It?s Gone really begins in the college bars along Kent?s Water Street in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The rise of Kent-based Joe Walsh to national rock'n'roll fame created the feeling that local bands could ?make it big? and inspired a movement of original music in groups like The Numbers Band, Devo, Tin Huey and others."
DVD available via Akron PBS station.
Dirt Road to Psychedelia: Austin TX in the '60s.
from Amazon - Producer/Director: Scott Conn 72min. 2008 With a folk singing Janis Joplin, the 13th Floor Elevators, peyote, LSD and the first psychedelic music venue in Texas, Austin was a fertile ground for the emerging counter culture of the 1960s. Seen as nonconformists, Beatnik inspired students were drawn together by folk, country and Blues music while dabbling with peyote and later exploring with LSD. Traditional values became challenged as they sought a lifestyle outside of the system. Civil Rights and the war in Vietnam were galvanizing factors in 1960s American society, but the advent of psychedelics made it electrified! This is how Austin became groovy.
They only have one left for $20
From me - Both are excellent

Does anyone have any good suggestions for Stones docs? I've seen "Gimme Shelter" but I was wondering if there was something that thoroughly covers their whole career.
-
^^Nice list. I think the only one I haven't seen is There Is No Authority (what is that?), and the only one I don't like is The Year Punk Broke.
Dig! is a surprisingly great movie. I could watch that shit right now, that's how much I like it, see? The only likeable character in it is Tina's high school boyfriend who looks like the monkeyman from Supergrass. After watching that movie I had that goddamned "Bohemian Like You" song stuck in my head for days. Just awful. Will watch again. Whut? Whut?
-

Ha ha ha, my high school boyfriend did play tambourine for Brian Jonestown for one tour, but he's not the dude in the documentary. Although that description could pretty much describe him too.
There is No Authority but Yourself is a Crass documentary... there was a thread somewhere on here where it was available in full online...

the problem with most music documentaries is that they fail to appeal to people who aren't music nerds. notable exceptions (that i've seen) include gimme shelter and mc5: a true testimonial.
jandek on corwood was one of the worst documentaries i've ever seen on any level
idm geeks must surely rejoice at the autechre/squarepusher footage in modulations
tina, i am surprised to not see athens ga inside out on that list.

I liked Jandek on Corwood. Nothing happens, then it's over. Like an episode of Seinfeld w/ an all mental defective cast.
-
full disclosure: my list was just me going to wiki page for "music documentaries" and listing all the ones I have seen
Where/when did you see You Weren't There? I wanna see that! Is it online?
-
I like Jandek on Corwood too. That doc is pretty divisive it seems. The way I see it, the film folds over on itself: the first half is people speculating about Jandek, offering fanciful (or... um, STUPID) interpretations, and projecting all kinds of personal desires and inecurities onto his work, the result being a probably completely inaccurate portrait of who he is; the second half reveals him to be an incredibly self-aware artist who enjoys fucking with his audience and who staunchly refuses to disclose anything about himself. And the kicker is, that isn't quite accurate either. So... I think it works.
I missed Kill Your Idols on that list. It's true, that movie is awful, judging from the bits of it I saw on IFC or Sundance or whatever. A complete and utter piece of shit.
-
Jandek on Corwood is worth it alone for the shots of his record covers with his songs playing over top of it in brief snippets. It's like lil commercials for his music. Cool.

It's true, complete dog shit! I think I saw it "Watch it now" on Netflix, but didn't make it through the whole thing.
I don't remember minding 1991:TYPB - but I only saw it years ago when I was in my Nirvana haze.

i don't remember that much besides a very very very very frustrated lydia lunch taking the piss out of EVERY YOUNG BAND ON EARTH it seemed ("young folks are STILL playing guitars! lame! how uncreative!! play a fucking tuba, for chrissakes!"), glenn branca doing kinda the same, less frustrated but drunker and some new bands of the time just embarassing themselves mostly by total blandness. funniest thing was this band (2 dudes, long hair? or were they more and hair shorter? see i CAN'T REMEMBER!) that had the biggest pseudo-ego (besides lunch) and that i NEVER EVER heard about before or after the doc. most idiotic interview partners i've ever seen. best dude was the drummer of bad seeds/bassplayer of teenage jesus and even he was a verbal poseur that seemed to be "reciting" his answers.

I watched TYPB with some friends not too long ago. It's okay. Everyone wore their clothes so big back then. HUGE! It's good for a laugh.
The footage is good, especially the Nirvana footage. I probably enjoyed trying to read Thurston Moore's various t-shirts best of all.
-
I remember my least favorite part of TYPB was Thurston standing outside Iggy's trailer going, "Here, Iggy, Iggy!" like he's calling a dog. Dude, fuck you. Iggy sees him, ignores him, looks vaguely bemused.
-
would love to see the akron doc.
my favs have already been mentioned:
dig, MC5 - true testimonial, american hardcore and the decline of western civilization 2 (especially the odin part)
and although not a true documentary, the Badfinger Behind the music is an entertaining hour
-
there are many problems with jandek on corwood - 1. the subject isn't really that interesting (except to fans of jandek) 2. the filmmakers' treatment of the subject makes it even less interesting and 3. the level of filmmaking is fairly hamfisted throughout.
documentaries like that one make me understand how an underground market based on nth generation shitty vhs dubs of concert footage could subsist for so long.
btw i'm half way through the patti smith dream of life documentary, which has potential despite (because?) crazy arty affectation
-
funniest thing was this band (2 dudes, long hair? or were they more and hair shorter? see i CAN'T REMEMBER!) that had the biggest pseudo-ego (besides lunch) and that i NEVER EVER heard about before or after the doc. most idiotic interview partners i've ever seen.
Oh, you must be talking about ARE Weapons, the greatest band to ever walk the streets of New York City. I think they just started playing again. Aren't we lucky?
-
The best one I've seen recently is "Great Australian Albums: The Saints '(I'm) Stranded'". Great early footage of the band, interviews with Chris Bailey, Ed Kuepper, record producer Rod Koe and other Australian musicians from the time. Covers the early years, but then stops right after that album. It made me love the LP all over again even though I never really stopped loving it. Like a Behind the Music doc, but done right.

If anything documentaries about subjects like Jandek or Roky Erickson or Half Japanese are problematic BECAUSE they try to appeal to an audience broader than those artists' existing cults.
I disagree that the filmmaker's treatment of the subject is boring. You're right that as a work of filmic art it is perfunctory but I don't go into a movie about Jandek expecting Tardkovsky or even Corman. A filmmaker's obsession with Jandek immediately suggests to me a near-total absence of creative fire -- Jandek is quintessentially uncinematic; there is no story to tell, and his body of work is founded on stasis and goofball spectrometry. Yeah, I said. So what? Wanna fight about it? That said, the movie is a perfectly decent essay about the artist and about the nature of fandom, the art of audience manipulation, and the power of mystique. It is more subtle than you give it credit for. What does anyone expect out of a film like this? Gimme Shelter?

problem with the saints doc is that they have all that early rare footage & only ever show 30 second snippets of it. which is my problem with so many music docs. they have all this rare footage & only ever show snippets then cut to some boring has been or flavour of the moment crapping on about how much it means to them(yawn)

woah yeah that looks way cool. I was just thinking the other day how little credit Dr. Feelgood gets for influencing UK punk. For years, from the name alone, I thought they were some bluesy semi-Dead shite like Canned Heat or something....
Has anyone mentioned the Theremin documentary?

I enjoyed the Scott Walker documentary very much.

Still wanting to see the one on Wild Man Fischer. There's one on The Holy Modal Rounders as well, but it the promos looked pretty amateurish. That one on Ramblin Jack Elliot was good. That stupid food fight with accents in The Year Punk Broke made me hate Dave Grohl and Nirvana. Thurston came off like a douchey Beck wanna be as well. Was not the ascent, but the decline. Chicago Punk Rock one "You Weren't There" came out recently. I'd like to check it out.

But, it's well done..

I've had it bookmarked for months but haven't checked it out yet...
End of the Century is pretty great. I really enjoyed that one, especially seeing it in San Francisco at an actual theater with a bunch of Ramones fans. We Jam Econo was great also.
I recently bought on old Betamax machine so I could burn my dubbed copy of Decline pt. 1 to DVD.
If anyone has some old bootleg footage on Beta, I could help transfer that to DVD.
It's pretty amazing that "Thurston came off like a douchey Beck wanna be..." 2 years before anyone heard of Beck. What happened to that crazy, mumbling, "weirdo", street musician Beck of 1994 anyway? You just don't see that guy anymore!

-
the Wesley Willis one was great and the recent BBC three part doc on American Folk was pretty interesting. They've just started another about British Meal/NWOBHM
i really like the new one, i would imagine that is what you are talking about WW JOYRIDES. there was also 'the daddy of rock and roll', which came out about six months before his death, and is kind of sad and sort of seems like it is using him as a subject for the directors to exploit. joyrides however handled his story in a very beautiful way. miss that guy....
-
watched HYPE last year, there are plenty of terrible bands in it, but there are also some good ones and i like the way it captures a place and time that really can't ever exist again in the way it did due to things like the internet taking full control of everything.
metallimania is more or less like a heavy metal parking lot kind of thing, and i have never seen the 'some kind of monster' movie that came years later, but the one i mentioned is actually really funny at parts... like the guy who invites the cameraman in to see his metallica collection which features something like 30 or 40 LPs and 12" singles of the band, and later when he is asked something about how one of the live versions sounds like or something (not quite, i forget), he mentions how he doesn't even have a turntable so he doesn't know.... GOLD.

the andre williams documentary is damn interesting. another one i didnt see mentioned is "devo - the men who make the music"

All Kindsa Girls - was lucky to see this at a film festival, don't think its been released on DVD, some great basement Real Kids footage, and the added bonus of talking to Fifi from Teengenerate/Firestarter about how the band has influenced him
Rough Cut and Ready Dubbed - think this was made by a couple of school kids, captures that moment in the British punk scene when it was splintering into post-punk, mod revival, 2-tone, Oi!, etc. Excellent Cockney Rejects footage and a great bit where the Purple Hearts, who look about 17 years old, are talking about holding their own against the Hells Angels.
Punk in London 1977 - German documentary with lots of great live footage plus Jimmy Pursey in flares and an interview with Andy Czezowski, the other Jewish svengali behind punk.
DOA - features Terry and the Idiots, a made-up band of unemployed youth who formed only to play for the documentary, plus all the usual britpunk suspects, classic interview with scagged-out Sid and Nancy
Not Dead Yet - doc about the Toronto scene in the 80s, most of the bands are pretty bad but worth watching for Youth Youth Youth. The CBC made a follow-up to this a few years ago which was really depressing, the moral of the story seemed to be that punk will ruin your life.
Punk Can Take It - I'm not a huge fan of the UK Subs but I liked how this short film was done in the style of a wartime newsreel and shows second-wave punk going strong
40 Minutes - Skinhead - this is basically the BBC following "Nazi" Chis Henderson from Combat 84 around for 40 minutes. Great (allegedly staged) brawl at the end.
Arena - Grant's Story - documentary about Sham 69 interspersed with Quadrophenia-style re-enactments of the skits from the 'That' Life' LP. Features Grant Fleming, the guitarist of the Kidz Next Door and early Inter City Firm casual, as the protagonist. The Sham 69 live footage is electrifying, the gig is on the constant tipping-point of mass violence with an audience average aged 16.
Angry Samoans: True Documentary - not great, but whatever, its the Angry Samoans
Take Three Girls - Dolly Mixture documentary that I got to see the other week, its as twee and charming as the band.
Oil City Confidential - really enjoyable Dr. Feelgood documentary ( apart from the over-use of clips from old movies). Makes Canvey Island look like the third word.
As a few people have said here, all the BBC docs are worth watching, my favourites are If It ain't Stiff (Stiff records) and More Than This: the Roxy Music Story. I think there was a whole thread on here about these.
I once saw a black and white documentary from the early 80s about the struggle to keep a punk club open in suburban LA while it was under constant attack from cops and cowboys. Had footage of Chavo-era Black Flag. Anyone know what its called or where I could see it again?

My friend forwarded me a link to download the 'Heavy Metal Britannica' documentary that aired on BBC4 over the weekend, but unfortunately all I got was the sound with no video. Still, an enjoyable listen last night with the lights out, focusing on the origins of British heavy metal, from Kinks through Yardbirds to Sabbath, Purple, Heep and beyond to Priest, Maiden, Motorhead etc. Nice attention paid to Edgar Broughton, Diamondhead, Budgie and some other relatively obscure but quality outfits. Definitely going to track down the full video of this. It's 90 minutes long, too.

If anything documentaries about subjects like Jandek or Roky Erickson or Half Japanese are problematic BECAUSE they try to appeal to an audience broader than those artists' existing cults.
I disagree that the filmmaker's treatment of the subject is boring. You're right that as a work of filmic art it is perfunctory but I don't go into a movie about Jandek expecting Tardkovsky or even Corman. A filmmaker's obsession with Jandek immediately suggests to me a near-total absence of creative fire -- Jandek is quintessentially uncinematic; there is no story to tell, and his body of work is founded on stasis and goofball spectrometry. Yeah, I said. So what? Wanna fight about it? That said, the movie is a perfectly decent essay about the artist and about the nature of fandom, the art of audience manipulation, and the power of mystique. It is more subtle than you give it credit for. What does anyone expect out of a film like this? Gimme Shelter?
yeah let's fight, jandek on corwood cage match stylee.
i am just pointing out that music snobs with really exacting standards about what music sucks will basically give a free pass to mediocre documentaries on the subject.

that documentary of US Maple recording Acre Thrills is excellent
???
Is this on youtube?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loni6SVagbw
Man, I completely blanked a bunch of stuff I was listening in the first half of the 00's for a while there and shit is just starting to come back to me now and US Maple was one of those bands that was pretty great during that time. I really liked the work up to Talker and Talker was kind of my favorite just because it had this dark and heavy atmosphere to it that I dug. Maybe it was Gira's production. Gotta download these albums again though.
Actually would love to get a bunch of that stuff on vinyl now since back then I was buying CDs too, and a lot of the new stuff coming out I could only find on CD. Would really love that Olivia Tremor Control shit on vinyl for example.
Kinda thinking that I'll have little place in my collection for Black Heart Procession or even Godspeed You Black Emperor these days though.

Yeah I caught a bit of this and it was good, I'm going to watch the whole thing "on demand" tonight. This is coming from someone who doesn't like metal.

Dunno if this was mentioned already, but the BBC Tropicalia documentary "Brasil, Brasil" is one of my all-time favorites.
Pt. 1: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lWZDqHe3Tws
I remember liking "Cocksucker Blues", but don't remember much besides the Stevie Wonder/Stones live jam session. "Eat The Document" is cool too.
-
I didn't like the Jandek documentary very much, thought it was pretty boring...it's cool there is a documentary I guess but a lot of the people they had talk said some pretty dumb stuff. Could have been done better I think.
30th Century Man was good, Kill Your Idols sucked...Joy Division was good.

In re. "music snobs": pot / kettle, etc. Oh, wait -- are you talking about me? We should propose to Ken that next year you and I have a fundraising cage match during the 'FMU marathon. Tears for Fears vs. Morio Agata. And maybe you can school me on the finer points of single-malt scotch and designer sneakers while we're at it!
As I said, I like the Jandek documentary, and I think you don't get it.

wow, no mention (that I could see with my quick read of this thread) of Hated?! wow. This documentary works on so many levels. Love GG? Hate GG? Think GG's silly? There's something for everyone. Kinda like Dig. I thought both bands featured were pure garbage, but what an amazing portrait of a bunch of chumps!
Aaaanway, Hated!
I just saw an amazing doc on VH1 about Soul Train that blew my mind.
a lot of the Behind The Music's are fun. Judas Priest for example.
As much as I love Roky, that doc was really rough to watch.(http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w113/jmelkmann_comics/ggreviewsposterlowres.jpg)

The original moonwalk footage alone was enough to blow my mind for a month. And yes, it doesn't take much to blow my mind. Have you seen any of the James Brown Future Shock dance show from the mid 70s? Also incredible dancing.

It's pretty amazing that "Thurston came off like a douchey Beck wanna be..." 2 years before anyone heard of Beck. What happened to that crazy, mumbling, "weirdo", street musician Beck of 1994 anyway? You just don't see that guy anymore!
He became a scientologist.
I think Beck grew up a Scientologist. His father was in the church very early on.
-
Oh, shit, yeah, Hated is a great film. Turned Mrs. Bull into an ardent G.G. fan.
We watched Michael Jackson: This Is It last weekend and enjoyed it immensely. MJ exhibits tremendous control even in his final days. Great moves, a very fine ear, and an acute sense of how to put music together -- a consummate professional. He seems kind, too.

forgot HATED for some reason! very good. could have been longer given the subject matter. of course i have various other gg related videos including some boot that has 3 talk show appearances... remember seeing a 'preview' for the still unfinished and most likely abandoned gg allin movie mark hejnar was going to do... talked with mark in person about a few other things but left the over-discussed gg movie out of conversation.

I went to see We Jam Econo right when it came out while I was visiting NYC. Richard Hell was sitting 2 seats away, which was especially weird when he pops up in the movie talking about the Minutemen.
The Ex doc, Beautiful Frenzy, has some cool moments, but is frustratingly truncated. I could deal with a more complete 90 minute film easy.

Yeah, I'd LOVE to see a more comprehensive GG documentary than Hated, and I've always wondered if Hejnar's ever going to finish his. The footage of the Jabbers running around the streets of Manchester before the Live Fast, Die Fast video is priceless!
-
I was just about to make this thread! Does anyone know where I can catch these flicks?
and the Roky one?? I think it once was on the youtubers but it is no longer.
the roky one is a Watch it Now movie on Netflix if you or anyone you know has a subscription to it. great movie.
I don't really know anything about netflix, do I gotta pay for it? eh
I know it's obviously not a doco but last night I watched 'Roy Orbison and Friends, A Black and White Night' and it's such beautifullywell shot. There's another good Roy doco though isn't there? I'd like to see the Townes Van Zandt one too.

There's a decent Factory Records doc called "Shadowplayers". The Day The Country Died was pretty good too.

No ones mentioned the Undertones Doc which I still can't dig up but am hoping is great.
Dig and Decline 2 are def MUST sees as mentioned by others.
Anyone mention the Half Japanese one? That was pretty interesting if I recall correctly.
Also not sure if Mayor of Sunset Strip qualifies but since he technically recorded with the GTOs I'm gonna throw it in. The insight into his sorta sad existence is pretty touching.
Live Forever: The Rise And Fall Of Brit Pop was cool to see this 'manufactured' scene's parallel with the British Gov't.
There's this great 6 part series of The History of American Song (BBC I believe) which was FANTASTIC. Focused more on pre 50s stuff but was really well done and extremely informative.
Also, this great british series (BBC?), the 6 (or 7) Stages of Rock which showed all the major rock cultures (punk, glam, rockabilly, mod, etc.). That was GREAT! Sorry I can't remember the real names of these!
Haven't had a chance to see Oil City Confidential but this is a great substitute:

Very awesome documentary on Half Japanese.
If you haven't seen this you won't be disappointed.
Features live performances and sums up Half Japanese's career up until 1994.
Includes live performances and great interviews with many different people including Moe Tucker(velvet underground), Penn Jilette(Penn and Teller) and of course Half Japanese.
One of my favorite scenes is when Penn Jillette tells the story of how he started 50 Skidillion Watts to release Half Japanese records funded by money from an appearance on Miami Vice and also how he "bought" the masters for Charmed Life.
-
The Flaming Lips "Fearless Freaks" Movie is great...even if ya hate on them. Some grim depressing stuff goes down. Wayne always seems like a likeable stand up dude. The footage of them playing in some warehouse with fire burning of the drums, trying to impress a label is awesome. I miss the loud.
Officer Brad Beesley (F'lips director) also made a doc on The Fat Possum Blues guys called "Hill Stomp Hollar" thats real good too...esp. the old folks home footage of Cedell Davis playing gtr. with spoons taped to his crippled hands. Awesome.
And I'll say the Wildman Fischer doc is great too.
-
Hated is great, totally entertaining...haven't seen that since Kim's NYC closed.
The Jandek doc was a good introduction to that guy, not a lot of answers, but I don't think I would have approached that whole insider mess without that doc.
The Devil and Daniel Johnston, just plain great movie, even if you would never buy an album.
Hype and Scratch are great docs, I love that director.
A couple I've seen lately on netflix are the runaways one...kind of sucky, it's shot like a 1990's MTV promo, but the stories are crazy and the doc about Mia Zapata from the Gits...crazy...worth watching, great band I never knew of.
Kurt and Courtney...I don't know who's worse, her or that english dickhead interviewer.
I forget the name of that Clash doc that came out recently, but it was great, so inspiring...except for Bono, what a douche.

Be Here To Love Me- Townes Van Zandt story
This was on the first page but didn't see anybody else address it. I think it's as well done as the Devil and Daniel Johnston, though they're nothing alike. A must if you like hicks or Townes and still interesting if you don't. I hate it when there's rapid-fire clips and never a full song, but you get to see him play several full songs in several decades. My favorite music doc so far.

anyone know of a good "smile" doc. been listening to the og boot for about a month straight. saw a couple on ebay but nothing on netflix besides beqach boys shit. of course a good beach boys doc would suffice but it doesn't seem like they'd ever allow anyone to release anything worth seeing until, at least maybe until Love is dead.
the other Love documentary is awesome.
Saw some of the Stone Roses BBC (?) doc on youtube, looked pretty good but I was only shown the parts where the sociopath band manager defends himself
I saw a really cool 45 minute long Appalachian music doc that i can't remember much about, came with a folkways CD of one of those singers that howled without any instrumentation. A NY guy went down in the 40's or 50's, to some remote mountain town where they didn't have electricity or running water. they just farmed and sat around all day singing old shanties, wish i still had that
i thought the BBC fall doc was ok, wouldn't mind a more in depth one though
you guys ever seen the beatles anthology? such a staple of growing up

Re: BB5
There's a pretty good doc around right now called "The Beach Boys and The Satan". It's German, covers general late 60s.
There's also a made for TV doc that ends with the death of DW. It's quite funny. Has a scene of DW & BW bumping into each other when BW is out jogging along the docks, & DW offers him some hamburgers! Think that one's called "Summer Dreams".

I,m currently working with a music documentary festival in Gothenburg. We have now started to search after movies for next years edition. So what I,m looking for is brand new ones still not released on DVD- We are also searching for older documentaries currently not on DVD. The Wild World of Hasil Hadkins is a good exemple. Have tried to find a contact for that one but with no luck. All help are much appreciated. Movies under post production is also of interest for us

Tribe Called doc seems like it would be boring.

I agree. Heard like a half-hour interview with Phife on the radio the other day and it was kinda sad. And definitely boring. Q-Tip is still bitter about whatever and doesn't like the movie. I imagine it might have some interesting historical info, but I have zero interest in hearing these guys talk. I'll probably still watch it though. I'd be way more into a De La Soul documentary though.

just saw Decline of Western Civilization Parts I and II back to back. i enjoyed both flicks. i liked part I more, mostly because i actually liked the bands, the footage was way better which kept me interested enough to not mind the more boring parts. the scene seemed way more varied and unique which kept it intriguing, rather than the 1000000s of metalhead clones in part II. part II was good but got too repetitive with the same old dumb ass vibes throughout the entire movie. live footage did not help and i skipped much of it. both movies were great at capturing the essence of the times and all that.
PART I:
live footage of X and FEAR was supremely awesome, both those bands stole the show. black flag and circle jerks footage was great too. the footage of THE CHURCH and the living spaces was sweet. the bags were ok i guess. i had never heard CATHOLIC DISCIPLINE and i thought that footage was pretty damn good. the germs live footage sucked cause darby was so fucked up. that might be awesome to some people but i didnt dig the performances much at all, especially compared to the other powerhouse performances in this doc. and that story about the dead painter was dumb and pathetic. of course the interviews with "eugene" and X-HEAD were great.
PART II:
alot of these bands were suuper lame, as were some of the band members interviewed. is there any genre gayer than 80s glam metal? obviously the most badass interviewed in the doc were LEMMY and OZZY. surprsingly ozzy was the most articulate and intelligent interviewee and he probably did more drugs than all of em combined. live footage of the bands pretty much sucked all around, no surprise there. this doc was more about the rocknroll lifestyle anyway which is pretty entertaining. the infamous pool scene was hard to watch, that WASP guy is such a dipshit. paul stanley on the bed surrounded by groupies was awesome. fun to watch stephen tyler talking very bluntly about sex, masturbation and drug use to the point of making the interviewer uncomfortable. overall the best part about this movie is the amount of complete tools you can make fun of.
-
the germs always sucked as a live band from everything i have heard and seen. it makes it that much more amazing how great they were on record i guess.

is there any genre gayer than 80s glam metal?
Yes, it is called "blues punk"

i worked on that movie. was pretty fun shoot. smoked dope with willie nelson. his sister was braiding his hair out at his place. and like caressing it in a pretty weird way, where everybody thought there might be some incest going on. well, maybe i'm the only one who thought it, but still.
everybody was slacking hard. somehow it came out pretty decent. though maybe its hard to fuck up a movie about a guy like townes van zant.

Saw it last weekend in Philly. It was good. Some of the info seemed to not be fact checked (Like Larry from in the red talking about the Terror Visions record I put out). Wish it talked a bit more about some of the early Reatards stuff and talked more about side projects. However alot of the footage talking with Jay was great.

Blog TipsHosting SupportAre We Not Men? The Official Devo Documentary
By EDW Lynch on July 10, 2012
Are We Not Men? is an upcoming authorized documentary about the influential punk rock/new wave band Devo (trailer). The film follows the band from its origins at Kent State University in the early 70s to its present day tours. Director Tony Pemberton is raising funds for the film on Kickstarter. It is scheduled to be completed in September 2012.
The ARE WE NOT MEN? film delves into the brains ? and the souls ? behind the concept, music, and spectacle of Devo. Sculpting its music, lyrics and visuals are two men whose personalities seem different but whose worldviews are the same: introspective Mark Mothersbaugh and outspoken Gerald Casale. It is Mark and Jerry?s cataclysmic, sometimes contentious, collaboration that birthed what we know as Devo. Rounding out the group are two more members whose position cements the group as a literal band of brothers ? Bob Mothersbaugh and Bob Casale. Yes, behind the curtain of this art-school fa?ade are two fascinating and sometimes fractious families, led by Akron, Ohio?s twisted version of Lennon & McCartney ? with all the genius and precariousness that would imply. It is the stories of these men ? together and apart ? that drive the engine that is ARE WE NOT MEN?

For any metal fans, this guy, Sam Dunn and his film company, Banger Films have done several good things. This is what kicked it all off, A Headbanger's Journey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ae_6lYRdu74. There is also Global Metal, a Rush doc, an Iron Maiden doc, and then a TV series Called Metal Evolution, Which my friend edited. Said friend is currently working on an Alice Cooper doc covering the "alcoholic years."

that song poem one is amazing!
there is a new one i forgot to mention about montreal first wave punk: the normals, the chromosomes, electric vomit(pre american devices rick trembles) and the 222s
its called mtl punk: the first wave, its not the greatest, but pretty interesting
also there is one about little rock arkansaw scene (embrace), the music aint that cool, but the story is
Watch this like 3 days ago, it was on TV. Some very cool footage and all but 45min isn't enough. Seems like it was unfinished or something. i mean they cut it short on the 222s story; no mention of the first singer that dissapeared just before recording the I Love Suvan/Studio bomp 45. No mention of that crazy story of the 222s/gangster association so they were forced to record " La Poupé qui fait Non" from the barrel of a gun...This is too juicy to not be inlcude in a music documentary about MTL punk...Also Rick trembles comment on the scene but i don,t think they mention E.Vomit once in the documentary. Still pretty cool overall though for all the crazy stories, footage and all.
The interview (recent not in the 70's...)with The Chromosomes drummer, man, this guy is a total mess, looks like psycho Bob on smack! very sick!

Looking forward to this:

http://dannysaysfilm.com/ (http://dannysaysfilm.com/)
"Danny Says is a documentary on the life and times of Danny Fields. Since 1966, Danny Fields has played a pivotal role in music and ?culture? of the late 20th century: working for the Doors, Cream, Lou Reed, Nico, Judy Collins and managing groundbreaking artists like the Stooges, the MC5 and the Ramones. Danny Says follows Fields from Phi Beta Kappa whiz-kid, to Harvard Law dropout, to the Warhol Silver Factory, to Director of Publicity at Elektra Records, to ?punk pioneer? and beyond. Danny?s taste and opinion, once deemed defiant and radical, has turned out to have been prescient. Danny Says is a story of marginal turning mainstream, avant garde turning prophetic, as Fields looks to the next generation."

someone should make a doc dart (crucifucks singer) documentary. he changed his name to 26 nowadays, renounced swearing, lives in like a fucking cave or something and made an amazing solo album called patricia about his therapist who got a restraining order on him.. oh and pretty much every Styrofoam cup you get anywhere says "dart" on top.. that's his father and the family made A LOT of money from that.

Searching for Sugarman was great.

That great documentary on L. Voag has resurfaced again :
http://vimeo.com/48432298#at=0
Luke Fowler & Kosten Koper - The Way Out, A Portrait Of Xentos Jones (32'00", UK, 2003)
Cited by Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton as "a classic of bric-a-brac nonconformity.", 'The Way Out' was a cut-up DIY concept LP released by the "mysterious" L.Voag (aka Xentos) in 1979. Situating himself in an inverted parallel universe where pop music was made by modernist, serialist composers and the avant-garde was left to those on the fringes of acceptance, Amos (aka Xentos) continued to produce and distribute a diverse mass of tape projects throughout the 80’s on his own label, Its War Boys, which spanned most known and unknown musical genres, under a myriad of multiple identities. Fowler/Koper's film creates a shape-shifting portrait of Xentos by interweaving snippets of his multifarious musical incarnations with new interviews, scripted scenes, found / filmed footage and unearthed Super-8 films by Xentos himself.
Conception, camera (DV/Super 8 ), script, sound recording: Luke Fowler & Kosten Koper.
Editing, Post-Production: Luke Fowler.
Note: There is a full list of credits at the end of the film citing sources for all music /interviews/film footage etc. featured, but our version of the film contained here within cuts off just before they roll.

I was invited to a friend's house to watch this, couldn't make it for whatever reason...asked my friends about it and they told me not to bother. Apparently Jeff Geggus is hard to watch, with a bunch of awkward shadow boxing and ridiculous comments throughout. I can't recall the particulars that were described to me, but it was enough to make me decide not to even watch it.

Now I've got to see it!

Does anyone know if the Teengenerate "Get Action" doc is available for the US yet? Last I heard the English subtitles were done, but it was only available in PAL.
A few I haven't seen mentioned on here (or might have missed):
Teen A Go Go ?About the mid to late 60s Fort Worth garage scene. Nomads, Larry and the Blue Notes, etc. Pretty cool.
Nothing Can Hurt Me (Big Star)
A Band Called Death
The Punk Singer (Kathleen Hanna)
Taqwacore ?Odd doc about Islamic punk bands.
All of those are on Netflix play-it-now.

Hopefully April. I'm involved with the process (it's in post-production). Everyone you might expect has already been interviewed except that one asshole, Dwid.

Do you call the band con-FRONT, or CON-front?

I just watched "Super Duper Alice Cooper" and have to say that I was pretty disappointed. Not enough archival footage is my main beef. Also, kind of glosses over parts of the story.

finally saw Unknown Passage after years of anticipation (but not wanting to order it off of amazon). think it's gonna be a holiday tradition for us cause it's got christmas trees and shit in it. plus what says seasons greetings better than fred and toody chain smoking and playing kino?
can't wait to see that clevo doc.

I was pretty blown away by the Scott Walker documentary. Not sure that I like too much of his music, but I think that he is pretty relatable and has some really cool things to say. Incidentally, the song 30 Century Man - from which the film gets its title - is a bad-mamma-jamma of a tune.

Alchemists of Sound -- the BBC Radiophonic Workshop doc -- is pretty good. I watched it again two nights ago. There's an Albert Ayler doc I watched recently (My Name is Albert Ayler) that was pretty good, considering I never thought a film on Ayler would see the light of day (I doubted there was enough of a demand for Ayler's story, although he certainly warranted a documentary film). It was filmed just before Don Ayler died. It helped put the pieces together as Albert (and Don) are underrepresented in print.
Thanks for posting that Circle Jerks doc. I didn't know it existed. I plan to watch it tonight.

A Boxful of Rocks (Lester Bangs - the El Cajon Years)
-
The BBC showed a new Clash documentary on New Years Day. Employs the usual Julian Temple tricks of emphasising the role of place (which I like) and throwing in lots of random footage (which I don't). Overly-long and tedious in parts but worth watching for the never-before-seen Clash footage from Rehearsal Rehearsals and the New Years Day '77 gig at the Roxy. I'm used to reading short snippets of political platitudes from them (lapped it up when I was younger) but seeing them ramble on un-edited really hits home how ridiculous and ill-informed the Clash were at times.

Jackie Shane was a soul singer, moved from Nashville to Toronto in the early 60s where the bulk of his (now her) career flourished. Best known for the single "Any Other Way," Jackie, played the R&B/ soul circuit around these parts for the better part of the 60s. Check it out if you have time. It's an hour long.

This Seeds / Sky Saxon doc should be entertaining. Saxon was a grade A weirdo. Even weirder, to me anyway, is that GNP Crescendo, their label from way back, released it. But then you see that they've done reissues of the catalog and it makes sense. This is, essentially, a feature length commercial for the reissues. Personally, I'm interested in hearing about Sky in the 70's - the shit he did with "Rainbow Starburst" (The Stars New Seeds Band / World Peace Band) is so fucked up!

Filmage: The Story of Descendents/All.
Just watched this. Now have Descendents tunes stuck in my head (not a bad thing)
Good doco on the band. I really liked the early history of the band and the footage of Milo and Bill's kids on stage towards the end.Also ssome great live footage.
Fortunately there is no Rollins and only minimal Keith Morris

That Destroy Cleveland documentary was such a tremendous letdown. Read about the main dude behind it being shitty, hitting a woman over pit beef or whatever, and was bummed on that but I'd already preordered/paid for it. Figured I'd give it a chance anyways, ended up being such schlock. Horrendously edited, anywhere from 3 to 6 simultaneous video feeds on screen at any given time, fliers blowing up in your face, so fucking lame. Had a ton of potential, the stories themselves were great, and there's some cool stuff in the videos but it's only on a fifth of the screen, but it was squandered on some seriously 8th grade level Windows Movie Maker bullshit. The trailer was deceptively well crafted given how bad the full movie is.

How has there never been a decent Velvets documentary? We got one about fucking Jandek for christ's sake!

and jarmusch is certainly taking his time with his stooges documentary...

Allegedly, they're really foraging the footage archives for this one. I hope it's nothing like his Neil Young doc. Like Scorsese's Dylan doc, it'll probably be four + hours and cover less than a third of their career, fine by me.

Reggae, the documentary Horace Over (director of Pressure) and Franco Rosso (director of Babylon) made about the huge reggae concert at Wembley Stadium in 1970. Plenty of skinheads, rudies, pop sociology and 70s British Black Power sentiment not to mention great tunes.

It's without a doubt aptly titled. I am hoping it's not just some annoying modern day wank fest and actually gets into some history. Clearly it's been covered in many places, but without some of it I worry this will be another "It Might Get Loud".

Salad Days.
DC didn't invent punk rock, nor should it be remembered as, or its "scene" take credit for any or all derivative forms thereof.

Yup.
I actually watched this. As pointless as i figures. More back patting.
Love the Stones but the whole Keef mythology is so corny and needs to stop

Went and saw "Amy," the other night. Don't right off this one, great, great doc. Amazing artist. I didn't know anything about her or her background. Plus, it's from the guy who made "Senna," which should automatically make your wanna see this one.

Senna was great, but I don;t give a fuck about Amy Winehouse. Sorry.

Far as I'm concerned, a modern major pop song about rehab sang by someone like that is pretty special. I just don't wanna hear it ever again.

Ditto.
Before switching to the 60s style pop that made her famous she was singing in a jazz style.
Regardless of the style tho, her voice was phenomenal at every stage of her tragically short life.
4 minutes in here is where to hear her unfold - startlingly intense. (In her pre-commercial success days)

Funnily enough, I was thinking of that performance when she got mentioned in this thread. Although it's not my normal kind of music, you could tell she was very talented and actually a pretty girl, before it all went tits up. I'm sure that had she not crossed over into commercial success, she would still be with us now.

About 10 minutes into the Keith Richards doc, not sure I will make it much longer.

Kathleen Hanna doc was surprisingly good.

Watched that one a while ago and agree. Was sort of expecting it to be bad but I really liked it. Now the Pussy Riot one I would never recommend. It was unwatchable.

It was pretty good yeah, I was also tickled by her fussing over all this shit from the past whilst sitting on the huge deck overlooking lush forests at Ad Roc's ten zillion dollar Connecticut modernist mansion or whatever that is.

This was a good documentary!! I was really surprised to be invited to it but I went and enjoyed it, I did find it embarrassing when they had musical interludes with her lyrics super-imposed on the screen, and the discussions about said deeply personal lyrics, but it was an interesting study of an interesting person being destroyed by fame. Her father and ex-husband come off as real opportunistic pricks.

I dunno if I mentioned this before but the doc about Fast Product and the Edinburgh bands is pretty great. Trailer here --->https://vimeo.com/128064710 (https://vimeo.com/128064710).

Oh nice, the Glen Campbell documentary is on Netflix. Looking forward to checking that out.
So this is not really what it advertises. About 99% a story about him being diagnosed with and touring with Alzheimer's. While it's very brave that they are so open with this, it's more about the disease than him. I especially do not recommend it to anyone with a history of Alzheimer's in their family. Kind of freaked me out.
-
Do they talk about him knocking Tanya tucker's teeth out of her head?

Nope, that is the exact stuff I was hoping for.

Very Extremely Dangerous, the Jerry McGill documentary, is definitely worth watching. It does go back and revisit his early days (through photos, Bill Eggleston footage and interviews with folks) and mention is made of his mid '70s grifting/bank robbing sprees, but it mostly focuses on his day-to-day life near the end of his life. I wish it would have focused more on the wild times. Roland Janes is in briefly and that's a good thing.

Watching "From Straight to Bizarre" about Zappa and his labels. Only about half way through but its pretty good thus far. My main complaint has nothing to do with the movie but that its a playlist and each "episode" is only like ten minutes long. Sort of annoying that it stops every ten minutes to go to the next video. I think its also out there on other sites but my computer is too old to handle a movie with out freezing constantly.
-
I'm late to it, but I watched the Benjamin Smoke doc last night and really enjoyed it.
There's a BC Studio doc out. It's streaming on (I think) Hulu. It's called Sound and Chaos: The Story of BC Studio. It's definitely worth checking out.

True. That one's great. The Lightnin' Hopkins and Mance Lipscomb films are very good. Particularly love the interviews with Mance's wife. She's not fucking around.

Recently watched Les Blanks' 'The Maestro: King Of The Cowboy Artists' on Netflix. Was not particularly into most of what The Maestro was up to artistically, but certainly a fine person with a great zeal for learning and applying what he learnt into making art & life.
Want a quilt with your art on it? Learn to sew & cross stitch.

I might like the Leon Russell the best of the music ones, but maybe that's cause it's sort of the least focused and the most Les Blank does whatever the hell he wants.

"The Punk Singer" was ok. It gets sad at the end and more like a documentary about Lyme Disease. Also, as mentioned, it must be nice to have a zillionaire boyfriend backing you up so you can do all these projects.

Watched Salad Days yesterday. It's not bad but I get tired of the story of music in DC being the story of Ian Mackeye. Yes he was in the best known bands to come out of the city but the story has been told and I was hoping they would spend a little more time with some of the other people and bands. I did like that a couple people talked about how they got sick of every show being a benefit or for a cause.

New BBC4 doc about Australian Rock (Vanda & Young really)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qlx5W0fCJWY

just downloaded:
The Easybeats to AC/DC: The Story of Aussie Rock
A film about the sound of Australian rock and the emergence of one of the world's greatest rock bands - AC/DC, or Acca Dacca as they are known in Australia, and the legendary music company, Albert Music (Alberts) that helped launched them on to the global rock scene.
Through the 1960s, 70s and 80s, Alberts created a house of hits in Australia that literally changed the sound of Australian popular music.
It started with the Easybeats and their international hit Friday On My Mind back in the 60s. In the 1970s when Australia was in the midst of a deep recession, a rough and ready pub rock sound emerged, characterised by bands like Rose Tattoo who were promoted by family-run company, Alberts. The raw power and fat guitar sound that characterised Aussie rock was pioneered by the Alberts and took Australia and the world by storm.
The sound of Aussie rock really exploded when the Alberts, a well-to-do family from the Sydney suburbs, joined forces with the Young?s, a Glasgow family who had emigrated to Australia. The result was AC/DC.
The documentary tells the story of how brothers Angus and Malcolm Young were produced by their older brother George and fellow Easybeats member Harry Vanda. Vanda and Young produced the band at Albert Studios and they were soon joined by the wild and charismatic lead singer Bon Scott.
Head of Alberts was Ted Albert - a quietly confident risk taker. He backed AC/DC for many years with rock-solid conviction when their type of music and fashion seemed completely at odds with a UK and US music scene dominated by punk. Then, in 1980, AC/DC's Back in Black album was a massive success around the world and the rest is history. The film retraces the band's explosion in popularity, the relentless touring and the tragic death of Bon Scott.
Even after Bon's death, and with the addition of Brian Johnson, the band went from strength to strength and remain hugely popular and one of the world's most legendary bands. Today, the Albert family remains a potent force in Australian music.

This was really interesting. Well worth watching. Still haven't immersed myself in the Easybeats so I was surprised to see what a tremendously rocking killer band they were.
Now I'd like a more thorough doc on the emergent punk scene - Saints, Radio Birdman et al
-
I was disappointed with the Color of Noise AmpRep doc. Too scattered and not enough focus on one thing. I just downloaded the "From Straight To Bizarre" Zappa doc and it was cool. Pretty exhaustive at about 2 and a half hours. Everything you wanted about Beefheart and Alice Cooper. Only gripe is they could have talked about some of Zappa's own releases on the labels a bit, which they didn't.
-
That one-man metal thing Vice did was really funny. I enjoyed seeing the instead of Xasthur's house. Really looked like the music - HAUNTED DOMESTIC BAT CAVE STYLE. Striborg section is also wild - forest dweller supreme.

Just watched Reggae in a Babylon on Hulu, it's about the scene in the Uk. Pretty short but good live performances by Steel Pulse and others I am not familiar with. The images of the people on the streets in the late 70's early 80's?, were worth it alone!!
That Damned documentary I thought was well done, of course all the early live stuff is amazing!! Hopefully they put some full 70's concert footage on there as extra.
-
Loved the Damned doc. Could have used some more 70's footage, there's not much in the extras. Also I thought the Captain would be annoying before I watched it & I was completely wrong. He's really funny & a great story teller.
-
I too loved The Damned documentary. I loved where it went. I almost shut it off though after the first 20 minutes due to its paint by numbers first wave of punk/London was in bad shape/nobody had ever seen anything like this before shtick.
-
First half of the Damned doc is great. Last half is a snooze fest.

There was a pretty good doco on BBC4 last night called "Story Of Skinhead" by Don Letts. Traced the history of skins from the ska/bluebeat era through Oi! and the more recent German/Polish neo-Nazi elements. Should be on iPlayer for those interested.
-
And on youtube:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xmNXCRnLQo

It's equally about the culture itself as much as the music, but Don Letts new Skinhead documentary is really good. There were two moments of repeated sound bites. Not sure how that slipped through the cracks, but it was weird.

Funny, I saw it last week and had a religious experience. I've read all the books, I've seen all the previous docs, etc....but this one touched me. I'd never heard the Mo Howard story. I've never heard their songs played that loud in surround sound. The Penetration(?) outtake and We Will Fall specifically gave me goose bumps. Never heard the story of just how the reunion came about what with the Velvet Goldmine soundtrack. I loved how it was broken up btwn the three cities. And...and...it was nice to see some stuff about the other post Stooges projects.
-
I saw the Beatles doc "8 Days A Week" and it was only okay. I read a few reviews and they all said even fans who know the story will find stuff here and that was pretty off base. If you've seen the anthology, there is really no need to see this. Some nice live footage that was cleaned up is really the only drawing point here. I will delve into the extras and see if any of the live footage there is worthwhile. Good as a Christmas present I guess.
The hip Hop Evolution series on Netflix rules. Hopefully more episodes coming.

I really enjoyed Hip-Hop Evolution...I am an old punk who distinctly remembers hearing Rappers Delight on AM radio when it came out and then hearing all the major important groups and discs discussed thanks to a friend who would buy all the rap stuff...Made me want to pull out some Marley Marl stuff!
Watched this short doc. on 1959 for jazz. If you are looking to get into jazz, checking out the albums discussed would be a perfect intro...

I am pretty sure I saw III but remember nothing about it...much like the Exploited....except at the Exploited, I remember I semi-tried to hit on a skinhead girl in a Judas Priest SFV tee...
-
"Decline III" is a classic look at 90's alcoholic punk kids. Spheris later dated (married?) one of the punk dudes interviewed in the movie. Huge age gap. The music kinda sucks, but the kids are fantastic.
-
Only listened to the one song off this album...Anyone watch the one about the Eagles of Death Metal Paris concert
Documenting the entire process from Iggy?s initial text to Homme asking for his help, through the album?s creation and the following tour, the film is narrated only by those who were there, with conversations moderated by celebrity chef, Anthony Bourdain.

Sums it up well. A couple of the folks featured were still around the scene in the early/mid-'00s. I was living just north of LA County, but my wife and her friends were in Orange County and around the Long Beach area. They'd see those dudes around at shows, pretty much doing the same thing. The music isn't very interesting. The folks interviewed are the reason to watch it. They were all about four of five years older than me.

26 minute 2017 documentary about Pensacola Florida punk.
PENSACOLA PUNKS
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C5aaYw076x0
"A documentary introducing the punk scene of Pensacola, FL. This movie is part of a larger historical project. The project has many parts to it. I gathered pictures, show flyers, music, oral histories, fan zines, and other materials to document Pensacola's punk scene through the decades and preserve them at Voices of Pensacola. This film is the result of just one of the many stories that I could follow. For updates on this and any other films on this subject, stay tuned."

curious about this one. Very into Group Inerane. They're from Niger and belong to the Tuareg ethnic group who span Mali and Niger.
(https://img.discogs.com/-4JP2W-6kMjKGNPKK-jIayamn-Q=/fit-in/300x300/filters:strip_icc():format(jpeg):mode_rgb():quality(40)/discogs-images/R-1211354-1207799238.jpeg.jpg)
Not really blues but definitely guitar music. Droney and awesome. Comparisons to velvet underground abound if you read about them online and the comparison isn't so far off base as a reference point (if a little :-\ ). i dont know enough about mali guitar music to tell if my bringing up this other group is naive .. but whatever...just killing time at work.

Saw a new documentary on the Go-Betweens that aired in cinemas over here in oz. Learned a few things from it, sure, but the overall mood just was not right. Very dramatic and aesthetically it missed the mark. I felt it could have looked less big, clean and bright at times to make the visuals complement the story and its themes. Certainly interesting things about the relationships and roles of non-core members came out though. Lindy still seems rather angry, this came out mostly in a Q & A with her and John Wilsteed that followed the screening.

I'm all for these docs, but I don't get where the audience lies for most of this shit. Go Betweens...Poison Idea...Cadillac Tramps? These bands are on the fringes of obscurity and I think it's kinda crazy (yet still cool) that full-length docs. being released as DVD's are being made about this stuff.
Not dissing any of these bands or docs. Just genuinely amazed that they exist.

Real People (found documentary, 1987)
REAL PEOPLE is a student-made documentary about "sex, drugs, and rock n' roll". It was filmed in 1987 by a group of students attending Southern Connecticut State University. I found what appears to be the only copy of this film in existence in a free-bin at a record store (Brass City Records in Waterbury, Connecticut).
The three names attributed to the creation of this movie are written on the VHS label as "WOODY, KEN, & TOM". They offer us a unique and candid look at life as it was during the late 80's in Connecticut.

Featuring boring historical punks: Ian MacKaye, Thurston Moore, Mike Watt, Henry Rollins that are in every fucking punk documentary. It wouldn't be taken seriously if it didn't feature these very important people who are the first authorities on shit formats and 1980s nostalgia bullshit. ::) Punk became became a joke and died out because of people collecting shit, wanting to document shit, save shit and worship the past. Hip-hop and rap isn't looking to the past and this is why it has triumphed and remained relevant throughout the decades.

Rob V from I Attack got in a fight with a moldy oldy punker at the premiere. Every time one of the out of touch old farts declared punk dead, Rob shouted "Pilsen".
It is funny that all of these Chi Fossils who act like pioneers were basically second wave trendies. Most of these geriatrics dropped out WAY early and are still milking their lineage. Fugk these mustache punks.

Her Aim Is True
https://youtu.be/zvlZQ8PvZYs
"The documentary Her Aim Is True, about legendary rock-n-roll photographer Jini Dellaccio. Dellaccio, now 96, is responsible for some of the most iconic photographs of the early 60′s Pacific Northwest rock-n-roll scene. She is best known for her documentation of the Seattle garage-rock groups the Sonics and the Wailers. Additionally, she has also worked with notable artist such as Neil Young, the Rolling Stones, the Beach Boys, and the Who. Although she did not become interested in rock photography until her late 40′s, she is widely recognized for her unique and creative approach. Dellaccio steered clear of the standard formulaic five-member line-up, instead photographing her subjects in more natural environments, often outdoors or in her home studio."

My first girlfriend bought me a copy of that Birdman anthology with the grey cover in 2001. She was going to a record store out of town, and I told her to pick it up if she spotted it. Weird to think that was 20 years ago, and that the band itself was from 40 years ago. And the band's name is a reference to a song from FIFTY years ago. Time fucking flies, man.

not sure if this ones been mentioned on here before. 'breaking a monster' a slick fly on the wall style doco about three black tweens who form a metal band called 'unlocking the truth'. they get 'discovered' after uploading footage to y/tube of themselves busking at times square. i stumbled upon this on the free to air indigenous channel here in aus last wk. fucking hated this at first. was revolted and could not stomach it all, but there was fuck all else on so went back to it and then got hooked. a cautionary tale of everything thats wrong about with the music biz. old white well to do music svengali type finds talented impressionable kids ready to mould. sends them off to various 'experts' to get uniformed up and tutored in the art of sucking. signing a 1.8 milion dollar contract with sony music a long the way.

turns out these kids, especially malcom the singer gtr player dude are not so easily moulded.

Have seen so will sum up for those low on time: a p-90 pick up is placed into a 70's Les Paul, a grown man acts like Marlon Brando in "The Wild One" and alters his voice to make himself sound like he just did 20 years of hard time in prison. You're welcome!

ps- there may also have been a montage of 1950's tin auto shop signs a la an episode of "American Pickers".

i loved when he was gonna go rockabilly, its like nobody told him beforehand that it would take more than two notes and one scale to play, haha. he gets to "actually sing". fucking dying over here, hahaha...
""I had long hair when I was a young teen, and smoked weed and listened to Led Zeppelin," he recalls. "But I was also the one who looked in the back of Cream magazine at the ads for Iggy Pop and Lou Reed."
By the time he was in high school, he was "not buying into '70s limousine rock. ... Most kids called me a freak because I liked David Bowie and they liked Elton John."
When he first heard the Sex Pistols at age 17, "It sounded like how I felt inside" and his punk-rock future was cast.
But now, "country, depression blues and folk are just as significant and inspiring as punk was," he says. "I want to be known as an American songwriter and not just a guy from some punk band from Orange County."
While the live shows don't include the album's big-name guest stars -- Bruce Springsteen, Brian Setzer -- "the response has just been amazing," he says.
The album has "not only helped me develop as a songwriter, but as a performer," he says. "I get to actually sing and not just scream."

That Oil Capital Underground sure was a snooze. I feel like the trailer suffices on its own. I was more interested in the after hours all ages dance club that gets mentioned as a show spot than I was in most of the bands featured. I got a soft spot for this kinda documentation generally and the production values are fine, but it just seemed like a pretty boring story... probably cause the scene was apparently not into drugs, so nothing much ever happened. Hard to believe after reading all those S.E. Hinton as a kid.

This is old, and has been mentioned before, but Kathleen Hannah has a doc on her called 'The Punk Singer" that is pretty good. The ending is really sad and I don't want to spoil it for anyone, but she's had some major issues later in life. Good doc, though.

Kathleen Hannah pops up a bit in the Joan Jett doc., which I just watched. Really have always loved her, especially as a true punk counter-version to the Barbie/Playboy model of womanhood of the '80s. I was constantly looking for punk girls that looked like her, but likely too a-scared to talk to them...Suitor, how does you do it??

i assume by reading all those 90s garage punk zines that combined the interests of untamed youth and HOT BABES

The reality: your generation never grew up wishing Juliana Hatfield, Tanya Donnely from Belly, Kat Hannah or that Scottish chick from Garbage was your girlfriend. Very sad.

Not a fan of the music, but this video is objectively better than the shit that was on MTV when that was still a thing. Frankly, as the father of a femme child, this kind of shit makes me happy, not giggle or finger point.
As someone who was the right age to fantasize about the aforementioned indie-pop women above, I can safely say my friends and I did not.

This Film Should Not Exist (Country Teasers doc) is a must-see. Not the biggest fan of music documentaries usually, but this is something else, up there with You're Gonna Miss Me & The Unknown Passage IMO. Saw it two days ago and have been listening to CT/The Rebel non-stop since.

I've been wanting to watch this for a long time! Where can I find it?

Not sure where/if it's available yet, my partner's organizing a screening of it so we got some kind of advance copy. Maybe ask the director if he'd share it (or organize a screening in your city?), https://www.lesfilmsfurax.com/contact/

Everybody who donated in advance to their IndieGoGo (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/this-film-should-not-exist#/) has been able to see it in advance. I can confirm it's fucking amazing.

On An Unknown Beach (https://guidedoc.tv/documentary/Unkown_beach-documentary-film/)
Not officially a music documentary, but still a quality feature that's partially about Bruce Russell banging garbage cans in an earthquake wreckage while rapping about Hermes Trismegistus.

Nice.

That great documentary on L. Voag has resurfaced again :
http://vimeo.com/48432298#at=0
Luke Fowler & Kosten Koper - The Way Out, A Portrait Of Xentos Jones (32'00", UK, 2003)
Cited by Nurse With Wound's Steven Stapleton as "a classic of bric-a-brac nonconformity.", 'The Way Out' was a cut-up DIY concept LP released by the "mysterious" L.Voag (aka Xentos) in 1979. Situating himself in an inverted parallel universe where pop music was made by modernist, serialist composers and the avant-garde was left to those on the fringes of acceptance, Amos (aka Xentos) continued to produce and distribute a diverse mass of tape projects throughout the 80’s on his own label, Its War Boys, which spanned most known and unknown musical genres, under a myriad of multiple identities. Fowler/Koper's film creates a shape-shifting portrait of Xentos by interweaving snippets of his multifarious musical incarnations with new interviews, scripted scenes, found / filmed footage and unearthed Super-8 films by Xentos himself.
Conception, camera (DV/Super 8 ), script, sound recording: Luke Fowler & Kosten Koper.
Editing, Post-Production: Luke Fowler.
Note: There is a full list of credits at the end of the film citing sources for all music /interviews/film footage etc. featured, but our version of the film contained here within cuts off just before they roll.
hell yeah, just heard about this and found it if anyone else would be curious in watching it now

I have a screening in the works for this film should not exist here in london ontario. Toronto/Hamilton and ontario peeps take note. Unless you're doing screenings of your own. Will be an outdoor screening so no worries about the whole covid thing.
