Also "Watch me jump-start" about GBV is good.

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart (Wilco)

American Hardcore - covers all the big names and some of the smaller names in H/C up to about '85

Billy Childish is Dead

Cool and Crazy - lovely quirky film about a Norwegian men's choir

I Just Wasn't Made For These Times (Brian Wilson)

Rock in Reykjavik - I think it dates from about 80 or 81 about Icelandic punk rock

There's one about Swiss punk from the same period that's good but I forget the name

Be Here to Love Me - Townes Van Zandt..beautiful and so sad

Heartworn Highways - nice doc about 70's country

I like the Nomi Song about Klaus Nomi because I like Klaus Nomi.

depecehe mode '101'
madonna 'truth or dare'
talking heads 'stop making sense'
bowie 'cracked actor'

also a new recent discovery -
'the compleat beatles'
: sort of an early 1980's equivalent of the 10 hour ANTHOLOGY box set, but telling the story in 90 minutes zipping through the best bits of their career like it's azz is on fire and in giddy, lurid fashion. it's on YOU TUBE.

is pretty cool if you're in the right mood.

Also saw a great hip-hop tour documentary recently called 'Backstage', wasn't anything too amazing just quite amusing, including one particularly beautiful scene where DMX and Jay-Z have a rap battle and then one of what I think is just a room service guy from the hotel they're staying in comes in too and completely slays the crowd.

...is unmissable. Watch it, then go back to the beginning, and watch it again (with commentary). And what the hell, watch it a third time (but just skip to the music this time).

Bluegrass Journey's also worth a look, if you like yon Appalachian sorta thang.

I love:
We Jame Econo: The Story of The Minutemen
Devil and Daniel Johnston
Fearless Freaks
Some Kind of Monster
Watch me Jumpstart
Dig!
Derailroaded
End of the Century
No Direction Home

Really want to see Searching for the Wrong Eyed Jesus. Wasn't that keen on the Wilco docu - great band though.

Wow! Those guys do some crazy shit!!!

future is unwritten? need to see, but there's been sooo much about the clash etc over the years...

is defintely the worst. it is the most pretenious thing i have ever sen from the makers of one of the best albums ever made. they treat the last show like it was a defining moment in history.

or whatever it's called, the Pixies documentary? Is it worth watching or a bit rubbish?

There is a Metallica documentary i saw a few years ago (not Some Kind of Monster) about the making of the black album i believe. In places it is like Spinal Tap. There is one scene where one of the guitar players is fret wanking all over the place in the studio, then the producer is all like "hey i want some kick ass solo from you, what the fuck is this mr world guitar magazine player of the year, huh?" then the guitarist goes in the whiniest little voice ever "shut up man i'm just warming up!" Hillarious.

& cock sucker blues, Oh say can you scream is quite amusing if you are interested in what Sebastian Bach was like 20 years ago......cock then cock now...fuckin amazing live front man tho.

that is all.

I'd suggest "Don't Need You: The Herstory of Riot Grrrl" (Check out the trailer here:<A href=http://www.urbancowgirlproductions.com/dont/index.html</A>) and another enjoyable watch is the Mates of State documentary, "Two Of Us". Both are pretty cheap on Amazon if you've got a multi-region player...

Its name has even entered the wondrous realms of popular culture.
