I'm currently on a musician documentary kick via Netflix. This weekend I watched
The Devil and Daniel Johnston and found it positively riveting. I mentioned this on my radio show this evening and got a call suggesting I check out the Roky Erickson documentary
You're Gonna Miss Me (which would thus make it a mentally ill musician documentary kick). What other musician documentaries do I need to see?
Half Japanese - The Band That Would Be King
ReplyDeleteFugazi - Instrument
Theremin - An Electronic Odyssey
Guided By Voices - Watch Me Jumpstart
Style Wars
Pavement - Slow Century
The Minutemen - We Jam Econo
I haven't seen these yet but I'm under the impression they're worth catching:
Jandek On Corwood
Dig!
Bob Dylan - Don't Look Back
Ah Baconfat, I knew I could count on you for good suggestions.
ReplyDeletei would also add the townes van zandt documentary to that list
ReplyDeleteand sudo documentarys
meeting ppl is easy - radiohead
live tonight sold out - nirvana
the last 2 we have on vhs if you want and we have the pavement/minutemen/townes ones on dvd if netflix is to slow..

I forgot to mention the K Records doc, called The Shield Around The K.
ReplyDeleteOh, and the Wilco movie, which I'm sure you've already seen.
Luna: Tell Me Do You Miss Me
