I could have done without the Janeway, but Sharon Jones at the piano for Wade In The Water is fantastic.

Totally agree with you Rod. I tend to think Sharon Jones oversings but she was just right on that song.

tough to combine black flag, howling wolf, link wray and devo with proper proportions..........unless you are the quadrajets.

This quote was shown to a Quadrajet tonight. He thought it ruled.

watched a Rock Doc on Pink Floyd earlier on AXSTV. Kind of bizarre/low budget, especially since they used almost no actual Pink Floyd music in it. There was a bunch of generic, Floyd-ish stuff in the background, but its like they couldn't afford the rights to any of the actual songs

I flipped back and forth to it. Lots of personal video and diary entries. Very intimate. I liked what I saw

has anyone seen this one?

I am dying to but no way it will ever come to Chico, so it will have to be Netflix or something of that ilk. I remember Orion vividly, he played around Asheville a lot when he was on his roll but I was too young to see the majesty

Last night on the train ride home a overheard a college age kid describe some Rush documentary as the one movie he would choose if he could only choose 1 to bring to a deserted island. No offense Rush fans, but I have a hard time believing that anything about Rush could be that good. Does it exist?

A Poem Is A Naked Person (1974/2015)
Originally a work for hire by Leon Russell, A Poem Is A Naked Person was filmed by Les Blank during 1972-74, while living at the Russell/Shelter records recording studio compound on Grand Lake Of The Cherokees in NE Oklahoma. It is feature-length, with appearances by Willie Nelson, George Jones and some amazing characters in Oklahoma, where much of it was shot. At least two major critics have declared it the best film ever made on Rock and Roll.

This film was never released, and has rarely been shown in public except at non profit institutions with Blank in attendance. After Les Blank’s death in 2013, his son Harrod Blank came to terms with Leon Russell to re-master and release the film. Criterion and Janus Films will be distributing the film in North America. We will be offering the DVD/Blu Ray as soon as it becomes available.

Haven't seen it but the new Amy Winehouse documentary supposedly kicks all kinds of ass.

Haven't seen it either but I'm hearing the same thing. In all honesty, I was never a fan but that doesn't mean I wouldn't watch the movie.

I am a fairly big fan; I believe I first heard of her from a tweet by Jason Isbell. Such a sad story, and the attitude and jokes that came out right after her death bothered me in a serious way. I can't wait to watch this.

When I was 11 years old T - Rex were the first band I got into, I was nuts about them and bought everything going. Still play Electric Warrior and The Greatest Hits albums.
As a big fan of the blues now, I was totally oblivious to the fact that back then Bolan was just re-channeling loads of old blues riffs and glamming them up, albeit brilliantly..

My wife and I were in Europe summer of 2011, doing Black Crowes tour. We AirbNBed an apt in Edinburgh on Leith St for 8 days and were living it up. One day we came out of the door of our building and saw this on the newstand, "Our Amy dead." As I remember it, it was the day after the mass shooting in Norway. We had traveled from Brussels to Edinburgh the day of the Norway massacre and then the next day woke up to Amy's death. I recall being asked at the train station in London (in transit from Brussels to Edinburgh) if we had been in Norway.

Five-Eight: WEIRDO REBORN documentary
This is the story of the band Five-Eight, from Athens, Georgia. Twenty-one years ago, they made a great record called WEIRDO, but what was released to stores was sonically damaged by record company meddling. In 2015, Five-Eight went back to WEIRDO and made things right. This is a story about mental illness and passion and friendship and sticking to your guns for the love of music.
