Finished watching this 4 hour and 19 minute Tom Petty documentary last night. It is streaming on Netflix, and was well worth the time invested.

http://buy.soundcitymovie.com/Sound City Studios was located in the San Fernando Valley, amidst rows of dilapidated warehouses. The little-known recording studio housed a unique analog Neve recording console and had a reputation for recording drums. Artists such as Nirvana, Kyuss, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Fleetwood Mac, Neil Young, Rick Springfield, Tom Petty, Rage Against The Machine, and Slipknot recorded groundbreaking music at the studio. The film tells the story of the studio from its early days in 1969 until its closing in 2011. It then follows Dave Grohl's purchase of the studio's custom analog Neve console, which he moved to his personal studio, Studio 606. Rupert Neve is an English engineer who founded Neve Electronics in 1961, designed and manufactured the Neve 8028, "one of four in the world",[4] and is interviewed by Grohl in the film.[5] Famous musicians who recorded at Sound City reunite at Studio 606 for a jam session and to make an album of "all-new all-original songs, each one composed and recorded exclusively for the film within its own 24-hour session on that console."
Well, since I already know the ending.......Kudzu Guillotine wrote:

I saw it last year at UNC, which was sponsored by the Southern Folklife Collection at Wilson Library on campus. The event was hosted by Joe Boyd, which was originally supposed to be a screening of the Aretha Franklin documentary Amazing Grace. Unfortunately, she wouldn't allow the movie to be shown (it's not the first time). That said, it was cool to get an education in James Booker. Boyd also spoke about his book, White Bicycles, his involvement with the UFO Club in London, Pink Floyd, Nick Drake, etc. Dude was also kind enough to sign my copy of Fables of the Reconstruction. Not a bad evening at all.WarHenRecords wrote:Just watched this on Netflix the other day and thought it was a great.
Fathom Events, ole, Anthem and Zoe are excited to bring Rush | Time Stand Still to movie theatres nationwide for a larger-than-life one night event on Thursday, November 3!
The popularity of a rock band can often be built on the road. That is how Rush did it over their 40-year history. Building a bond with their fans that has carried them through countless gold and platinum albums and, eventually, into the Rock'n Roll Hall of Fame. But ... what happens if this unique, reciprocal relationship between Rush and their devoted fans may be severed?
In 2015, Rush went out for a 40th anniversary tour and it was rumored it may be their last tour of its kind. This might actually be the end of their life on the road. Rush | Time Stand Still is an event which covers the R40 tour and the unique relationship Rush have with their devoted fans.
Exclusive behind-the-scenes access to the band and crew throughout the tour provide the raw and vivid emotional undertones of this one-night event. At the core of the event are Rush's devoted fans. Their undying devotion and their quirky sense of ownership are on full display as the R40 tour comes to a crescendo in Los Angeles.
Personal stories highlight the importance Rush holds in their lives and the lasting impressions of their extensive catalog. For Rush, they are quick to acknowledge the role their fans have played in their success, which makes this tour so difficult.
Candid interviews with Geddy Lee, Alex Lifeson and Neil Peart bring Time Stand Still to an emotional conclusion for a band who built their career the old-fashioned way. One show at a time.
Featuring exclusive extras including Rush | A Salute to Kings - a 20-minute in-depth discussion with Gene Simmons (KISS), Chad Smith (Red Hot Chili Peppers), Taylor Hawkins (Foo Fighters), Ann & Nancy Wilson (Heart), Scott Gorham (Thin Lizzy), and the band's producer Nick Raskulinecz as they share their unique stories about Rush at home and away for over 40 years.
It's been years since I watched SKOM, but my lasting takeaway is that the film made James look like a much bigger tool than Lars, and that takes some doingtinnitus photography wrote:Some Kind Of Monster and Lemmy are both on Netflix now, so i finally saw them.

The Story of Jamican Music. Parts 1, 2, 3.
It still amazes me how such a small county of not much more than 2 million could create such the wonderful music forms of ska/rocksteady/reggae, which went so world wide, and is so loved throughout the world. Very few counties so small have created music forms that went truely global.
