There might be some interest here for Goodnight Brooklyn, a documentary about Death By Audio (the venue). Probably has A Place To Bury Strangers Content.
Talk about the Fender Jazzmaster, Jaguar, and any other offset waist guitars with us!

I usually find that the more I'm interested in something the worse the documentary is, it's much easier to enjoy somethign you know nothing about in my experience. Usually the main culprit is the 'talking heads', who tend to be chosen for who they are rather than what they know or have to say.PJazzmaster wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 4:50 amI finally watched "Conny Plank - the potential of noise"
Unfortunately my (high) expectations for this documentary were not met but it was still nice to watch.

With that in mind, the Twisted Sister documentary is amazing. 2+ hours about their career before even signing a record deal. Candid and captivating (and gloriously capitalist) look into the era. I can't recommend this one enough.shadowplay wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 5:22 amI usually find that the more I'm interested in something the worse the documentary is, it's much easier to enjoy somethign you know nothing about in my experience.

I think one of the absolute nadirs in this is one of the (manmanymanymanymany) Nick Cave docs where IIRC some kid is on making a comment despite barely having heard him and telling the camera that he's yet to get onto disc two of some greatest hits set.
Btw OT (and sorry OP) I was thinking you might like this record.

Thanks. I've seen the B-Movie one and will check your other recommendations.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 6:16 amWith that in mind, the Twisted Sister documentary is amazing. 2+ hours about their career before even signing a record deal.

The B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989 doc about Berlin has some amazing archival footage and is well done (and better reflects my record collection). I'm not sure why this didn't have a higher profile. In English and/or German. (The DVD is pretty cheap from amazon.de, with surprisingly cheap shipping, €5 or so to the US)
The Soundbreaking documentary series (on PBS) has been really fun, too. (We're still in the middle of it). Produced by George Martin, thematic looks at recorded sound: episodes focus on producers, multitrack recording, the human voice, etc.
The B-Movie looks really cool, gotta watch that at some point.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 6:16 amThe B-Movie: Lust & Sound in West Berlin 1979-1989 doc about Berlin has some amazing archival footage and is well done (and better reflects my record collection).

I'd honestly rather spend four seasons on the pear of anguish than hear even one Twisted Sister song or see even a glimpse of Dee Snyders monstrous widow twanky puss, so that will be hard pass.cestlamort wrote: ↑Wed May 02, 2018 6:16 am

It's much, much better than I could have imagined. It's more about the culture and economy of the music industry than the band.shadowplay wrote: ↑Thu May 03, 2018 1:52 am
