Music Documentaries – the good, the great, the banned
Music docs. There's a zillion of them. Here's a quick guide to a few available at TPL and some places to start discovering way more. For those really hard-to-find flicks, head over to Queen Video or Suspect Video or any underground indie video shop I assure you they have 1000% more underground stuff than that website that rhymes with "stix". And really great people working there too!!
Here are some recent and/or awesome ones:
Sound City: the trailer
Marley
Dave Chappelle's Block Party
