watched the laurel canyon documentary about the so cal music scene in the 60s and early 70s. i’ve got a fond sense of nostalgia for that time and place, good watch with lots of old pictures and footage. i’m not sure we’ll ever see that kind of art and music culture develop again in such concentration.
303abuser I watched that a while back myself. Really good doc, and some great information about how that music came about.
303abuser Have a fondness for that era too for some reason.
Wheres the documentary on?
303abuser
Find the documentary about The Eagles. Holy moly were they shitheads. Great doc but you’ll leave it hating their music even more than The Dude.
Kells77 for all the docu-series that run too long, this could’ve been twice the length and i would’ve been happy.
Sounds good that, I’ll check it out
Mad_Cyril i watched it on crave tv, which i believe is canadian only.
and if you’re like me, you’re probably a hippy at heart, hence the nostalgia lol.
303abuser Probably true!
Have you read Barney Hoskin’s book about all that?
jonattonyeah i fucking hate the eagles, bland fucking garbage. thanks, now i’m upset. i’ll have to listen to some ccr to clean out my ears.
jonattonyeah
Is this on netflix, mate?
It’s a really good doc, my man. Really good. I hated The Eagles and left the doc with piece of mind - I was right all along. You gotta watch it.
303abuser I can’t help but sing along to lying eyes.
jonattonyeah it still sounds like torture.
I did watch a documentary about the Boom Town Rats last week which was ok. Bob did came across as a bit tool though.
Dubman That’s because he is a tool. And the Boom Town Rats were shit. A documentary about them is utterly ludicrous.
Along_the_Wire It was never really a fan myself. I did buy that Monday song when it came out. I just like music documentaries.
the Outback Killer was 4 hours of my life i will never get back.
Christian I thought it was alright. Granted I was stoned.
There’s a 4 part documentary on C4 about the Peter Falconio murder that’s worth a watch.
Matt was loads of gapping holes that they mentioned but never confirmed if it happened (i.e insurance scam etc)
Christian ha.. I don’t even remember that bit. Thinking about how much music I’ve bought while stoned, that sounded class at the time, but in fact turned out to be shit, I’d like to retract my previous statement.
-si-
It was here in the States but just checked and not anymore. Is available on Prime if you have that.
I was sure there was a Netflix thread but WW2 in colour series on there is brilliant, if that’s your bag.
