how the boys went through hell and then turned that into an unreal album made in just ten days i’ll never know. still think that (and roadrunner) are their best full length bodies of work.

The perfect comfort movie. I’ve seen it countless times and I will watch it countless more over my lifetime.
Two american surfers travel the globe to follow the summer season through the hemispheres to find waves never before ridden. It’s a tight 92 minute documentary complete with jangly surf rock, narration from a guy that sounds like MLB commentator from the ’50s, and Tasty Waves.
The anthropological aspect local native fishermen witnessing the act of surfing for the first time is also really sick, they even hold a surf camp for some little Ghanaian kids.

IMO this is one of the finest rock-docs ever made. Not sure how close to reality it really is (maybe more "film" than "documentary"), but filmmaker Ondi Timoner followed the bands in question (Portland's Dandy Warhols and SF's Brian Jonestown Massacre) for seven years, amassing something like 2500 hours of footage, to craft a narrative that basically portrays a love/hate relationship between the bands (at one point, BJM frontman Anton Newcombe sends each member of Dandy Warhols a bullet with his/her name on it). I had the advantage of knowing both bands on their own terms -- the Dandys' Courtney Taylor-Taylor is a longtime friend, and I've been a fan of BJM for years, as my reviews/interviews would show -- so I can pick around a bit between what seems real (the music itself, life on the road, dealing with labels and the biz) and what seems contrived (the friction between the bands, Anton's seemingly over-the-top persona). The Dandys are THE most fun hang of all time -- their rehearsal space-cum-party cabin/clubhouse, the Odditorium in Portland, took up a full city block and hosted absolute ragers over the years (including an amazing night with David Bowie and band). The film is celebrating its 20th anniversary this year and Timoner has added scenes and additional narration from BJM tambourine player (!!) Joel Gion to bring the movie up to date and balance out some of the overblown-ness of the original version. Compulsive viewing, dead ahead: "Choose your own adventure" with the cameras rolling.

wild story of friends turned into rivals and the two vastly different directions a band can go under the influence of drugs and ego. the footage takes place over the course of a decade and is often pretty raw - overall an incredible doc

something about the calming minecraft music mixed with the sound of the rain hitting the window puts you at a different level of peace
