Which reminds me, Foo Fighters are releasing a show where they travel around America recording songs in different studios along the way for their latest album. Think it's called Sonic Highway or similar.

Not sure whether I'm looking forward to it or not. Could be interesting and they seem nice enough guys, but...

[Frenchy]

It's like 'Rattle and Hum' never happened.

Nothing good ever came from band-produced rockumentary efforts.

[Jeremy]

When's the last time the Foo Fighters put out a good album?

[Otta]

Dunno, have never bought one. There are a couple of tracks I like from their last one though.

"Nothing good ever came from band-produced rockumentary efforts."

Nothing INTENTIONALLY good anyway - the Metallica one was gold from start to finish tho'

Should be said I also have a genuine soft spot for the Flaming Lips doc - "Fearless Freaks" - not sure that's band-produced

[El Pibe]

The Pixies reunion tour rockumentary was opssibly the most boring thing ever committed to celluloid (or flash memory these days)

Do you mean the old "year and a half in the life of Metallica" one where they recorded the black album then went on tour (including cool behind the scenes footage from the Freddy Mercury tribute concert)?

That was/is wicked.

Not seen the later ones where they're all angry and pissed off.

HBO making it, which gives me some hope it's be good.

[StraferJack]

Otta. I think it was ten years ago around st. Anger

El pibe. loud quiet loud? I liked that quite a lot. They are seemingly inherently dull people I would agree. But the dynamics and backstory? I'm all over that

Me too. Soooooo looking forward to next Friday's documentary :)

[????]

I am, a bit, but will still be pissed off that our scene down south will be overlooked again....when it was probably more influential for things that happened in the 80s in terms of clubs/fashion/acieeed etc

Has any one caught Enlightened at all, a strange little Laura Dern vehicle by HBO. About a big pharma/chem exec who has a breakdown then turns a new leaf after a rather new age treatment retreat, but her new priniples don't help much when you can't escape yourself or your life.

I'm actually really enjoying it, almost british style bleak comedy done with californian (nebraskan? I dunno) glow.

[Otta]

Ooo Mrs Otta mentioned that. Must check it out.

If you want to be totally baffled & enthralled at the same time, I suggest you watch one of the most ingenious films I've ever seen.

The Prestige - Sunday night 10.00pm BBC2

Be warned though, if you blink, you'll lose track of the plot. Plus you really have to watch it twice in order to figure out what you've just seen so hope it is either repeated or available on iplayer.

[Dopamine1979]

It's a good film. Bloody confusing though. Might need to rewtach it. Thanks for the heads up.

[aquarius moon]

Really like 'Our Girl' & 'The Driver'.

Both end this week but just saying.

[steveo]

Extreme Fishing with Robson Green

At first glance I read that as 'Fisting.'

[aquarius moon]

Our Girl

The first tv series in ages that made me actually 'feel' something.

Last episode was tonight & I'm still feeling it.

Well, he does yell "Get in!" quite a lot.

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

I rather enjoyed Our Girl. But to die on West Ham pitch is the pits.

[El Pibe]

[steveo]

Toast of London 2 is on

[El Pibe]

[steveo]
