I just found the documentary "Be Here to Love Me" about Townes Van Zandt free to watch on SnagFilms. I started a discussion thread above. Check out the movie here http://www.snagfilms.com/films/title/be_here_to_love_me/ and then leave your thoughts in the discussion above. I haven't watched it yet, so I haven't commented on it yet. I hope to get a chance over the weekend.

Now that it's winter and COLD outside (at least here in the North East!) should we start this club back up?

Gordon Quinn, Artistic Director of Kartemquin Films testifies at the FCC Broadband Field Hearing on Small Business on December 21 in Chicago. In his testimony Quinn called for increased regulation to ensure universal service, accessibility and neutral availability of content across platforms. Quinn also called for the protection of public access TV stating: "In thinking about how broadband should roll out, we should look at some of the lessons learned from public access."

Forgive me for the multiple postings - I can't get the video to embed. Have any of you seen the music doc "It Might Get Loud"? I highly recommend seeing it preferably in a theater
If anyone else has seen it and wants to discuss, we can start a discussion here.

I just added a discussion forum for our new film "Kate Taylor: Tunes from the Tipi and Other Songs From Home" above. Or you can click here to go to it.

I'm sorry I've been slacking on the films! Here's an 8 minute one on a 70 something year old Chinese woman who does hip hop in Beijing. It reminded me how much I'd like to go back and visit.

Kelly - thanks for getting this conversation started. I am looking forward to watching the film and responding to what you've said here. Could you copy your comments about the film here so we can archive the film's discussion. You've gotten me excited to watch it now!

Standing in the Shadows of Motown
-Was happy they gave a nod to Louis ( "That Chick's Too Young to Fry") Jordan who is a personal favorite.
-Great On the Road annecdotes
-Wonderful singers who sang the standards for this film.
-Nice filming. Particularly loved the intro to the film
Is a two disc film. Have only seen first and can't wait to see second-- extra footage, more songs, etc
This film makes you appreciate every unsung hero- every talented musician who is out there playing for love and little money, gig to gig
- It was as hard then to get paid after a gig in a club as it is now.
-Who knew that "Lottie the Body" had such a profound influence on teh Motown classics we know and love today-- you will have to watch the film to find out why!
