The Ike White documentary on BBC is very good
Does anybody remember this?
Haha Northside
Not seen this since it first aired on Granada, i’ll have to watch it tonight, i’m guessing it won’t have aged well 
This is well worth a watch.
maybe already mentioned but watched Stewart Lee’s documentary on Robert Lloyd / The Nightingales last night and really enjoyed it. Wasn’t too familiar with his work but the film is really charming and very funny.
Available to watch if you’re in the UK and have Sky, i think.
Sorry to drag the Fairlight up again but I remember watching it on Tomorrows World when I was a kid, seemed like the future then and now… Tomorrows World was like the Gadget Show in the 70’s.

Very much enjoyed this 2 part doc about Laurel Canyon last week. Great archive footage and interviews with a balanced coverage of all the main acts that were involved. A time and place that won’t be repeated. Available on Sky / Now TV.
Loved this. So much good footage in there.
I lived in Jim Morrison’s house in the Canyon for a few weeks with a bunch of friends and clients and friends of friends. Strange magic abounds up there. I wouldn’t do it again tbh.
Test Pressing comes up trumps again! The last music forum I frequented (Diggers With Gratitude) died about a year ago. I watched so many great documentaries recommended on there. Always on the lookout for more.
There’s plenty of gold in the chat above ^^^ and plenty I’ve not seen too.
Okay. In the spirit of being useful, here are some of the documentaries mentioned above that are still available. I’ve updated a couple of links.
Coda documentary about Ryuichi Sakamoto (English subtitles)
Soulwax tour doc
Boards of Canada doc
Steely Dan - the making of Aja
The Last Angel of History
Delia Derbyshire
Scratch (which is probably the best of all the hip hop origins films imho).
The Stones Throw doc (I’m on a Madlib revival/trawl at the moment so I’ll be rewatching this).
On Amazon Prime, it looks like Full Mantis - the Milford Graves documentary is unavailable. The great Teddy Pendergrass doc - ‘If You Don’t Know Me’ isn’t there either. The Roland TR-808 has gone too.
Available to rent or buy on Prime:
The Arthur Russell docu - Wild Combination
The HBO Bee Gees doc
Sisters With Transistors
Northern Disco Lights (the Norwegian scene that we loved in the 00s)
The good doc’s recommendations are nearly all available (UR/Mal Waldron/Keith Haring/George Condo/Sun-Ra/N.O.R.E. / Mingus/Mel Cheren etc. )…
The Born Balearic film (to rent - although not convinced this will work)
All the Streets are Silent
And so that my whole post isn’t just one big re-up, here’s a brilliant documentary about the art of rhyme…
This is great
Thank you
Have this on the back burner for this weekend…
