Just watched this great documentary on the late fellow Iowan and musician, Arthur Russell. Highly recommend! find out more here: http://arthurrussellmovie.com/
Ok, So the Documentary was like "A Spinal Tap" on Tylenol PM. The first song was somewhat interesting though very idiosyncratic. Nice use of the stringed instrument. The disco piece was disco and since I grew up in the late 70's, no place I ever want to go again.
It was a little hard to tell if the documentary was a parody or not.
NPR has done several pieces during the past year on Spinning-LP's as well as people who make music out of collected sound. It appears there is a whole music movement in these areas.

Ha. Comparing a music documentary to Spinal Tap (a parody) is like comparing any music documentary to every other music documentary.
At any rate - I'm glad it didn't give you a headache.
