From the it's better than writing for a blog files, here is a cut and paste job off brooklynvegan,com a coupla days ago about music movies at the Tribeca Film Festival which, through a mix of hard work and dilgence, I have missed for 10 years straght.
So fresh (actually, stale) off BV: "Music-related films this year include Beats, Rhymes & Life: The Travels of A Tribe Called Quest, Mama Africa (about Miriam Makeba), The Ballad of Genesis and Lady Jaye, Crash&Burn, God Bless Ozzy Osbourne, Sing Your Song (about Harry Belafonte who will also be on hand for a conversation moderated by "noted broadcaster" Tavis Smiley), The Swell Season (a documentary about Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova and their film Once), The Union (about Elton John & Leon Russell), When the Drum is Beating (about Haiti's 20-member band Septentrional), Roadie (about a roadie for Blue Oyster Cult), and Talihina Sky: The Story of Kings of Leon. "
Well, now, this really sucks. KOL and Elton… wooo, maybe it's a double feature of tedium.
