It's Spinal Tap... no... wait - these poor bastards are for real. These Canadians played with Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and a whole host of other reputable metal bands of the 80s, in fact, they heavily influenced some of them. So what happened? Well, eternal optimist Steve 'Lips' Kudlow and ever patient best bud Robb Reiner just didn't seem to get a break. Now recording their thirteenth album, 'This is Thirteen', the two not so known legends give it one last go.

The first episode deals entirely with bower birds, the artists of the natural world, and their incredibly decorated nests/bowers. The second episode examines animal noises, birds singing, whales calling, apes vocalising, and speculates about the origins of human music. The third episode is a biography of Sir David, largely across his years as the presenter of BBC Wildlife, and includes many of the highlights of those years. Ace stuff.

The result, edited to with an inch of its life by MCA, is one of the most enjoyable, original and full on concert movies to have ever graced the DVD player.

A hypnotic documentary from Nick Broomfield (Kurt and Courtney) investigating the murders of Tupac Shakur and "The Notorious B.I.G.". Broomfield delves deep into the rappers world and the apparent indifference of the LAPD to provide some pretty chilling facts. Intelligent, professional and utterly gripping.

This excellent documentary follows Billy Bragg as he embarks on a mission to put music to a selection of lyrics penned by folk legend, Woody Guthrie. Billy's love of the People's Troubadour is evident as he visits his home town, tracing Woody's life and influences with the help of his daughter, Nora Guthrie. The music (compiled on two albums, 'Mermaid Avenue' Vol.'s 1 and 2) is excellent and is lifted with the collaboration of Wilco. Jeff Tweedy, lead singer with Wilco, seems particularly inspir
