An artful documentary about the life of Daniel Johnson, singer/songwriter, artist, cartoonist and general artistic genius, but a man sadly afflicted with a severe mental illness that makes him totally self-delusional and an occasional danger to both himself and others. Daniel, raised in a Christian fundamentalist family in deepest West Virginia, amongst many of his fantasies, sees Devils everywhere, and with his overblown self-importance, not helped by his legions of admirers, vying with his low find out more...

Brothers stick together, even when they can't stand each other and aren't actually brothers. For twenty-odd years, New York punk quartet the Ramones traded under a single surname, dressed in a uniform of leather jackets and jeans, shared tour buses and dressing rooms, and hated each other's guts. This is a largely sympathetic look at a group that could never cash in on the kind of witty, radio-friendly pop-punk sounds since imitated by everybody from the Pixies to Busted. Sympathetic, but even-h find out more...

From the sublime (check Robert Wyatt's performance of 'Shipbuilding' or The Wailers 'Stir It Up') to the ridiculous (see the spectacularly unhinged Focus) and simply staggering (Edgar Winter's virtuosity in the epic Frankenstein) this is packed with total gems from the classic live music series made all the more special by Whispering Bob's presentation. The disc is intersp find out more...

We love The Pixies here in this shop. We really do. So, as far as this reviewer is concerned, this DVD definitely rocks. There is some cracking concert footage from back in the day, and some enlightening interviews with members of the band. The music videos are a bit ropey, but worth checking out for the comedy of dated MTV. A must-see for any fan of The Pixies themselves, The Breeders (the band Kim went on to form and create the almighty single Cannonball), Nirvana or any other 90s grunge find out more...
