Oh, it really is. But it's legitimately a great introduction; it got so many of my friends actually accepting of listening to jazz.

I tried to get one to listen, and he was like, "I'm not a pompous douchebag who wears a turtleneck and beret, so no thank you."

Now, he's digging on jazz.

I downloaded a torrent of it a few months back but there doesn't seem to be any seeding at the moment. It's pretty much the same quality as the one on google video that Lone Misfit posted though so that seems to be the best way to go.

Heh. I'm glad it turned your friend around. It's so funny when people refuse to listen to music they're not very familiar with because they think it's "pretentious" or whatever. Music is music.

"Gimme Shelter" aka "Why you do not hire the Hell's Angels as concert security"

"No Distance left to Run" is a very good documentary about Blur that I would reccomend.

It's a mockumentary to be exact. It kind of counts as a documentary.

I'm still not listening to "Dave"...

Is there a documentary on Futurism? It doesn't necessarily have to be centered around the musical aspect of it either.
