For years, I've kept a running playlist of rare Music documentaries and interesting videos that I find on Youtube. Here's a thread that I'll be adding to throughout the day in between running errands. Check it out.
Sun Ra: A Joyful Noise. A few years ago @cineSPEAK screened this film at the International House in Philly which is the same location the rooftop footage was shot back in 1980. I hosted a pre-screening talk with the director, Robert Mugge. Lovely night youtube.com/watch?v=3I46bu…
@John_Liberator @JesseDrucker Great list. I'll be bookmarkig this one. I'd add. Such a good watch on Detroit techno. youtu.be/x1KkE6I1wJo
Stolen Moments: Red, Hot & Cool. Earle Sebastian's classic 1994 documentary that covers everything from the HIV and AIDS crisis to the interplay between Hip Hop and Jazz. Might be the Blackest, most 90s film ever made. youtube.com/watch?v=jIXkEf…
The making of Pete Rock's Soul Survivor album youtube.com/watch?v=oZOtwl…
Diane Martel's classic doc, Wreckin Shop Live From Brooklyn. youtube.com/watch?v=gnnyLL…
Jackie Mclean on Mars. I love this doc and the part where he's arguing about Sun Ra with one of his closed-minded university students is mad funny youtube.com/watch?v=7ap1HJ…
A nice rip of the Mystik Journeymen Stop, Look & Listen VHS tape youtube.com/watch?v=zdtUyk…
A nice piece on LA's Paisley Underground rock scene of the 80s youtube.com/watch?v=liud5Z…
This is ill. A short promo documentary on Philly's Fat Cat Clique. youtube.com/watch?v=6Rl9fz…
