Before Music Dies documentary
tags:
Stumble This"Narrated by Academy Award® Winner Forest Whitaker, BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES is an unsettling and inspiring look at today's popular music industry featuring interviews and performances by Erykah Badu, Eric Clapton, Dave Matthews, Branford Marsalis, Guestlove and a wide variety of others. The documentary film has built a passionate following as “the most important film a music fan will ever see” (XM Radio) by providing “a balanced overview of the state of the rock scene of America” (The Wall Street Journal) and adding “passion to the eternal debate about the industry” (The New York Times). Last year, BEFORE THE MUSIC DIES filmmakers Andrew Shapter and Joel Rasmussen walked away from traditional Hollywood distribution to instead pursue a large-scale grassroots release with B-Side Entertainment. Since its release in November 2006, the film has screened over 200 times in over 130 North American markets with hundreds of additional events anticipated worldwide during 2007. Use this site to learn more about the film, where you can see it, ways you can own it, and - most importantly - how you can get involved in sharing it with others."

I know Sifty's gonna' be pissy, but this is some *quality stuff!
its also false to think just because music is diverse or a culture in a society has deverce forms of music that it is neceserlly better than a culture that dose not have diverse music.
I'm going to watch the rest of this its just anoyign that it opens on 2 false premises
who cares if people use auto tune ? its just a different ganra of music its like for no reason stipulating that you cannot use sinths ore something.
what's annoying is this documentary has some valid potions , and the fact is pop music at the moment really is fucked , not because of the music itself but more because of the structure of the industry and the marketing.
Turns out they get there at the end of the documentary.
