It has come to our attention that there is a new documentary about Big Star.
Sadly, the web site seems to be completely devoid of information regarding screenings, or streaming opportunities, or even a mailing list. Awesome.
(For the uninitiated, the wikipedia entries on the band and its most famous member are useful; you almost certainly know at least one of their songs already, as a truncated version of “In the Street” was used as the theme song for “That ’70s Show.”)
Funny, I was just listening to The Ballad of El Goodo yesterday… This will definitely be on my “to watch” list, wherever it screens. Might be a good double bill with “I Am Trying to Break Your Heart.”
Thanks for the tip!
