What's the best music documentary or concert film you've seen?

this video is cute.
i hate me for not being able to buy tickets to anything.

Now that I re-read the title of this post, I realize that it's a little bold.
And probably not right.

Here's a repost from my entry @ orphanrecords.org

This video is epic. Don't know who Sparks are? Remember that movie Valley Girl from like 1983? Nicholas Cage played the sexy punk rock boy and the girl who played Dotty in Pee Wee's Big Adventure was the slutty best friend? Ok, good. So remember the part in the movie when that kid goes to this girl's house who has a crush on him, and you think he's going to return her book, but then they make it look like he's boning her mom in the shower, except it turns out that it's really the girl and not the mom? No? Well whatever, the point is that the song playing in the background during that scene is Sparks' 'Eaten By The Monster Of Love.'And it rules. They also have a song called 'Angst In My Pants,' and 'The Fanatic,' both of which also rule.
Good stuff, I tell you.

Back to the matter at hand.
This music video is the title track from their album, 'Lil Beethoven, which, to be honest, is not a spectacular record. But c'mon, seriously guys, how many musicians spend their entire CAREERS trying to make something sound as awesome as awesome as this ONE song?

About a bazillion.
That's a fact.

Just frickin' watch it already.

This probably means nothing to you.
Unless, of course, you happened upon some of the same incorrectly labeled mp3's as i did. Before I continue, let me outline a truth that is essential to a 3rd party understanding of my excitement concerning this matter: I am not a huge fan of Mogwai.

Now we can proceed.

About a year ago, I found a 'Sigur Ros/Mogwai' split on soulseek. I have no idea why I downloaded it--I probably had a final the next morning that I was desperately trying to think out of existence, or maybe some neurons in my brain misfired.
But whatever, I listened to it, and IT WAS FUCKING AMAZING. I shit you not. A-MAZE-ING. And it sounded nothing like either Sigur Ros or Mogwai. But I accepted that it was both.

Now, the ace who thought of this marketing ploy needs a serious pat on the back. Last.fm eventually discovered & revealed the truth about the alleged collaboration: it didn't exist. The sonic masturbation in which i had been so frequently indulging was actually the creation of one little man & his guitar, in a basement, in Korea. Under the name 500won project, this aural deviant released ONE full-length album that is not available anywhere in this country. Shit that this guy made in his basement was being shared INTERNATIONALLY as a collaboration between 2 hugely successful bands who, as it turns out, HAVE NEVER COLLABORATED. 500won was soon on permanent itunes rotation in my room, between the hours of 2am and 6am.

I found this video on Youtube. Rainsmellow is "500won's new band with grooveking, munji, lambhead". It lead to the discovery of the only man on this little blue planet with access to actual, physical, 500won releases. You want 'em? Me too.
