Music Docs / TV / Films you can watch online
Just watched this lost pilot for a VH1 show hosted by Jon Brion (directed by Paul Thomas Anderson) starring Elliott Smith http://www.latimes.com/entertainment/music/posts/la-et-ms-elliott-smith-jon-brion-brad-mehldau-paul-thomas-anderson-20130117,0,3487318.story
And have been in bed sick, trying to find things to watch on YouTube and Netflix.
Found this documentary http://www.presspauseplay.com/ - which centers around Olafur Arnalds, about technology vs culture.
What else is out there? I put some stuff I found on YouTube into a playlist a while back over at http://youtube.com/drownedinsound

The Eno documentary near the start is terrific.
Wanted to start a v. similar thread...
must be the January/staying indoors thing going round. Anyway, I really enjoyed this Mission of Burma documentary: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UzNnuKa8dkQ
This Dex Romweber doc is also brilliant: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hbVV3dzj18I
And I can't believe how bad this Replacements doc is: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY2q3mF5Tk0&wide=1
Slade In Flame

second only to David Essex's Stardust.
That Jon Brion Show

Modest Mouse have a couple of interesting documentary's
Both focusing on their early career, one during and one retrospectively
The old one

The rather excellent Pitchfork one that came out last year
http://pitchfork.com/tv/pitchfork-classic/1912-modest-mouse-the-lonesome-crowded-west/3115-entire-film/
Both feature interviews from people such as Elliot Smith and Dough Martsch
maaaan
how cool is Jeramiah. Never heard him speak before.
:D
I love the bit in the pitchfork one where Brock is saying about living in a trailer park, and you think it's going to be really sad, and he's like 'actually it was fine, not nearly as bad as I made it sound'
i saved loads of dis-friendly ones but never gave you them because i'm a cold hearted bitch
