Might have mentioned it before, but I've almost finished it now and it really is very good - The Challenge: ETA (El DesafĂ­o: ETA). If you're interested in terrorism and anti-terrorism, the story of the Basque country in general, tis well worth a watch. Should be on Amazon.

Just watched this. It's very good, a really interesting lens through which to study a very particular and pivotal moment in modern US and general media history:

That is excellent, despite them both being insufferable snobs. The barbs back and forth between them were glorious. I must watch it again.

I watched Count Me In, a drumming documentary on Netflix. Man, what a ferocious drummer Chad Smith is. He is a phenomenon.

Just watched that. Thought it was garbage.

It was diverting, I thought. Nothing exceptional but watching Chad attack that kit was impressive.

There's a Count Tornado documentary on YouTube that I'm gonna watch over the weekend. I've not heard any of his music, I've only ever heard about him and seen pictures of him. He looks like quite the entertainer  :laugh:

Used to see him on a near weekly basis in the 90s. Mad hoor.

Ya class drummer. Great groove and knows hot to hit the drums hard. Found the doc itself just ok.

Watched "Malice at the Palace" on Netflix. About the Indiana pacers vs the Detroit Pistons players and fans brawl. Only an hour long and it's very well done.

That doc on the Malice At The Palace brawl is fucking class. And the perfect length.

I think that you'll enjoy this short Bill Burr (with hair, no less) stand-up segment if you liked that doc. And bear in mind - 'ol Freckles is doing this set to an nearly entirely black crowd.

Ya it was just talking heads and no real insight into anything worthwhile. Drums are great. Ok then.

Watch the Sound with Mark Ronson. Mini series about producing. Each episode goes into a different topic like reverb, synths etc. Really well made. All the top players in each genre in it. The sampling episode with the beastie boys, public enemy and others is fantastic.

Its on Apple Tv but I watched it on one of those 123movies sites. If u can't find it send me a pm.

Watched Adam Curtis' Bitter Lake over the last couple of days. Tis a good time to watch it, close to the 20 year commemoration of 9/11 and right after the Afghanistan withdrawal.

Watched Turning Point on Netflix. Was fairly average as it regurgitates information that you probably already know if you have been keeping up with the "War on terror".
