I’ve added some DVD titles this week, Derailroaded and Glass, A Portrait In Twelve Parts. I bought derailroaded a while back for £4 can you believe. It’s a must see for Zappa fans but be forewarned, it’s a harrowing film! Wild Man Fischer is certainly wild and you just can’t help feeling sorry for the guy. There are though, in amongst the chaos that is Fischer’s life, moments of brilliant humor. Fischer really is a true music outsider, you’re guaranteed to have never herd anything like him. Well worth a purchase!
I can also highly recommend the documentary Glass A Portrait In Twelve Parts produced by Scott Hicks. There’s some great footage from the 70′s and a rare look into the composers personal life. It’s beautifully shot with some magic New York scenes and in a strange way has a captivating narrative.
