a diseased bunch of mo'fos if there ever was one… their beauty is so awesome that listening to them at their best is like being in some vast dream cathedral decorated with a thousand gleaming American pop culture icons.

- Lester Bangs on The Beach Boys


PRO SHOT BEACH BOYS CONCERTS - LIST


To sum it up, they blew it, they blew it consistently, they continue to blow it, it is tragic and this pathological problem caused The Beach Boys' greatest music to be so underrated by the general public.

HBO’S UNTITLED ELVIS PRESLEY PROJECT COMPLETES PRODUCTION THIS MONTH
Emmy® And Grammy Winner Thom Zimny Directs

New Springsteen and Presley documentaries readied for the small screen

THOM ZIMNY'S BEEN BUSY

We've got a doubleshot of documentaries coming our way with Bruce Springsteen and Thom Zimny's involvement. First up is a 90-minute Springsteen documentary from Channel 4 in the UK, "produced by Lonesome Pine Productions in collaboration with Thom Zimny," as reported by www.atvtoday.co.uk, with Bruce "in intimate conversation": "Channel 4 has been granted access to Bruce Springsteen for a documentary revealing the man behind the music. With home video from his youth, and footage from his early years performing solo in Greenwich Village, this documentary gives a unique insight into the man as well as the musician." The doc is scheduled to air before the end of the year.

Zimny, Springsteen's film archivist and go-to director, has also directed an Elvis Presley documentary for HBO, which wraps production this month. Announced this afternoon, the untitled doc is a three-hour affair, a "comprehensive journey from Elvis' childhood through the final 1976 Jungle Room recording sessions." Today's press release quotes HBO Miniseries president Kary Antholis:

    "The producers came to HBO and Sony with the idea for a film drawing upon very rare footage that captures Elvis' musicianship in a new and exciting way," said Antholis. "The artistry on display in that footage reminded us of the great work by Jon Landau and Thom Zimny on HBO films documenting the studio artistry of Bruce Springsteen, and we are thrilled to have them at the helm to lend their unique cinematic perspectives to this iconic, complex and singular artist."

Jon Landau is an executive producer for the Elvis doc, and Springsteen is among the fim's interviewees.

A member of the FECC forum posted this:

So, it sounds like we really can look forward to some "new" material. Hopefully the movie will be worth it.
