Advantages: Archive footage, interviews, live performances Disadvantages: None
For anyone who has read my previous comment on the great TownesVanZandt, or has heard and enjoyed his music, this DVD is a must see. If neither is applicable to you but you are interesting in an insight into the tragic workings of a genius, this is also a must.
This is the an often heartbreaking, sometimes amusing, always fascinating account of the life and times of TownesVanZandt: Texan troubadour, manic depressive, misunderstood drunk, lovelorn poet and close friend to a lucky and select few. VanZandt has written countless classic songs of loss, hope and heartbreak including the hits Pancho and Lefty and If I Needed You and has been covered by countless artists from Norah Jones, Emmylou Harris and Bob Dylan, some of whom are interviewed here.
As a biographical documentary, this is an engaging and lovingly crafted film ...
Advantages: Great songs and performances Disadvantages: Albums contain a few filler tracks, but not many

Advantages: Great Fun and strong messages being sent to kids. Disadvantages: None
For anyone that has kids would know about Lazy town and for anyone that does not have kids think your self's very lucky. The new kids show that has lively music that also is annoying and sticks in your head for days. You can't watch a show without singing to at least one song.
Though the best thing about this kids show is that it helps towards eating healthy and bans junk food.
Lazy Town
Well for anyone that does not know by now here is a quick recap about the show and about the characters.
Lazy Town.
For me this has tobe one of the best shows that my kids watch. I like the fact that they are promoting healthy eating and getting active. Though don't except your kids to start eating fruit and veg immediately. My son does not and has not done since he was weaned. Though he has got a tad ...
