[hoochmonkey9]

I know there are some Dolls fans here.
just wanted to give a heads up that All Dolled Up, the movie about the band is streaming here at Pitchfork tv for one week only.

Try and find the BBC Arthur Kane doc, it's a real poignant doc

You mean New York Doll? I don't think the BBC was involved in making that (http://www.onepotatoproductions.com/NewYorkDoll/production.html). Maybe you're referring to another documentary.

New York Doll is a great film (and story) though. Interesting even if you don't give a crap about the New York Dolls as a band, which, understandably, most people don't.

Bob Gruen's All Dolled Up is great too, though I had to consume it in a few separate sittings. Sound is not always great, it's a bit hard to take for a couple hours straight.

I was excited to see it though, having read in the 70's about Gruen's massive stash of videotape of the Dolls. Never thought it would be released, but there you go.

Is that the one Morrissey handled? I saw that and it was really good.
