<p>Copped a bit of flak early on for sounding like Ghostface (Wu Tang). But he's a talent and his 'Fuck that's delicious' series is mint, even has a couple of episodes from his NZ trip.</p> -
<p>Not sure if this should be in the TV thread or the music one but somehow, until this morning, this excellent music doco about Soul Train and it's influence on black culture and society had passed me by.</p>

<p>from some searching, it looks like it was made in 2010 but slipped under the radar (hardly a mention in IMDB) and was re-shown only earlier this year.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sky seems to show lots of other VH1 docos on Prime but tends to annually regurgitate the same old 'Classic Rock' ones which is a pity as it looks like there are plenty of really good ones done around other musical genres and aspects of popular culture</p>

<p>I won't post the clip, as it is an hour long, but this youtube link is a good quality copy.</p>

<p>My nephew's a struggling musician - this is his new video. I think part of it was paid for from an NZ on Air grant, so you should watch it to get value for your tax dollars. :)</p>

<p>This one he wrote as the theme for the Auckland leg of the Volvo round the World yacht race - won a competition to write the theme song.</p> -
<p>Darryl Hall reached his prog-zenith with the release of his solo debut <em>Sacred Songs</em> (1980), one of three records in a simultaneous trilogy that comprised Robert Fripp's <em>Exposure</em> and Peter Gabriel's 2nd album (aka <em>Scratch</em>). It is one of the first records to feature Frippertronics. RCA refused to release the record for three years because it "wasn't commercial." Some serious prog cred there.</p>

<p>So, while watching this vid on YouTube, I got interested in the music. Turns out it is by a company called Two Steps From Hell, and the track is "Freedom Fighters". Looked them up, they do all sorts of movie theme music and the like, so I bought their album and have been sitting here, working from home, loving that shit.</p>
