Video: Upside Down the Movie - The Story of Creation Records

¿Recuerdas Upside Down, una de las primeras y mejores canciones (a mi parecer) de The Jesus and Mary Chain ? Así se llama el nuevo documental sobre Creation Records dirigido por Danny O'Connor , quien retrata brillantemente (como podemos suponer por lo bien que luce el trailer), las altas y las bajas en la historia del gran sello inglés desde su creación en los años 80.

Music geeks are salivating at the prospect of these five upcoming music documentaries. 1. Living in the Material World: George Harrison Director: Martin Scorcese Sure we love the Beatles, but then there's the dark horse George Harrison, the man who emerged as a brilliantly enigmatic songwriter and became known as the quintessential reductionist guitar player. His post-Beatles release All Things Must Pass rivals Plastic Ono Band as the best post-Fab Four record and his notable solo career and much under-appreciated musicianship have been long overdue for a closer...

"Just Like Honey" –By The Jesus & Mary Chain . How do you decide which is your favourite album, like, ever? What rules or tests apply? Is it really about the music or is it linked to a time in your life you'd dearly wish to revisit? For me it's a fairly straightforward question, it's quite simply the album that I have returned to again and again, an album that is still able to console and inspire, and one which while transporting me back through time, still sounds as [...]

Aside from this trailer, there's little else to be Googled up on Upside Down . Back in January, the Guardian wrote a quick preview piece , which said "the full extent of the debauchery, precarious nature and genius of the independent label is to be laid bare in the most revealing rock'n'roll film since 24 Hour Party People ."
