Anyone seen this yet, I just picked it up yesterday. Its awfully
amusing. Les Claypool wrote, directed and stared in this awesome mockumentary of jam bands. I HIGHLY recomend it. |

'Hey are ya going to Burning Man'
Claypool really nails some of the more amusing characters that one meets in the Jam scene, and he really captures that 'I"m a tortured artist' muso type that EVERYONE has played in a band with. Excellent movie!! |

Excellent movie!! | I love the part where it takes him a whole day to tune his snare in the studio. It even sounds like crap later on too.  |

Sure, the scenes were mildly whimsical, but only because of the premise of poking fun at the stereotypes- it's a humor-laden premise, but the actual writing and acting was totally lifeless and dull, and Claypool's character was the only one remotely interesting onscreen.
I guess if you are (a) part of the jam-band scene, and (b) baked while you watch it, then I could imagine it being pretty funny. But The Rutles and Spinal Tap, by contrast, were hilarious even without being "in the scene" or being high. Apricot = boo-oo-oo-ring. |
