What's that stand for?  Music Documentaries You Have To See, as in our new semi-irregular column featuring just that, the music documentaries you have to see before you die.  (Well, maybe it's not as serious as all that, but you have to see them nonetheless.)  This concept was sparked by a recent conversation and a desire to dig back into the archives rather than just hit up current stuff on this blog.  MDYHTS will feature reviews of music documentaries we highly recommend on a sort of whenever basis.  First up...

I Am Trying To Break Your Heart

A Film About Wilco By Sam Jones

This was our introduction to Wilco and serves as a great entry point for anyone interested in the band.  Simply put, it will change your life.  (OK maybe it won't, but it certainly changed ours.)  Filmed during the recording of Yankee Hotel Foxtrot, this film begins as a glimpse into the process of writing and recording an album.  But as the film progresses, things begin to come undone.  You'll love the music, you'll love the drama, you'll love the film.  Put it into your Netflix queue or check it out at our very own Airbag Library.
