When you're having more than one
Holy fuck. Click on it.
This was featured in an 'amazing' Moog documentary. What makes it 'amazing' is the level of discomfort apparent in every single person interviewed. Bob Moog picking vegetables and trying to piece together a half-assed analogy between synths and vegetables, DJ Spooky trying to smile as he delivers his written answers, then Herb Deutsch and his Zoolander-ass goatee, then Tim Gane looking really bothered by the interviewer.
Every chapter ends with a Moog-intensive performance by bands I've never heard of. These bands are all different, but have the following common characteristics:
The sole exception was the Stereolab bit, where Laetitia plays a very cool backlit Moog. Stereolab and Tortoise composed some original work for the movie, which kind of blends in with the otherwise horrendous soundtrack.

Every chapter ends with a Moog-intensive performance by bands I've never heard of. These bands are all different, but have the following common characteristics:- they appear to be playing stadiums
- they have on average 12 people on stage, all playing a single chord on as many monophonic Minimoogs
- an array of laptops is always present
- two dormant turntables are always present
- the set sounds like shit

i feel dumber for having watched that.....
i have stared at this docu on the shelves for well over a year and have never felt that it would be a good watch.
About to watch the aristocrats. Pity ya fool.
The video store worker told me 'Theremin' was a much better documentary, but, since I'm not really the lead thereminist of Anagram, I thought 'Moog' might be more relevant. Alas.
Jeff: Pay careful attention to the Bob Saget bit in Aristocrats. I also really liked the Taylor Negron version.
Bob Sagat is a good man. As funny as he was in the Aristocats the full house out takes are still among my favourite bob saget moments.
also, my blog is up stan.
I aim to impress my girlfriend with a super lame blog.
