A SXSW 2006 Kinda DVDay

What was it about August 28? A trio of SXSW 2006 hits landed on DVD shelves that day, making it an enjoyable week sitting on the sofa (while you wait for Kid Nation to premiere). These new-to-DVD alums include Michael Tully's Cocaine Angel and Swanberg/Bewersdorf/Wells' LOL, but those dudes get enough blogspace from me as it is. Instead, I wanna pump you up for a SXSW 2006 doc success story: Alexandra Lipsitz's Air Guitar Nation. This immensely entertaining doc had its world premiere at SXSW and won the Audience Award for the "24 Beats Per Second" category. It's one of those docs that does very little wrong, and will entertain anyone between the ages of 17 and 117. Good luck getting Motorhead's "Ace of Spades" out of your head after seeing Lipsitz's funny and engrossing story unfold. Here's the trailer:
