Spinner names CMO as one of the “best music docs of all time”

COLOR ME OBSESSED, a film about the Replacements — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 22:44:03 +0000

That’s right — all time. And they put us in a list that includes the likes of Gimme Shelter, The Last Waltz, The Devil and Daniel Johnston, Anvil! The Story of Anvil, and Dig!. Pretty heady company. Here’s what they said about us:

Making a film about a band while refusing to include any interviews, stock footage, music or images that feature any members of the group might sound like documentary suicide, but for director and Replacements obsessive Gorman Bechard, it was a truly inspired experiment. In choosing to focus on everyone surrounding the Replacements, from fellow musicians and scenesters to critics and fans, and exploring their thoughts and feelings about the band, Bechard hasn’t just made a good film about the rockers, he’s created the ultimate testament to music nerd fandom and just how important the right band can be to the people who love them.

A really nice review from Toronto

COLOR ME OBSESSED, a film about the Replacements — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 02:16:23 +0000

This was just posted today on CHARTattack following the Toronto screening of Color Me Obsessed at NXNE. Here’s an excerpt:

“And while two straight hours of listening to people talk about The Mats might sound like a special kind of torture for those who aren’t fans of the Minneapolis cult heroes, the film is a shockingly refreshing and invigorating experience for anyone who has ever cared about any kind of music at all. In essence, Color Me Obsessed is a love letter to music.”
