Too Many Docs, too many docs.

For all these, follow the youtube links for all the parts.
BBC: Once Upon a Time in NY-
Great documentary about the birth of all the music everyone should love. You may think you know all about the velvet underground, fab 5 freddy, blondie, etc, but this doc has some amazing footage and interviews.
80 Blocks from Tiffany's -
Famous documentary about gangs in the 1970's Bronx. Its very interesting to see the gangster mentality prevalent today played out along side such different music and garb.

1989: Summer of Rave -
Documentary about the birth of house/techno which also offers an interesting insight into the life and times which birthed the movement. A truly feel good viewing.
Jungle Documentary -
Interesting if you like jungle, or have a general interest in history.
