Tantalizing trailer for "Nothing Can Hurt Me"

I can't wait to see this documentary on one of rock music's greatest bands, one that remains little known despite enormous critical acclaim over the course of four decades. 

Unlike many music fans with selective memory, I didn't get the Big Star thing until the early 1980s. But when I did, I did. What a great band, with songs so nuanced that each listen delivers new surprises.

Sneak peak at Big Star box set

NPR is offering an "exclusive" free stream of Disc 1 of the new 96-track Big Star box set, "Keep and Eye on the Sky." The set will be released Sept. 15

I'm gonna wait for reviews to see whether the remastering, remixes, rarities and other extras are worth the cost (Amazon has it for $54), but it's safe to say this collection is long overdue. 

Disc 1 has 26 tracks, and provides a good look at Big Star's depth, creativity and the sound that influenced many a band over the last three decades.
