even the mysterious ones are probably not that interesting, aside from making great music (e.g. Burial). maybe it's just that few musicians make enough money to really fuck their life up in an interesting way?
weirdly, i think you might be onto something here

imo the definitive Interpol biography would consist of this one sentence "Four boring douchebags had a band" but then I must admit I'd have said the same thing about, say, the JAMC were I 20 years older and it was 20 years ago.

I'd read and even watch a biopic of the following bands from the 00s (not bands or artists I necessarily love but would be interesting to see):
BroadcastAriel PinkAntony and the JohnsonsYYYsGodspeed you black emperorThe booksDestroyerJoanna newsomAnimal collectiveThe KnifeAvalanchesBroken Social SceneLiarsPaavoharjuFenneszFour tetBurialDevendra banhartFiery furnacesSebastien tellier
Specially interested in a Paavoharju and Tellier documentary.

i'd read a fucked up bio. would probably be more interesting than their music.
