Music documentaries love the myth of the tortured artist. But what happens when reflection becomes narrative control?In this episode of RBR.music, we take a hard look at Have You Seen Me Lately? the Counting Crows documentary that frames vulnerability as revelation, but rarely risks interrogation. Is this a brave portrait of fame and mental health? Or a carefully managed exercise in self-mythology?We examine the film’s lack of tension, its avoidance of accountability, and the difference between confession and genuine exposure. Because saying something out loud isn’t the same as understanding it.

A deep-dive chat into Louder Than You Think, the oddball, fuzz-covered documentary that drags you straight into the chaotic genius of Pavement drummer and underground legend Gary Young. In this episode, we pull apart the film’s messy magic the wild early days of the band, the blurred lines between brilliance and self-destruction, and why Gary’s scrappy, unfiltered approach still feels louder than most polished music stories today. Expect anecdotes, context, and a look at what the film gets right (and what it gloriously refuses to tidy up). It’s noisy, it’s honest, and it reminds you that music history is rarely neat… but it’s always worth listening to.
