why is it a shame? It's great that a new generation is getting to know Arthur Russell by an tv advert! Mobile adverts are doing a lot more than tv music channels and radio promoting good bands. Besides if he wasn't for The Klaxons interview probably i will never get him since i'm from Portugal and no radio or tv channel will play him.
I saw this at the Berlin film festival. Such a fucking great doc! What a man, Arthur Russell.
it's on "love is taking over me". its a song about a dog, it's amazing.
it's on the sundance channel tonight, june 29.
I watched this about 50 times, and I can't believe what he lived, it was true music.
great to find this here- and on top just found out its shown at the filmfest here in berlin!

It's called Eli. It's on the album "Love Is Overtaking Me".
Amazing musician and songwriter.
