Discounting the whole Myspace aspect of the deal, it seems there is a feature-length documentary on the life of English producer and father of green things, Joe Meek. There is a sort of a teaser available at the Palmdoor Films site, with some of the audio from the film.

I guess I never really thought about it too much, but I kind of expected the music to be, well, weirder. For some reason, it’s pretty much middle-of-the-road contemporary 60s britpop. Joe Meek is best remembered for having the bad luck to be working in England in the recording industry at the same time as George Martin, and will forever be overshadowed by that simple fact.
