Brian Jonestown Massacre


Recommended Posts

I love 'em. Anton Newcombe is a genius.

 

....especially during his stage banters:

 

"...fuck.........fucking........fucker.........fucked.........."

 

Because this is SO genius, he's going on like that for 20 mins before having played a single note of music. :yucky

OK, I need some help. What's the name of the movie w/ BJM & the Dandy Warhols? And is it good? I'd kinda like to see it.

I saw DIG and thought Brian Jonestown Massacre was very talented and that their "failure" to obtain a level of popularity to that of the Dandy Warhols revolved around the fact that Anton was a huge asshole.

I saw that movie and it really made me want to check out BJM's music since people called him a genius for the whole thing. Having heard a bunch of their music I cannot for the life of me figure out what those people are talking about. Poor singing and totally derivitive music.

Love the band, Anton is clearly on another level, Greg Shaw isn't too far off when he implies he's a megalomaniac in Dig!, but he's written some fine music and any band with a tambourine player (Joel was my avatar for the first half of the year) is all right by me.
