review i did for fasterlouder.com.au The 2004 documentary DiG! gave the world an insight into the fractious and tumultuous background of the Brian Jonestown Massacre (BJM) and in particular the brittle musical genius of Anton Newcombe. While the movie for the most part ultimately reduced the band to providing the musical and mental sideshow for a neat few hours of entertainment, the fact is this; they are still living this life and continuing their vision even after the c...

Back during my days as a cocktail waitress at NYC's Mercury Lounge Brian Jonestown Massacre frontman Anton Newcombe once told me he wanted to kiss the mole off my face, and then proceeded to order something I can't remember. Maybe it was water. Since those days it seems Newcombe has been sitting pretty in Liverpool, England and Reykjavik, Iceland writing the psychedelic cult-band's thirteenth full-length album, My Bloody Underground. The new album will be released April ... MORE

Come to think of it, Brian Jonestown Massacre leader Anton Newcombe was giving away his music online (I mean like the whole catalog of some 13 albums) for free years before Radiohead and Nine Inch Nails' recent headline-grabbing internet releases. It was all part of the anarchic, "keep music evil" mindset of Newcombe, who's pop persona is equal parts Johnny Rotten and Roky Erickson. The West Coast's band's 14th full length "My Bloody Underground" comes out this week, aft... MORE

Is Anton a genius? Is he insane? Is he just trying to make a name for himself any way possible? Who knows. BJM have had a love hate relationship with themselves and their audience for years. Some shows are incredible and others suck. Band members seem to come and go. But what is interesting to me is the amount of spin off bands that BJM has produced. Namely BRMC and the Warlocks. I think their are some others as well. The doc "Dig" covers the relationship between BJM a... MORE

Well, this song is probably one of my favorite of BJM, and is also on my favorite album of theirs: THEIR SATANIC MAJESTIES SECOND REQUEST. All of their albums are killer, but I feel this one flows the best. Anyways, I was wondering if anyone knew of the girl's name who sings this song: Anenome. She did a couple other BJM songs i think, including Wisdom from Strung Out On Heaven. She's not normally part of the band, but I do believe on the documentary "DiG!" they mentio... MORE

Item 1: Gimme Some Money, by The Thamesmen
Item 2: Got My Eye on You, by Brian Jonestown Massacre
This isn't the only song to employ those awesome bratty/whiny vocal stylings, but for some reason this one has the strongest Spinal Tap resonance for me.

I updated this mix with suggestions from other Moggers (thanks!) that I could find on eMusic/ iTunes. I was originally going for something dark and creepy (Eurythmics' Jennifer, Jennifer's Veil, Jennifer's Body and Jenny was a Friend of Mine), but I found some catchy uptempo numbers like: Jenny Come On by Dressy Bessy, Jennifer by Brian Jonestown Massacre, 27 Jennifers, and Jennifer by Bikeride. I'm giving it to my friend Jen who just turned (gasp) 30. Jennifer by: Eu... MORE

so, does anyone have a homemade DVD of all the BJM parts of Dig? that would be awesome. that, and the part where Anton hears Cortney's "new song" in the car. man, the look on Anton's face is priceless. wish there was a youtube clip of that scene. so yeah, i'm a late bloomer and have been listening to a lot of BJM recently, even though I've seen them like 3-4 times I never bought their albums. i'm a jerk, i know.
