On a Tumblr recommendation from
Kaye, I watched the Brian Jonestown Massacre/Dandy Warhols documentary
Dig!, detailing the friendship, rivalry and fallout of the two bands. I have been a massive Dandy Warhols fan since high school so I jumped at the chance to watch a film about them but ended up getting totally sucked into the dark world of the Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Anton Newcombe of the BJM is a totally fucked-up weirdo who writes really good music and also dresses like a prophet.
Joel Gion is a hilarious man whose collection of bizarre sunglasses I totally envy.
Jeff Davies wears rad barrettes and I'm totally jealous of his hair.
...and of course, I would never leave out the magnificent Dandy Warhols!!
Zia McCabe is my spirit animal
Kelley Deal from the Breeders makes a cameo appearance!!
Dude, can I have that shirt??
Damn good stuff. Off to listen to
Give It Back and
Thank God for Mental Illness, over and out.

Yay, so glad you liked it. BJM are amazing as well. If you want to see more of Anton, he has a UStream as well, it's a bit weird. http://www.ustream.tv/user/antonnewcombe
