Saw it on Sat - five stars from me - brilliant and so entertaining watching them beat the lard out of each other on stage!

go see Sky Blue as soon as it comes out. It's amazing. Also the new Dreamworks cartoon - Madagascar is fantastic.

Saw Dig! when it came out on the 1st in a nearly deserted UGC. Very entertaining if you have an interest in music and bands and glorious failure.
The Dandys only come across as uber-professional and smart marketeers because the Anton and the BJM are such a shambles. Brilliant and gifted but still a shambles.
If I could, I'd force all NME 'journalists' to go see this film so they can differentiate between a true twisted talented genius and useless wasters like Pete Doherty.

if Pete Doherty didn't like crack, people wouldn't call him a waster.

They'd just call him useless.

Saw it in there too, although had a fairly full cinema ... & a row of 13yr old girls at the front, who were asking what it was about as the lights went down.
"Fcukin Rockbands, ah your messin!?!"
Obviously the Ashton Kutcher fim was sold out, & this was on the same time. |

'You f**king broke my sitar, motherf**ker!'

Loads of BJM downloads (entire albums!) on their website: http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com
But you have to have Winamp or some other .ogg player to play them all. Typical BJM: obscure, difficult but worth the hassle... |

....... Anton and the BJM are such a shambles. Brilliant and gifted but still a shambles.
Sorry to go off on one but anyone who knows anything about the BJM knows that they are anything but a shambles. Its well documented that Anton hates the film because its a total misrepresentation of them and their music, and it was edited completely against them.
examples (if you havent seen Dig! look away now) - when they were stopped and found with dope it was actually the director who was arrested, not Anton. Anton IS allowed to see his son. He's been off heroin since 1997. The band are still together complete with Joel (why just in June I saw them play in London and it was the best gig of my entire little life) etc etc
I could go on.
Still... Bloody good film though

There's an awful lot to wade through. Are there any BJM fans who can reccommend their best tunes so I know where to start? |

Me to red-haired urchen working at Ster Century (soon to be renamed Vue) during his summer holidaays this evening: One for "Dig" please.
reuwsc(stbrv)dhsh: You know it's a rock documentary right? (This beats "you know it's got subtitles right?" as the silliest thing ever said to me by a cinema ticket seller.)
Me: Yeah
reuwsc(stbrv)dhsh: Ok, you're the only person to have bought a ticket so sit wherever you like.
Very enjoyable (also enjoyed the freedom of not having to turn off the mobile becasue there was no one to potentially annoy if it went off, it's those little acts of rebellion) and yer man Anton may well be a genius based solely on that one scene where he sat down and seemed to compose, arrange and record a song in one sitting, certainly far more talented than Courtney Taylor Taylor Taylor Taylor or whatever he's calling himself these days.
What precisely did Joel do in the band, all the footage of him onstage consisted of him playing tamborine and looking wasted, I assume he did vocals but I'm not leaving out the possibility of being a Bez figure.

Yup Joel is the tambourine man. But unlike Bez his tambourine actually adds to the sound of the BJM. Em. Well...
Its hard to know where to start on the back catalogue, so id say go for Teppid Peppermint Wonderland, its a two disc retrospective from the last 10 years.
Also Thank God For Mental Illness is a good starting point
