The Brian Jonestown Massacre have been tough to miss for the past 20 years. Have you ever seen the BJTM in concert or seen the roc-doc film about them called "Dig"? This San Francisco-based loose-knit group have toured heavily for the past 1
5 years, so they've played your vicinity. The film had legs, esp on DVD. They've been hard to avoid, really.
The Brian Jonestown Massacre may have been the best mirror of Rock n Roll's true spirit we've been given over the past two decades. I've seen friends fly high in ther presence, only to crash & burn afterward. Leader Anton Newcombe is almost scary in his dedication to the true rock n roll embodiment.
This band has actually evolved quite a bit since their inception, and this double-LP record is a reissue of their first full-length, originally released in the mid-1990s. Although this record clearly documents the Shoegaze-y beginnings of the band, their overt Stoogey Stonesishness comes through also.
"Methodrone" on LP is truly a trip. Expensive, but worth it.
