Dig On The Brian Jonestown Massacre

A few days ago Mrs. West and I watched a DVD called Dig, about the Brian Jonestown Massacre and the Dandy Warhols. Dig is a damn good documentary of the two bands and their very different personalities and career choices. BJM chooses independent record labels, self-destruction, violence and very good music while the Dandys choose a major label, careerism, peace and hit-making. Ah but that's an oversimplification. Still, I have to hand it to Brian Jonestown Massacre for doing it their way. They're real rebels, as the lyrics to this song show:

Brian Jonestown Massacre - Wasting Away

I was also fortunate enough to see BJM play a gig recently. Here's a personal account. Dig it.
