NFT: Any Brian Jonestown Massacre fans here?

lono801 : 2/17/2018 7:37 pm
My buddy sent me a few of their tunes today...

And I spent the rest of the day digging deeper...17 albums I'm reading

I'm going to be busy...what a great sound.

Any songs I must hear?
Great band

If I were gonna start with a couple albums I'd go with "Bravery, Repetition, and Noise" and "And This is Our Music". "Take it From the Man" is probably their closest effort to anything that could be considered mainstream popular. Enjoy the deep dive.

I have been listening all day...I have yet to hear a song I don't like...

That never happens...

Just For Today....wow what a tune

Thanks for the tips
OK, I'll start by saying thanks for the heads up.

I read this thread, and went straight to youtube to check them out. One of the tracks sounded familiar, then I realized it's the theme to Boardwalk Empire. Next stop on the web is Amazon for some cd's. Thanks again.
Definitely check out the documentary Dig!

That's how I discovered them.
Dig - ( New Window )
Good band for sure

Even though Anton is kinda nuts. Telegram is probably my favorite song
One...

Of my very favorite live shows!!! More so 10-15 years ago but still great recently!!! After Dig came out all the audiences wanted to see was Anton fighting with band members, still awesome shows though!!!
First gig I ever played...

Was opening for these guys in 98 at the Saint in Asbury. Really cool group of guys, but Anton was a rockstar. Complete jerk. Mad props to them for still being around. I have no clue how they have a fanbase though

"you broke my sitar motherfucker !!"

There are some really great bits in that film. It was amazing watching Anton compose The Devil May Care right in front of you.
Not the biggest BJM fan, but I own

a few of their records.

Anton's record label is pretty good: "The Committee to Keep Music Evil". Check out Castleface and In The Red Records too.
After watching DIG...

It's clear he has a vision or a goal...

It's clear he is an ass

That said...his music is questionable and brilliant at the same time...

As a complete offering...I find it hard to argue with his genius

Maybe I just like that LA 60's vibe...


That's great music
It's just a bit darker than Kramer was doing at Shimmy Disc

Back in the late 80's

Shimmy Disc and Kramer lead the way to this sound...

It's all great stuff
