I just recently saw the film DiG! about the Brian Jonestown Massacre and Dandy Warhols and decided to check out some of BJM's music. I picked up Tepid Peppermint Wonderland (compilation) and it's great. Anybody else here like them? What are some other good albums?

sonik life has a couple of kiss-ass net friends
Go to http://www.brianjonestownmassacre.com/mp3.html and Anton has just about all their albums there to download for free. Part of his keep music evil campaign.
They are all worth checking out.

yeah they are really great, ive seen both the dandys and the brian jonestown massacre live, and they both rocked but the BJM were better, they create this amazing wall of sound that make you feel like your on some wonderful drug. im seeing them again in june.

After I watched DiG! (great film, by the way) I went out and bought some Brian Jonestown CDs. Really cool stuff, but some of it is kind of repetitive (similar ideas and chord progessions in a lot of the songs). I would really love to see them live, though.

Among my favorite bands. I too learned of them after watching dig. I mainly bought dig for the dandy warhols, but was glad to be introduced to the bjm.

I'd also love to see them live, but I would've loved to have seen the old lineup with matt and joel.

Just curious, but what exactly did Joel do? He just seemed like the charismatic groupie that fucked around with a tamborine on stage. From the movie, it didn't seem like he really contributed to the group musically.

yeah he was pretty much the personality on stage. Also he tried his hardest to keep the band from getting disfunctional.

I like them, but surely conversations about their music would all be along the lines of 'that song sounds like one of the bands they copy' they have good tunes but not a single original idea.

The Brian Jonestown Massacre are fucking good. Anton Newcombe is a really good sonmgwriter.

And yes, Cantankerous, the name is referring to Brian Jones from the Stones. Anton has claimed he was the mystic talent of the band or something along the line, 'cause he played sitar and a bunch of instruments, as does Anton.

That are similar to BJM? Not really, not that I can think of. They've got a really 60s/70s sound, so try alot of musicians from back then.

Pete from the Black Rebel Motorcycle Club was in the BJM. If you don;t own any of their albums, then get them, they're great, especially the last album is very BJM.
