Dream of the 90s is alive in this doc

Need a little Brian Jonestown Massacre on this Oscar morning

Love the Dandy's, love the BJM, love the chaos in this doco... Anton Newcombe, such a gift and a waste at the same time

Mmmmmm. I've been in the mood to watch this again for months!

After a couple hours of losing my mind playing guitar/piano/wall/floor/beer bottle/etc, I think I need a good music documentary. DIG! is a documentary about the Brain Jonestown Massacre and Dandy Warhols from the mid 90's through the early 2000's. I own the DVD, and have enjoyed it many a time, but it always bothered me that it is narrated by Courtney Taylor of the dandy warhols. Courtney would have you believe that Anton Newcomb is an antisocial musical genius that is too dumb to snag a multi-million dollar recording contract, while the Dandy Warhols are the creative pinnacle of a coming musical revolution who just happened to get screwed by capitol records. In reality, the dandy warhols were an ok band, but were always more concerned with getting that multi-million dollar record contract. For all his ups and downs, Anton has continued to write and record amazing music, and release it independently. looking back, Anton had the last laugh, and his musical legacy will be his story.

Holy crap. Great film, literally had to turn it off bc I found Anton Newcombe so unbelievably irritating...
