I told you I wasn’t done with the BJM, and I won’t be done after this post either.  They have so much amazing, untouched material.  I had many Brian Jonestown Massacre songs that I wanted to share, but Who? really stands out.  It just sounds like it should be mainstream.  I mean, why didn’t this get huge in 1996 when they released their album Take It From The Man?  Shouldn’t The Brian Jonestown Massacre be a common household name by now?  No, why?  I know the answer, but I’m not telling.

I’m not telling because I still want you to watch the documentary DiG!.  It pretty much lays out why the BJM isn’t as popular as they deserve to be.  If you are interested in a short look into the mind of Anton Newcombe (BJM leader) then you could take a look at this, or if you are particularly daring, this.  Yes, he is more than a little bit crazy.

I could only find a live video for this one, but I think it works pretty well.  The Brian Jonestown Massacre sound is very much a 60s/70s vibe and the video looks like it was made in that time frame as well.  It was actually made in 2008.  Weird, huh.
