Speaking of Brian Jonestown Massacre ...
This was one hot band in the mid 90s, even with the somewhat ill-chosen name, though I'm kind of a sucker for the smart wordsmith, so blending the clear Brian Jones-era Stones influence in their sound with the latter day mass cult suicide in Jonestown seems somehow prophetic. Maybe a bit forced, sure, but it is rock and roll, and overindulgence is the norm.
Anyway, it's all about the music, and this band delivers solidly on at least two records, Take It From The Man and Give It Back!, though I'm sure other fans may lean towards others. Just loaded a couple songs from the latter, and already one from the former at SotD. Sometimes mixed in/up with the Dandy Warhols, but maybe a little better defined in their career goals. I do love the Dandy's Thirteen Tales from Urban Bohemia, but they sometimes seem to lack a real "sound" beyond that record. Or even song-to-song on that record. But BJM has a swagger befitting the sound.
