Dig!


Shameless self-promoting rock acts The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols fight, drink gallons of booze, take copious amounts of drugs, and melt-down in this warts-and-all documentary. Featuring grainy self-aggrandizing interviews and often-interrupted-by-drug-and-alcohol-induced violent concert clips; someone says, "We're going to start a revolution, and we'll show you how.", and someone says, "Someone broke my sitar.". That someone is Anton Newcombe, and he's fascinating. Buy his records. I watched Dig! on DVD. Here's a trailer:


And here's a clip where The Brian Jonestown Massacre actually make it through a song without kicking someone in the face, smashing their gear, or mentioning The Dandy Warhols:
