Massacring credibility

[Soundtrack]
The Brian Jonestown Massacre – Spun.mp3
(If you like this track, BJM has posted all of its albums for free at their home page.)

Hey, rock n rollers, run don’t walk to your local indie movie palace to check out Dig!, the new documentary comparing and contrasting the incredible, amazingly self-destructive Brian Jonestown Massacre and the lousier-but-better-behaved Dandy Warhols. Dig! traces the fall, rise and kinda sick "rivalry" between these two brother bands. If you go to gigs at all, you must see this if only for the scene when BJM plays the Viper Room, absolutely the most disastrous concert I’ve ever seen (except of course for this one). And (embarassing to admit) it is completely hilarious.

Dig! won the Grand Jury Prize at the Sundance Film Festival last year, so it’s not just me liking it, OK?

Separate but related: my Dad greeted me yesterday with a hearty “That William Shatner album sucks!” which was then followed by hearty “Yeahs!” and “Sucks!” from my teenage brothers. “You’re losing credibility with me already!” I guess taking 37 years to start losing credibility is a good thing, right?

    I listened to a good chunk of the William Shatner cd at a listening post and I thought it was excellent, particularly “That’s Me, Trying”.Ben Folds is incredibly tasteful and Shatner is a very talented voice actor IMHO.
