The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Give It Back
Arguably the best BJM disc, that's kind of irrevlent here since they are already in the tunefilter Hall of Fame. Ten reasons why: 10 - their mastery of "sacred musical geometry" 9 - the wild sitar on this CD 8 - they started a riot at their Detroit show on the 97 tour 7 - Joel - "who plays tambourine, smokes incessantly, and has a propensity for flicking lit cigarettes at his audience" 6 - coolest guitar collection you'll ever see on one stage 5 - they show up to press interviews with four guitars, a tambourine, a harmonica, and a 12-pack of Miller High Life 4 - they offered to give an Elektra A&R rep a ride to a show and then showed up on a bicycle 3 - their CD is "recorded live @ our house for a total cost of $17.36" 2 - they started a riot in a room full of record company scouts at the Viper Room (Los Angeles) in September, 1996 1 - Anton telling a bloke in the audience at a Berkeley show who they named "Superman" that he had a kryptonite cock-ring and was going to fuck him in the ass.
