Brian Jonestown Massacre My Bloody Underground Out April 15

Anton Newcombe by Linda Skoog
After spending time writing and recording in Liverpool, England and Reykjavik, Iceland; My Bloody Underground will be the thirteenth full-length album released by Brian Jonestown Massacre, set for release on Anton Newcombe's own record label "a recordings" on April 15 2008.

Thirteenth time's a charm for a band who's name a portmanteau of the original and founding member of The Rolling Stones' Brian Jones and the infamous mass cult suicide at Jonestown, Guyana in 1978. Fans and critics of Brian Jonestown Massacre who have eagerly awaited a new album for a little over four years now will not be disappointed with its musical content, quality and controversy to follow.

My Bloody Underground Track listing:
1. Bring Me The Head Of Paul McCartney On Heather Mill's Wooden Peg (Dropping Bombs On The White House)
2. Infinite Wisdom Tooth / My Last Night In Bed With You
3. Who Fucking Pissed In My Well?
4. We Are The Niggers Of The World
5. Who Cares Why
6. Yeah-Yeah
7. Golden-Frost
8. Just Like Kicking Jesus
9. Ljosmyndir
10. Automatic Faggot For The People
11. Darkwave Driver / Big Drill Car
12. Monkey Powder
13. Black hole Symphony

I really don't know to much about this band, but they really know how to name a song.

For anyone curious about these guys, check out the documentary "Dig!" It's about the friendship/rival of BJM and the Dandy Warhols in their early years. It's pretty interesting and extremely entertaining - some excellent rock n roll moments for sure.

i saw a documentary about these guys. good film but this anton guy is a MAJOR A-hole. He would hit his band mates for not playing something just right. he kicked an audience member in the head from onstage and got arrested. i mean, if he wasn't such a pussy he might have killed the guy. i don't care how talented he is, he's a prick and i wouldn't pay to listen to them!

Been listening to BJM ever since I saw Dig, and love their music. So, Anton's a dick, luckily I don't have to put up with him. I can just ignore his personality and groove to the music. Which really is good.

i used to like a little of their stuff after i saw dig, but then i kind of stopped listening. then i saw them at monolith festival last year and it just flat out sucked. it's becoming a little obvious that he just does that asshole thing as an act to draw attention, since he can't play a live show worth a damn.

Aw man, LiberalsForMichaelSavageIn2008, didn't you say something recently about never posting on here ever again? ..Way to follow up on things. ..Or about just needing to bash stuff in general. Always good for a laugh, though..

Dig totally sucks. Giving egotistical addicts and a venue to spew a tonne of gob-shit is not entertaining or educational (unless you are into The Real World or shit like that). And that is exactly what the movie is. Not sure what’s entertaining about two mediocre bands that really have never made any original music talking to a camera about how talented they are. The best line is the jack ass from the Dandy’s saying ”I sneeze hits”. What a cunt.

The only good thing about the Dandy's is that the chick takes her shirt off.

As for BJM, it is all about Anton and he makes that known. That would be OK if the guy was talented. He is like Robert Pollard. He can produce 3 albums a year; but each only has 1 good song and maybe two other ideas that are not well executed.

As for downloading all their albums, you get what you pay for. You can download all of mine too. BFD.

LiberalsForMichaelSavageIn2008 – I thought that you were not going to post anymore? You remember saying that? Not only are you a jack ass, but you are not a man of your word. You can at least have SOME dignity by changing your screen name. You get what you give. I hope that is staring to resonate with you, babe.

couldn't have said it better, kirbrew.. i thought dig! was a sad look at a sub-mediocre rock group.. and it wasn't even well made or interesting. and yes, liberals is a liar and a loser.. i think someone called for just giving him the 'thumbs down' every time he posts and that's what i've been doing..

Got to agree cwith kirdbrew.... lived in SF scene... Hype without substance. That town has too much talent from so many other musicians to grandize this band

My opinion

i know I'll buy their album. and fuck Dig! that is a highly inaccurate portrayal of both bands (for the most part). a movie is called a movie as it is to entertain, and edited so. The Brian Jonestown Massacre has more substance than half the bands there are, period. Or perhaps you have no substance. My opinion.

There is no shortage of egomaniacal asshole musicians who think they are the cat's pajamas but anton takes that to another level. I saw Dig and found both of those bands delusional but it was kinda fun to watch the trainwreck. Anton may have missed his calling in advertising because he is great at self promotion. Whether anton is bipolar or has borderline personality disorder or just a junkie is no excuse for some of the stupid shit he says. When he dismisses Eric Clapton for killing his son (poor child fell to his death in a freak accident) you know you are dealing with a worthless human being, marginal talent aside.

I can't believe Anton Newcombe is still alive. He is so self-destructive. It's ironic because he's in fucking love with himself. Anybody hear about how he removed some ribs and took yoga so he could make out with his own asshole?
