The film that was called "the best rock documentary since Gimme Shelter" by, uh, someone, "DIG!", is out on DVD. Double DVD. Double DVD with a special CD exclusive to Best Buy. "GULP", you people think; "what the hell is going on here? What is up with the Best Buy plug?" Well, there is nothing I can do about the Best Buy plug, but me needs go give a huge shout out and congratulations to WFMU's very own Pseu Braun for getting her interview (unedited, btw) with Anton Newcombe of the Brian Jonestown Massacre included on this very major release exclusive to the national retailer. This is the film that sort of studies the celebrity deathmatch style goings-on between BJM and the Dandy Warhols and more or less went head to head with Metallica's "Some Kind of Monster" at Sundance. You can listen to the full Brian Jonestown Massacre live broadcast and the interview that Pseu conducted on October 24, 2003 with Anton here,
But check out the DVD cover with special sticker alterting the savvy consumer to the particular version with the limited edition CD included, and the CD listing itself that credits her along with WFMU, without any typos. If you buy your own copy, you'll be pleased to see the Best Buy logo on the bottom of the cd sleeve that I lopped off for space considerations here. And if you haven't already, you might just want to actually check the movie out.
