Same with DiG! The music of those bands was really meaningless to me, but their story was good.
I put off watching this one because I can't stand The Dandy Warhols, and my knowledge of The Brian Jonestown Massacre was limited to one album, Give It Back, which was interesting, but sounded like Syd Barrett doing The Beatles (although I guess that's better than Oasis, who sound like Hootie and the Blowfish doing The Turtles doing The Beatles).
anyway, I watched it the other night and it was quite good.
my opinion hasn't changed regarding The Dandy Warhols, if anything I dislike them and their posing, manipulative prettyboy singer more than I did before. and although I wouldn't want to spend 10 minutes with Anton Newcombe of TBJM, I would listen to his music.
but Newcombe is batshit crazy. and drugs make him über batshit crazy. after watching this movie, I'm glad my drug days are behind me. I'll just kill myself with booze, it's much more civilized.
very good movie.
