Brian Jonestown Massacre "Their Satanic Majesties Second Request"

The dudes in this band must be crazy, because they do crazy things like have their complete records for download off of their website. Not just a streaming download either, but a "save to your hard drive and listen at your own leisure" download... what is this band thinking? Art for free?! Just sitting there for anybody (with a computer) to enjoy?! How un-american. There is a documentary out about this band and the Dandy Warhols that I'm sure you may have heard about. It's called DIG!... I haven't personally seen it yet, because I really don't have 36 bones right now to drop on the DVD. Anton Newcombe, BJM frontman and staple member, has beef with the current version of the film. If you're interested you can read his statement about it here. I'm posting a couple songs from BJM's 1996 Stones soaked second full length "Their Satanic Majesties Second Request". As you may already know this band is named after the coolest Rolling Stone to ever live, Brian Jones. You know the sitar picking in "Paint It Black"? Yeah, that was him. From what I heard (and read) said the guy could pick up any instrument and play like no tomorrow. Jones can be credited with not only founding The Rolling Stones, but introducing eastern musical instruments into western rock n' roll. Back in the day Brian Jonestown Massacre would have probrably been right up their with The Stones and other popular psychedelic acts of the 60's, but being a few generations to late they have to settle for a large cult fallowing and underground notoriety. BJM have a list of records that is longer then most bands careers... including three that were made in one year (1996; "Their Satanic Majesties Second Request", "Thank God For Mental", and "Take It From the Man"). Their dreamy pop sound is heavily influenced, but not limited to, 60's psychedelic rock... fun fun.

I'm sick with a cold and tired of writing, so kick back, throw on some puffy headphones, and chillax.

keep music evil

Side note, since I downloaded these songs from BJM's website I think you have to use Winamp or Macamp (for Mac heads) to play the songs. If for some reason your unable to listen to the songs try using those programs.
