I went to see the Brian Jonestown Massacre play yesterday night at El Salon, in Montreal. At one point, the singer Anton Newcombe praised local band the High Dials, before expressing his opinion for other locals The Dears with the words: "Murray (Lightburn, leader of the Dears) sucks". The band's guitarist then claimed that he had the same birthdate as Morrissey, and that "everytime Murray Lightburn sucks Morrissey's dick, he's sucking mine". Which, obviously, makes total sense.

If they were just nice then they may have been given a couple of breaks by The Dears, as The Killers did for The Bravery. Wait until after you're famous to start slagging people off though. Ugh, the bravery.

Anton Newcombe (Score:1)
Anton comes across as a total mentalist who really doesn't have a firm grip on reality.
A lot of the documentary style film was him getting in to fights, gibbing out on smack and generally being more than a bit peculiar.
Good music though, I have a couple of their albums and they're really great.

you know... (Score:1)
someone mentioned that BJM and The Dears hav played shows together before and so maybe somethin happened there that created hard feelings. well, maybe they really got along. imean, the fact that they played shows together and got to talkin is presumably how Anton got to know how big a Moz fan Murray is (as im sure he doesnt frequent morrissey-solo to find that out). maybe as he was tryin to get the crowds back up, he was simultaneously taking a friendly jab at a former tourmate. im sure many here hav been the butt of many jokes made by friends who like to hav a little fun with the Morrissey obsession. iknow ihav.
its often the tendency around here to assume the worst, but maybe Anton was juste havin a little fun.

On High Dials and bullshit American indie bands (Score:1)
And that obviously, BJM are the sort of stupid, bullshit, damaged, deranged, slacker, loser, American band that just doesn't play outside the bullshit, damaged, deranged, slacker, loser United States. When you see "Dig" you think: how could anyone sensible and nice, with a good record collection and a desire to make the world a cooler place, care about either of the two maniacal, myopic, self-aggrandizing, but obviously sub-standard and derivative, bands involved?
There's a reason people like bands from Toronto and Montreal. It's because they're produced by a society not entirely ruined, such as our American neighbours. Socialism works: check it out.
But that's nothing to do with the High Dials. They suffer from nothing more than this: good, old-fashioned mediocrity.
