Brian Jonestown Massacre live:
Ahh, pretty freaking great - which surprised me, after a cancelled show earlier in the day - an hour before the midnight show Anton still did not have a drummer or third guitarist available, the usual members were stuck in another town having missed a plane or some such...but the ring-in friends held things together amazingly well, and the first song was a fifteen minute drone-on that buzzed-out the packed, sweat-soaked crowd. The rest of the show was of a similar wavelength, very melodic and full of spiralling high points, with beer. There was no overt evidence of any erratic behaviour that I've witnessed at a previous BJM gig (and is documented elsewhere) - although I'll admit I was tired & emotional by that stage of the evening, and may be misinterpreting things...but I don't think so.
I'm certainly keen to see them again if the opportunity arises...hmmmm...anyway, that particular evening rolled on down the road with a show by um, Helmet. Which was bone-crushingly powerhouse-core etc, and all that I suppose. BJM were great though!
I've made some interesting musical discoveries this year - thanks to myspace, and the ever lovely Graham Reid. Salon Kingsadore and the gorgeous Gionamarco Liguori; Sundae Club; onelung; Little Glitches; Sam Sallon; Nightmares on Wax; Kings of Convenience; Cities of Foam amongst others. My best ever discovery has to be One Million Dollars. Love them muchly, and I've even gone so far as to go to a live gig at the Safari Lounge. And no-one ever drags me out on a school night to see a gig unless they're really special. Wonderful.
