05.20.05Netflix Another great documentary. I didn't know anything about either The Brian Jonestown Massacre or The Dandy Warhols (other than hearing about one and not the other) but this moviethrows up a really great portrait of these two bands and the guys who lead them and manages to tell a story that elevates beyond music but essentially remains about Rock and Roll. Hearing the BJM guy talk reminds me a lot of some people I know... and hearing the DW guy reminds me a lot about Mozart and Salieri... except it's flipped due to the sordid state of the music industry today where talent and innovation take a back seat to fitting a mold and commercial commodity. ALl in all it's a really interesting story told through all the years and haircuts that give these kinds of years-in-the-making docs extra credit.
