I am obsessed with Anton Newcome again. I had a huge fight with the singer of my band on sunday, and the next day I got a long email apolgising for his behaviour and saying that given my current opinion of him, I must think the band are very similar to the Brian Jonestown Massacre. It is a long time, since I have read something that has made me laugh and cry at the same time. Not only has it made the singer and I best freinds again (and this can be a lot more nauseating to people we know, then when we are fighting all the time) but it has re-kindled my strange obsession with Mr Newcome.

Anton Newcome is the ego-maniacal lead singer of BJM. He is arguably more famous for his bad behaviour, than he is for his musical tallents. Youtube basically exists for me to follow his progress on film with a mixture of fascination and despair.

This video of a BJM performance in LA is too funny.


"Fucking motherfucker broke my sitar, motherfucker"!

even better, is this little gem. It is more about BJM Guitarist; Jeff, however Jeff's musings on the world cannot be ignored, becuase they are so, like, inciteful. I laughed, I laughed hard.





Watch it from 1.45 onwards, you wont go away empty handed. I am sure Jeff is not taking the piss. Anton's wisdom that "everyone together is the eye of the pyramid" is a fine example of the perculiar type of global paranoia that kicks in when one has partaken in LSD.

Seriously, real people can be far more funny than comedic creations at times. I also find Anton's Lonsdale T-shirt really funny too, for some reason.
