Wear White and Come When I Call

Monday night I saw this new documentary called DIG!, which follows the rivalry between two indie bands, The Brian Jonestown Massacre and The Dandy Warhols, and particularly between their front men, Anton and Courtney. I wasn't particularly into either of those bands before, but you don't have to be to LOVE the movie. Here's the trailer.

I hate reviewing things, so I'll just post some of my favorite quotes from the movie (I was frantically scribbling in my notebook the whole time.)

(Anton on the music industry):
"Until they can write the letter that I write, I'm the letter writer and they're just the postman."

(Anton, fighting with band member):
"You fucking broke my sitar, motherf*cker!"

(Miranda Lee Richards on drugs)
"All those 60s bands got into drugs, but they were famous first."

You can't tell from the trailer, but the tambourine guy from The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Joel Gion, completely steals the movie. He needs to be famous. I want to make t-shirts and signs that say "Joel Gion For Famous 2004" I want to be him for Halloween. Anyway, he is now a very popular topic of discussion among my female friends who saw the movie. Dig! opens at the Sunshine on Friday and also somewhere in LA.
