Dig! (DVD)

The inside cover from word go is slanted t'wards the favouritism of The Brian Jonestown Massacre, I (but who am I) would have preferred more freedom for the viewer to make up their own mind.
The film itself comprises the edited highlights of 7 years worth of the documentary makers voyueristic pursuit of 2 bands the aforementioned B.J.M. and The Dandy Warhols.
The DVD cover suggests that the Warhos sold out and lost integrity and are therefore far less cool & hip than the BJM, the movie is less judgemental and will show both sides of this bizarre relationship quite well. I won't spoil anything but bear in mind these thoughts as you witness what appears to be a train wreck of a life unfold. I should point out that a lot of the more unbiased footage was edited out for length purposes. Perhaps a mini-series that's endorsed by all parties will be made one day. Here's hoping.
The seemingly petty ignition sources for youthful powderkeg energies are not to be viewed too harshly though, as the emotional and physical fatigue of a season on the road will test anyones resolve.
Depending on your perspective it's all an amazing hoot. It's both fly on the wall and seat of the pants. I was left not knowing entirely what to think though I must profess the music throughout was excellent in the extreme, supplied of course by The Dandy Warhols and the BJM.
