Brian Jonestown Massacre Preps 2xCD Anthology

Undaunted by relative obscurity, well-publicized dementia, rotating pie-rack lineup changes, and a long-running feud with industry scum-rockers The Dandy Warhols now memorialized in the indie documentary sensation Dig!, Anton Newcombe and his labor of tough love, The Brian Jonestown Massacre, soldier wearily onward. Though the band's now off the road (following an opening slot for Guided by Voices in L.A. last night) and are hypothetically hard at work on their upcoming 14th record, We Are the Radio, die-hards and intimidated newbies alike will delight in the impending release of Tepid Peppermint Wonderland, a two-disc retrospective of the Massacre's finest.
