The Brian Jonestown Massacre
Thank God For Mental Illness
1996 - a prolific year for BJM. This is one of four CDs that the band released in 1996 in between their club performances / bar brawls. We got turned on to the "country psychedia" sounds of this disc early last year in SF when we checked them out at a local club and was nearly hit in the head by this CD when it was flung from the stage as swag. While there would be little hyperbole in our saying that the BJM show was one of the best we've ever seen, we also took a quick liking to live, lo-fi tunes on this recording. This band wins on every single "cool" category that there is in rock, with the possible exception of coolest album art for this particular CD (although, they do take the top spot with coolest logo).
