The Josh Lattaland Extermination
How do we at Lattaland promote ourselves? By totally plagiarizing the hard work of others, of course!
Just kidding. This is a totally loving homage to the last rock n’ roll band to matter, The Brian Jonestown Massacre.
Anton, did you sell your soul? A: Well, I tried to but the line was so long I said, ‘Fuck it!’
Like, if you already seen ‘Dig’ you pretty much know the gist of this story on The Brian Jonestown Massacre from Bad Trip No. 11 October 1997. Still, though, it’s kinda neat to go back and read about the halcyon days as they were happening n’ junk.
I wonder how many other people out there read a story or two like this on The Brian Jonestown Massacre, or an interview with Anton, then ran out and bought all their records? Oh, how I miss the days when you would buy an album without hearing a note. The internet ruined all that for everyone. Eh, what am I saying? I love the internet. In fact, this little story is a gift to you, internet. Read quietly, children. Then rock out loud.
So, you guys gettin’ all worked up over the fact that the BJM is coming to your jerkwater town?
You should be, not only will original members Matt Hollywood and Joel Gion will be there, but you can also buy the old-school-stadium-tour-style-tee-shirt I illustrated slash designed for this joyous occasion.
