The Lost Weekend

The good folks at iToons tell me that I have legally downloaded 470 tunes onto this lovely white computer. One of those tunes is called (deadset) "Bring Me the Head of Paul McCartney on Heather Mills' Peg (Dropping Bombs on the Whitehouse)". Yes I was pretty surprised that iToons would sell such a ditty, too. But when your band is called Brian Jonestown Massacre, bizarre song titles and album titles like Tepid Peppermint Wonderland seem normal. Lester Bangs would be proud.

Summer 2010

So what a surprise to find out that the BJM will be leaving their cyberspot on my computer - nuzzled in between Brian Cadd and the Brown Birds of Windy Hill - to visit Brinetopia to play at the The Lost Weekend from 5-7 March 2010. Also escaping my computer for The Lost Weekend will be The Gin Club and a bunch of others. Shame the BJM's friends-enemies Dandy Warhols won't be there. Fingers crossed for dry weather. Here's the blurb from the weatherwomen and weathermen:
