christ - haven't the BJM transcended ondi's film yet? anton's made countless albums and the BJM has spawned loads of great groups (warlocks, dilettantes, miranda lee richards, sky parade, BRMC) and still you go on about that film! no wonder he's tired of hearing about it.

Dig! was funny but about as accurate and balanced as a political article in The Sun. Writers need to focus more on that formidable back catalogue and the insane new album. Unless they're writing for The Sun, of course.

Brilliant! got tickets for Cockpit and Glastonbury. any idea wot stage they will be playing?iv seen this band about 5 times. absoloutly exhilerating.. As much as Anton doesnt like Dig! we th fans cannot deny that it has raised his public profile to such a level that they can now tour Britain every year. Pre Dig! it was VERY rare to catch Jonestown in this country.maybe the films euphoria has died down slightly now, and there wont be so many people in the crowd just there to see anton fighting.this was the case in the slightly bigger venues they were playing last tour. Extended version of Swallowtail! Get in!
