the 27 club

i found another gem last night on netflix (actually callum found it, i apparently cannot be trusted to choose movies as they always turn out horribly disturbing or all around god-awful). it's called 'the 27 club' and it stars joe anderson (across the universe, control, the crazies). the plot is based around elliot, the surviving member of the band finn after his best friend / band mate commits suicide just a week after his twenty-seventh birthday, and his drug-infused, cross-country trip across the usa.

the movie takes reference from the forever 27 club, which is a group of rock superstars who all died at the young and tender age of 27. this group includes the likes of jim morrison, janis joplin, jimi hendrix, brian jones, and kurt cobian.

touchy subject matter, but a fantastic movie. check out the trailer below.

did you forget, were you bleeding.

reign on - the brian jonestown massacre shared by shesalicegrey

i heard this song last night while callum was playing one of his brian jonestown massacre records and it has been on repeat ever since. the voice you hear is miranda lee richards, one of the many artists that have collaborated with bjm over the years.

on a side, if you haven't seen the brian jonestown massacre / the dandy warhols documentary 'DIG!' you need to find it right away. the film is a collection of footage following the band's careers over a seven year span. it's erratic and tragic, but an absolute gem.
