It's back! MDYHTS is our semi-irregular column featuring Music Documentaries You Have To See. This time around it's DiG!, a 2004 documentary focusing on the bands, The Dandy Warhols and The Brian Jonestown Massacre. Although the film follows the early careers of each of these bands, it is the drama and controversy surrounding The Brian Jonestown Massacre's leader Anton Newcombe, that really commands the attention of the viewer. Over the course of the film, Newcombe's simultaneous creativity and instability bring new depth to the term "tortured genius." This guy can write damn good music, but he is damn crazy too. You'll be blown away by the dichotomy. Enjoy!
