PHONEY!

I have herpes

Every time I watch anything Dandy’s related Anton fan boys pop up in the comments to completely dismiss the music that the DW’s make and try to pretend the DW’s have fallen off the Earth and no one cares about them. Could you BE an a bigger gatekeeper Chad ??Sorry Anton worshippers BJM does their thing and so do the DW’s. They both kick ass and enjoy a large and loyal fan base. That kind of pretentious scenester attitude is exactly why I never try to keep with up what’s “ cool “ It’s the opposite of real creativity and the punk ethos that makes real subcultures so fun.

Love Zia❤

LOVE the Black Album.

As much as I like the Black album for its raw unfiltered sound and ideas - Come Down is a great example of what good production and mixing can do to transform a bands sound into something more professional and polished.

TRUMP 2024! AND FAWK WHAT PORTLAND HIPSTERS THINK. I DO NOT CARE IF YOU GOT SIGNED, YOU TALENTLESS DRUGGIE.

Trump was actually a good president.Just every one bought into the main stream media bullshit.Biden is corrupt and has dementia and Obama was a war monger who has a guy for a wife which is fine if he told the truth.

What I like of dig is the fact that it seems a mockumentary. Bjm are terrible, they don't know how to to tune a guitar, but they ae😢 natural comedians

This was a great doco , it showed how 2 bands took different paths , The Dandys took the corporate path to achieve success and BJM seemed to want to ""keep it real" ! BJM are without doubt one of the greatest bands of recent times .

A very pert pair …. Thanks , Zia !

Oddly, I thought that the message of Dig! was the opposite of what Zia says here. I thought that the Dandy's - by standing in contrast Newcombe - were the heroes of the doc. In my opinion, they came off as both the better band AND the more responsible (which is to say, less self-centered) of the two acts. I found myself wondering throughout the whole thing why everyone in it kept deferring to Newcombe's "genius." If anything, I thought it was the story of a) someone who had potential, and who could have been a genius if he wasn't both convinced of his own genius himself and afraid of his own success, and b) the better band that ultimately outgrew him and left him behind.

Every person in DIG are mentally challenged

Actually the Dandys came off in the doc as the functional band as opposed to the BJM dysfunction, that much was obvious, the worst the Dandy's had to deal with was Courtney's fragile ego. Other than that Zia's wrong about that not being clear. It was just overshadowed a bit by the BJM drama.

Very grounded individuals. They Garage Rock!

I've watched DIG a bunch of times, and I have to disagree with Zia's interpretation of the message. Sure, the BJM wrote some great songs, but the success arc of the Dandies was clearly evident by the end of the film, whereas Anton was left struggling in obscurity. I don't think the film did anything to glorify Anton or his lifestyle. That being said, I love both bands. I saw the Dandies about a decade ago and Zia gave me a hug after the show. Best night ever.

Zia, I don't know how you still hold the democrat party near and dear with what they did to Bernie, and even what they are doing now to RFK. They are turning the elections and democracy into a joke filled corruption.

'Dig' was a riveting and sometimes sad behind the scenes look at the dynamics of two young bands trying to make it in the cutthroat and disingenuous music biz and how they dealt with the chew em up and spit em out world of record company's. But, I disagree with Mia's reaction to the doc...the Dandy's come across as far more responsible and mature than BJJM, especially Anton, who comes across as a talented yet self-indulgent and self-destructive 'Spinal Tap' type A-hole. On a happy note, I'm glad to see that both bands survived the R&R lifestyle and are still performing to this day...good for them...Rock On!

My take on Dig! was almost the opposite of Zia's. I didn't think the film glorified Anton's disfunction, or portrayed him as any more legit an artist because of it. I thought the film showed two bands starting off as relative equals in talent, with one band succeeding and the other band "failing" because of that disfunction, with some luck involved because the Dandys benefitted from a television commercial and got off easy on the drugs. Ironically, the film has since tied the bands together in such a way that they are, once again, relatively equal in popularity on the road (though probably not in royalties).

Zia. What do you think of the president 2023?

An exploitive documentary, sadly.

Brilliant Documentary Dig! Anton is funny af

she should hold off on the interviews..... just play the music and quit being a philosopher

👑

Even with his ticks, he has such a beautiful way of articulating himself - wise and thought-provoking.

I cNt wait to see yous in Liverpool wind faktory I ❤😂😊

greg is the best

I just watched the documentary. Loved the BJM for years, but it got me into the Dandy Warholes. I must say, they are brilliant. Currently sifting through their albums. I must say, Zia is a smoking hottie. Good moves and good vibes girl. 😎 Joel is also Mr cool.

The Goofus and Gallant band rivalry. BJM bad crowd, Dandy goodies. Great doc and worth watching.

I love the fact that one of my favourite people in one of my favourite bands is cool,af

Zia for president.

I I initially loved Dig- and introduced me to BJM and to a lesser extent the dandy’s (sorry dandies) what bothers me most is what she said about it not being totally realistic- also- how would you like to be filmed for 7 years by a trusted filmmaker- and the she uses mostly the worst stuff she can find - tho she says it could have been so much worse- Not for anton at the time- he brushes it off but he still talks about it - said once the film made him feel like a “cockroach “ in terms of personal hygiene and appearance- But the worst thing is that the film leaves watcher with impression that that was the end of BJM/ they probably faded awayX and of course anton MUST be dead- he went through a rough patch with alcohol and drug to self medicate his mental illness- as a soon as he began a new treatment in Berlin, he put the bottle down with no outside support that I’m aware of- and this is highly unusual for a true alcoholic- anyway, my theory is that he never had the disease of addiction in the first place - sure he partied hard- but the party was long gone by 2009 and he knew it. So Anton actually has never been more popular- or more relevant, Imo- It’s too bad some viewers will think he ended up a music casualty- That said, the film exposed him and the dandy’s- so it was a double edged sword Today I don’t like the movie and it’s great that there are now many BJM fans who’s first exposure WAS mot “Dig” - and they will probably love it too- Saw BJM last year and they only played two old songs- the ew ones Rock so hard and make you want to cry

Okay it seems like he has Tourette's or a few ticks here, but when I talked to him after a show, I didn't notice anything like that. I mean, it's been like 10 years but I feel like I would've remembered. Anyway, I don't notice anyone mentioning it ever which I guess means everyone is more tactful and respectful than I am. But anyway, I hope he's doing well, obviously

I remember all the times I would try and kick cold Turkey I’d just lock myself in my room with gallons of water and oatmeal and just watch Dig! On repeat. Out of all media of I’ve ingested that documentary hits so many emotional strings when it is even mentioned to me.

I thought the documentary did an excellent job of showing how together the Dandy's are and I feel like this idea that only a tortured soul could make great music came directly from Courtney.

The Black Album has a lotta great songs. They played several in a recent concert at the Black Cat in DC-- Crack Cocaine Rager, Arpeggio Adaggio, slow version of Minnesoter. Great songs.

Anton wasn't more legit than them because he lived a rock'n'roll lifestyle, he was more legit because he made way better music.

I thought it was a captivating doc. Would be really interesting to do something similar based on the new confines/models/opportunities for current artists. I loved that aspect of DIG the most -- there is a lot of great music out there for audiences but not everyone is going to break big or maybe they will and its due to something no one would have ever expected (which I think BJM being included in intro to Boardwalk Empire which then led to thousands of rolling stones fans to say wow this band is pretty cool might classify as "unexpected")

Always lovely to hear Greg talk, he's an absolute beast on the drums as well as a very interesting speaker. I love that Deerhoof in general aren't afraid to be political.

Watching Dig Anton looks comes across as a dick but as the years gone by the dandy warhols come across as losers and Anton a siiik kent , bless ANTON

As Courtney says in Dig!, “We’re the most well-adjusted band in America.” However, it’s slightly hypocritical to besmirch conflict and drama when you’re into Tiger King.

Liberals 🤢

I truly believe Deerhoof is the best band in the universe

Give it back is a masterpiece. Dandys are boring .

I like the documentary and I especially liked it when I watched it. But now that I watch it later, I do notice that info timoner took some shortcuts. The narration is kind of cringe at times, with these hyperbolic oversimplified utterances. Which wouldn't have been so bad if they didn't have one of the subjects of the films doing the narration. And the timeline is very confusing because they basically stop showing the Brian jonestown massacre after a couple years. Yet they follow the dandy warhols into the turn of the century and beyond.

What kind of parties are you having IF you need to use BJM for pics after their parties?

Zia has great tits

i wonder how long it's been sine SHE saw it, because it didn't show the Dandys as being dysfunctional at all? only BJM were shown to be dysfunctional

lol Zia seems like a massive hater. Her complaining about the doc and the drugs. Her point about "It's about the more fucked up you get, makes you a more legit artist it's not the case" What she REALLY said was "I hated the Doc because it made the BJM bigger than we are and have a legacy forever." People love BJM and Anton still makes great music. The Dandies? Well.....They're just "Passe" "Oh I'm doing good, I gotta be crazy because THE PRESIDENT TRIGGERED ME! By the way, I'm an open liberal parent! Anyways, I know you didn't ask about politics but I HAD to toss that out there. Now let me tell you why the doc sucked, it showed the world how good BJM was and now today they're bigger than we ever were. I wish we still had good songs. Remember the whoo hooo hoooo song?" Just listening her change the convo to politics a few times just makes me cringe. The worst person to have at a dinner party. I'm sure she wouldn't create ANY drama or act high and mighty lol.

The way Greg seems consistently surprised and delighted by his thoughts is really cute and also like it gives a lot of insight into his music.
