Another track from The BJM Berlin recording sessions. This one, Illuminomi (v2), was recorded 1/14/12 or so the YouTubes tell us. Press play.

There just isn't enough time in my days right now. Here's the new formula around here while I am finishing up my training at the restaurant...instead of trying to do a small posting here and there, my new goal will be to put out a playlist every week. Hopefully that works for you over the next few months until life settles down a bit. I was pretty excited about some of the live shows that have been announced in Vancouver over the next while. Here are some songs from must-see shows coming to town. Enjoy. [...]

The latest track from The Brian Jonestown Massacre's Berlin recording sessions was posted today on Anton's YouTube channel. It is called Face Down On The Moon. It is accompanied by some Sacred Geometry visuals. Check it.

Anton Newcombe/Fjordson has been busy recording new BJM tracks, putting some trippy visuals together, and posting them on his YouTube channel. The new project is called (at least for now) WORK IN PROGRESS/BERLIN DE. A few days ago we shared The Revolution Will Not Be Digitised, today we have a new track and accompanying visuals for Doomdub/UFO Paycheck. He is also including Bible verses as captions. This one references Isaiah 24:18-20. You can look it up or head over to his YouTube page to check the verse.

Here's a nice little treat for your Monday, a new tune and video that just popped up on Anton's YouTube channel, from The Brian Jonestown Massacre. The only info we have on this track was that it was recorded yesterday in Berlin, and it comes with the curious caption, "Where the f**k is Kevin Shields?". This is The Revolution Will Not Be Digitised.
