Actually I thought I had lost a great numb......... Actually I thought I had lost a great number of these cassettes he either mailed or gave to me in storage when I moved to Seattle in June of 94. But as fate would have it I had the wherewithal to give them to my ex-girlfriend who also is still a very good friend of Anton from 1986 to the present. ( back home now in Newport Beach for another 10 days then back to lousy Portland, oregon ) She also has her own trophies of time as well thanks to Anton sending her his music and sharing his story of what was happening in SF during this very fruitful and amazing period of his life. Anyway, YES that is ANTONS handwriting on your cassette.No doubt about it. And your story is very relevant and exact to a certain point. He was often incredibly excited about his music and glowing with confidence and untameable energy. You simply got the dates mixed up by 4-6 months and the story + timeline wrong. 1st BJM was indeed Psalm 93 colliding into Anton solo looking for new musicians to form his new band. Matt Hollywood was nowhere to be seen or found at this time. Anton later picked him to join along with Travis and Dean and Jeff and Joel and whoever else I cant recall. TRUTH BE KNOWN. They were still almost a full year away... Psalm 93 consisted primarily of Anton Newcombe and these folks listed in the credits DAWN ( anton's girlfriend ) ANTON CHRISTINE ( i love youuuuu, i never want to see you again ) ERIK and finally KAREN.... THIS WAS THE OFFICIAL LINE UP ACCORDING TO ANTON HIMSELF ON BOTH PSALM 93 RELEASES >>>> "As he lays on them the curse" Psalm 93 #2 ( tangible records 003 ) And "Child of 60 bitches" Psalm 93 #1 ( tangible records 001 ) <br />Lastly: I also discovered last night ANTON recorded two versions of my song Popsicle Lady. Which he re-worked and added lyrics to make it his own song minus the chorus.. VERY BRITISH!! Much, much more to discover! Thank you BJM /ANTON NEWCOMBE!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155657695307456108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641180409368549210.post-49671660994903089482019-01-25T13:06:43.717-08:002019-01-25T13:06:43.717-08:00This story is every bit as remarkable as it is ina...This story is every bit as remarkable as it is inaccurate. For one: I was with Anton when the name Brian Jonestown Massacre was formulated in early 91 outside the Horseshoe cafe on Lower Haight. Secondly I lived with him for a few weeks on Buchanan st. during this time playing music with him and recording his music while I was there. ( dangerous in the early 90s but more importantly affordable ) I still have In my possession a mind-blowing collection of early pre bjm anton newcombe home cassette recordings and actual 1st recordings of BJM ( mostly anton circa 91/93. I have letters and postcards he sent me as well as photographs I took of him playing vintage guitars exactly at this same time-line to prove when BJM actually formed. More importantly the actual 1st recordings which I recorded up there on my Tascam 688 8 track cassette home studio of Anton doing feedback guitar, vocals, harmonies and loops, synthesizer + bass and drums / drum machines etc. There are also a minimum of a half dozen home recordings of him and I ( but mostly just him ) which predate his move to San Francisco. Here he is recording everything from dystopian analog synth classical quartet compositions to funk based hip hop... Also punk and of course neo-psychedelic as well as stripped down manson style folk. But forget all this for a moment. WHAT I REALLY WANT TO TELL YOU IS THIS >>> Late last night (1-25-2019) I rediscovered after more than a quarter century quite possibly the holy grail of all his pre BJM recordings ( Psalm 93 #2 ) At this hour of the day I can't yet verify that it has ever been transferred to digital audio. Nor can I verify if there are any other copies of it out there in existence. Bear in mind this was recorded via 4-track cassette recordings up until October 1990. The "child of 60 bitches" Tangible records 01 was recorded up until August 1990. The Psalm 93 #2 includes 3 songs from the 1st release 1000 tears ( which became the song stars from the "thank god for mental illness" record ) Teleflow and Eight toes. ( a song about a lovely San Francisco girl with 8 toes he actually met ) In addition to these 3 songs there are another 10 original Anton Newcombe songs that are every bit as fantastic as the first release. Lots of loops and eternal hall reverb with subtle feedback. Acoustic guitars and some electric... Recorded "live" with overdub harmony and vocals and then bounced into 1 track to make room for more tracks. He never had enough tracks with only 4 so would always deploy this home recording tactic even when i brought in the big gun guns with my 688 he continued to bounce and then flip tape to record on track 1 which became track 8 with backwards vocals or guitar and ambient sounds. ( clever lad ) Anyway... Back to this recent discovery. Since this Psalm 93 #2 ( "as he lays on them the curse" ) 13-14 tracks total came out just prior to the 1st Brian Jonestown Massacre Era. Naming of, then actual BAND with young Travis, Matt, Ricky, then Joel then Jeff Davies then Dean and then the rest of them. Circa 92/93/94/95 and onward.

I just discovered your blog today, and while I haven't had the chance to browse through the entirety of your archives, I must say that I'm enjoying what I see so far. It appears to be a regular treasure trove of rare gems. I wanted to inform you that the download link for this album is no longer working. I would really like to listen to this. I was hoping you would be willing to re-upload this, and if so, would you care to leave a message in the comments section of my own blog if you are able to? I learned a long time ago that I'm very forgetful when it comes to remembering which posts on which blogs that I left comments on, which led to me missing out on many of the albums I requested to be re-uploaded. Again, thank you for all the amazing music you have shared here. I'm going to resume browsing through your archives now. Take care.<br /><br />0II<br /><br />P.S.
