The Brian Jonestown Massacre Tepid Peppermint Wonderland Rare
The time couldn't be riper for a look back at a decade of The Brian Jonestown Massacre: This year's excellent documentary Dig! chronicles the strange muse of singer (and sole permanent member) Anton Newcombe, painting him as a mad genius who inspires awe even in those who've felt the brunt of his volatile personality—including his own bandmates and the members of friendly rival outfit The Dandy Warhols. Tepid Peppermint Wonderland: A Retrospective does the curious a service by cutting the prolific band's catalog—10 albums in 10 years, including three in 1996—down to a somewhat more manageable 38 songs. Though still a monumental load to digest, the two-disc set favors Newcombe's least wandering moments, arranging them in a slapdash manner, without regard to chronology or flow: 'Nevertheless,' a swirling pop nugget from 2001 that could have materialized intact from 1966, nudges up against 1995's dense, shoegazing 'Evergreen.' The juxtaposition eventually feels like part of the scheme, though, since every song shares one element: Newcombe's undeniable ear for a pop song, no matter how it's dressed up.

A gift that allows him to not only get away with musical murder, but to make it seem like a good idea, Newcombe's natural songwriting slope sends him barreling headfirst into places that modesty and lack of pretentiousness prevent others from going. He has no filter, but even the messes that emerge, like the ridiculous, faux-accented 'All Around You (Intro),' feel strangely right. (Syd Barrett, the former Pink Floyd madman whose spirit shoots through the entire Brian Jonestown catalog, suffered the same pleasant malady.) And while the spontaneous outbursts and bizarre ego trips accompanying that lack of a screening process may initially draw the curious into Newcombe's orbit, his out-of-time musical trips have the potential to keep them there.
But by including album cuts from throughout their career, Tepid Peppermint also re-emphasizes just how great -- after all the drama -- the Brian Jonestown Massacre can really be.

Neo-psychedelic outfit Brian Jonestown Massacre has been remarkably prolific, especially considering the never-ending personnel changes the band has endured since its inception in 1990. The quantity of material the band has produced makes them ideal candidates for compilations, and the 2004 two-disc TEPID PEPPERMINT WONDERLAND is still the best place for newcomers to get introduced to the Massacre's grungy, shimmering, '60s-influenced rock.

VOLUME 2 is essentially the second disc (plus a bonus track) of the aforementioned two-disc package, and it collects album tracks, live cuts, and other assorted odds and sods that provide a solid overview of the band's range and spontaneous energy. The 23 tracks faithfully represent the group's aesthetic, serving up a paisley-tinged mix of both the high-minded and the raunchy that draws on the Stones, Jefferson Airplane, My Bloody Valentine, and contemporary acts like Spiritualized.
