There are artists and there are artist’s artists, those who are always one step ahead and showing the rest how it’s done. The Brian Jonestown Massacre are in the latter category. Infamous before they were famous, the BJM have long gone unrecognized as what they really are…one of the best bands of the last 20 years. “Nevertheless” is an example of the BJM at their finest. Equally catchy and expansive, this one never gets old.

You can find it on the 2001 album “Bravery, Repetition, and Noise“, which also features an excellent cover of The Cryan’ Shames song, “The Sailing Ship”.

As a bonus, this fan generated video features footage of a canoodling Jane Birkin and Brigitte Bardot, from the 1973 film Don Juan (or If Don Juan Were A Woman). How can you go wrong?
