They are one of the two featured bands in the documentary ''Film/{{Dig}}!'', which examines the band's love/hate relationship with Music/TheBrianJonestownMassacre.

* DissTrack: "Not If You Were the Last Junkie on Earth" is generally regarded as a passive-aggressive slam at Anton Newcombe, who was addicted to heroin. Taylor-Taylor is recorded playing the track for Newcombe himself in ''Dig!'' and states in the narration that he was disappointed by Newcombe's complete lack of reaction. Newcombe would later record an AnswerSong, "Not If You Were the Last Dandy on Earth."

Added DiffLines:

* VocalEvolution: Courtney started out with an average tenor-esque voice on songs like "Not If You Were The Last Junkie on Earth", then years of smoking and drinking took their toll and deepened his voice to a baritone for songs like "Bohemian Like You", but he could still hit the falsetto high notes for "You Were the Last High" and "Plan A", until he lost his voice, and never got the high range back. He still sounds fine singing low baritone, but singing near the top of his chest voice sounds gravelly and forced. For songs in falsetto, either he sings them an octave (or several) lower, or gets Brent to sing the high notes.

** Some would say the ''Come Down'' version of "Minnesoter" is an improvement over the original demo version, especially with the lyrics "I saw my baby dance a Latin number with her shirt off... but in a mood, she'd rather if I jerked off". The original had the next line go "When she moves, I really wanna jerk off" and the singer sounded like a DirtyOldMan, but in the new version, he sounds more cartoony and like he's trying to emulate NeilYoung.
