  One of the greatest, most straightforward, warts-and-all documentaries ever made about the rock life, "DiG!" digs into the uneasy alliance of two bands — the Dandy Warhols and the Brian Jonestown Massacre — and the love-hate relationship between the Dandys' Courtney Taylor and the BJM's Anton Newcombe, observed over a period of seven years. Taylor and Newcombe are respectively the leaders and creative directors of their respective groups; they were fast friends, each expressing unabashed admiration for the other's music. But their different career trajectories — the do-it-yourself indie-rock route for the BJM and a major-label deal for the Dandys — and changing fortunes created tension, discomfort and jealousy. Despite their most fervent wishes, all parties learn that it's no easy task to revolutionize rock music and have fun while doing it. Filmmaker Ondi Timoner had the documentarian's equivalent of one of those all-access concert passes and the patience to chronicle the years. The resulting footage includes lots of music from both bands at recording sessions and live shows, inter- and intra-band squabbles, off-stage tour escapades, brushes with the law, music-business machinations and talking-head reflections by most of the involved parties. Extras on the two-disc DVD set include two hours of previously unreleased footage, three complete music videos by the Dandys, and three extra live performances by the BJM.
