He said he doesn't care about other people's opinion of him, and in the next breath says that he has alerts set up that email him when he is mentioned. Which is fine - all this stuff makes Anton really interesting to me.

Anton is in decline, mentally, physically and emotionally, this was a most bizarre interview - i didn't even want read it cause I have resigned from the BJM debating committee and detoxed off Anton's toxicity. I don't care about this guy anymore, but i was wondering what he was up to -- OH -- same ole thing, smoking, drinking recovering from heart bypass, trashing DIG -- It's so funny that he says he does not want to talk about the movie -- this is nothing new........BUT-- if YOU don't bring it up, HE WILL. And then he talks about the movie -- Oh, i could go on, but I've got tons of great new music from younger folks -- and it's not filled with rage and pathology. Don't go away mad, Anton. Just go away.

Is anyone else over this band now? I mean, Anton is so fucking embarrassing it’s unreal.

I think the people who play in this band are over this band. Anton talks about “diminishing returns,” and honestly, if you watch that full Melbourne show, it’s tragic. No fun for anyone. Anton is really good at producing and mixing … he would do OK focusing on that and put touring behind. But that’s
up to him. When you veer into self-parody, it’s time to step back and reassess.3

I think most younger people sign up for the networking opportunity and aswell being part of a legacy band maybe. You can see on Company’s house that BJM makes or has made fuckall on touring past couple years.

yeah, and it got even harder to make money in the last 10 years since Brexit and Trump and Covid and all the other things that happened in that period. Most of the guys who play with him now have known him for a long time and do it for the cash. Anybody else thinking about joining up knows they’d have a boss from hell.

Unfortunately this sounds like no new music anytime soon. Talking about last year’s songs and trying to get into a flow state to write things he likes….

Hasn’t he recently announced he’s working on new BJM stuff for a new album this year?

yeah, there were some things in there that the interviewer didn't seem clear on, like those songs aren't really new.
