"""I shot the perfect bootleg video of Joel with the BJM once: he's menacing but perfectly in the pocket with his tambourine and I just couldn't turn away. Damnit, now he's got me glued to these pages in a similar way...I think my brother knows how to feel."" ―Kurt Vile ""Tales told through the prism of San Franciscian subterranean psychescenster Joel Gion. Casted into the fray via the vanguard of an embryonic yet already near mythical BJM brethren, bubbling up from faded Victorian grandeur bedsit land streets, as a new youth guitar scene thus unravels into existence. Surely genuine psychedelia's last stand."" ―Sam Knee ""A new postmodern Beat sensation. Gion steers us through the hedonism and headaches of the BJM's alternative America with spontaneous-prose sincerity, ecstatic warmth and a Brautiganesque eye for the absurd. Love it."" ―Richard Milward ""Candid, insightful, and by turns both hilarious and regretful... Engaging, unique and endlessly quotable, In the Jingle Jangle Jungle is a must-read for fans of turn-of-the-millennium psychedelic rock 'n' roll."" ―Shindig! ""peppered with breezy humour...it expos[es] the uglier side to life in a struggling rock band."" --The Telegraph ""In the Jingle Jangle Jungle moves with the same effortless, swaggering storytelling verve that will be so familiar to fans of the cosmic counter-culture of west coast America."" --The Bookseller"
