3 February 2021

Artists: ROBERT FRIPP (best know as member
of legendary prog rockers King Crimson) and his
equally famous British wife TOYAH WILLCOX
(8 top 40 hits and over more than 20 LPs).

Track: I LOVE ROCK ‘N’ ROLL
Joan Jett’s 1981 blockbuster hit.

It’s Fripp/Willcox‘s next pick in a series of covers
of classic songs they play from their home and they
definitely love it. Have fun too!

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN Released Sixth Album ‘MUNKI’ 20 Years Ago…

Posted on by JL

Going back in sonic history looking for memorable albums…

1 June 2018

Band: THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

Album: MUNKI

Released: 2 June 1998 – 20 years ago

ALL MUSIC wrote: “As befits an album bookended by tracks titled “I Love Rock’n’Roll” and “I Hate Rock’n’Roll,” the Jesus and Mary Chain’s Sub Pop label debut, Munki, is schizophrenic and impassioned, a record that both summarizes the band’s career to date and cleans the slate for their future. Virtually each of the 17 tracks here echoes a prior moment in the Chain’s existence, moving at breakneck pace from the volcanic noise of their earliest material to the bleak grace of Darklands, through to the sleek, supercharged pop of Automatic.”

TURN UP THE VOLUME says: Munki sounds like a career-spanning jukebox. An avalanche
of barbed wire pop crackers.
