THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN Have Their New Live Album ‘SUNSET 666’ Out

Posted on by JL

5 August 2023

Scottish psych pop heroes THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN
have their new live LP, titled SUNSET 666 out.

It was recorded at the Hollywood Palladium in 2018, whilst
the Reid bros were touring North America with Nine Inch Nails.

It’s a discography-spanning set that includes tracks from ‘Psychocandy’, ‘Darklands’, ‘Automatic’, ‘Honey’s Dead’, ‘Stoned and Dethroned’, ‘Munki’ and ‘Damage and Joy’.

This record reminds me of how great/special the brothers Reid were. They were
particularly smart in writing catchy pop tunes and drench them in a bad of infectious psychedelia. I’m not a big fan of live albums, but the quality here is quite appealing and has that raw-cutting TJAMC edge. And it made me play some of their studio LPs again. Mission accomplished.

Just Like Honey – Happy 60 To JIM REID!

Posted on by JL

Top singles from the past…

29 December 2021


(Jim: right / William: left)

James McLeish Reid was born 60 years ago today,
on 29 December 1961 in East Kilbridge, Scotland. To
celebrate the birthday of the youngest Reid (his brother
William is 63) I picked a classic from his favorite band
The Jesus And Mary Chain.

“I’ll be your plastic toy
I’ll be your plastic toy
For you
Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do
Just like honey…”
