you know, I always thought it was weird (& pretty lame tbh, tho the shows were usually amazing regardless) that I saw them prob eight or nine times b/w 1992-98 & they never once played a single goddam track from Psychocandy - the only thing from that era that made their setlists was 'Some Candy Talking.'

otoh I bet they played the shit out of "Reverence"

this show was great by the way, was surprised that not everyone there was 40+, is this because of "lost in translation" or.....?
― Guayaquil (eephus!), Wednesday, 4 September 2013 05:08 (ten years ago) link
They seem to be one of the 80s bands that have trickled down to millenials in a reverent way as opposed to an omglol80s way.

Well, I uploaded a nice pic, and voted for "Suck" (b-side of "Never Understand"), would appreciate if you did the same.
― Mark G, Monday, 14 October 2013 13:31 (ten years ago) link
Of course, I shall be most agrieved if they use my pic and I have to pay £130 to get the crummy poster!

Picked up a bundle of the deluxe expanded editions. Listening to an interview conducted by a disinterested Tommy Vance who sounds incredibly like Alan Partridge.
― michaellambert, Thursday, 15 January 2015 20:23 (nine years ago) link
Janice Long used to get fairly decent interviews out of them.
I mentioned uploading a pic for the poster in the box set, never heard owt from them so I assume it wasn't used

the story in psychocandy about young douglas hart is hilarious. "Hey Jim, that wee toddler's looking for you"

This has been noted in other threads: if you're a JAMC fan, you'll probably like this.

This kind of looks like the 120 Minutes set, but I don't remember this happening during a JAMC interview...

really, wow! i recently signed up to their artist poll, so a new album before that poll is great news.
― Bee OK, Thursday, 17 November 2016 02:00 (seven years ago) link
I'm hopeful for it. saw them a while back where they were doing a little greatest hits bit then all of psychocandy and it was actually a bonafide great show which i generally don't expect from not particularly active baby boomer bands.

Song is also bad. Drums are really terrible. Lyrics, chords etc all sound like a JAMC-bot created them. If someone said it was Primal Scream I'd have laughed at it. Mind you there's a certain kind of Jesus and Mary Chain badness which the fans seem to want so what do I know?
― everything, Thursday, 8 December 2016 21:48 (seven years ago) link
a bit like a parody of a jamc song that you could imagine in a 90s channel 4 comedy show

So... Damage and Joy. It's not bad but kinda unnecessary imo, but anyway - they're back.
oh, and "The Jesus and Mary Chain Announce North American Tour"
Next (this) month, the Jesus and Mary Chain will release Damage and Joy, their first album in 18 years. In addition to their upcoming European dates behind the record, the band have now announced a North American spring tour. This May, they will perform in Brooklyn, Chicago, Toronto, and more. Find their upcoming shows below.
Damage and Joy is out March 24 via ADA/Warner Music. It follows the band’s 1998 LP Munki. The new album was recorded with producer Youth. It features contributions from the band’s touring drummer Brian Young, ex-Lush bassist Phil King, and Youth on bass. They’ve so far put out “Always Sad” and “Amputation” from the album.
