Somebody talk to me right now and at length about how insanely great Honey's Dead is, and why, with particular reference to "Sundown," "Reverence," "Tumbledown," and "Frequency." Thanking you in advance, I remain.

I finally found an mp3 of the version of "Some Candy Talking" from the NME 7" freebie - and I am finally happy.

The Hardest Walk (Some Kind of Wonderful OST vers.)

Please describe what the difference is between this and the "Psychocandy" version, someone!

my sister's boyfriend's band supported jim reid last week. i was well impressed! they couldn't have cared less.

Is Jim Reid gonna pay them back?

I believe it has a longer introduction, like a fade-in or something.

Where's the bastard rarities box set?

― Colonel Poo (Colonel Poo), Friday, 22 September 2006 11:04 (nineteen years ago)

I can't imagine that.

Yeah, where?

It's a completely different recording produced by Stephen Hague. Less abrasive than the album version, the sound is similar to "Some Candy Talking".

That whole soundtrack is amazing, btw.

four months pass...

So they've reunited and are playing Coachella.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 January 2007 21:16 (nineteen years ago)

Not to take anything away, but a JAMC reunion just basically means the Reids have decided to play nice with each other for a day and perform old songs. It's not the biggest deal is all I'm sayin'.

― Johnny Fever (johnny fever), Monday, 22 January 2007 21:42 (nineteen years ago)

Thus my kinda underwhelmed reaction.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 January 2007 21:44 (nineteen years ago)

It's hard to say whether their music is more the kind where it'll be reasy easy to get up and start playing again, or the kind where they'll inevitably seem a bit old and trying-too-hard when they do. (They sounded like they were straining a bit by the fourth LP, actually, but on the other hand if they just remember to act as bored as possible, it'd totally work.)

― nabisco (nabisco), Monday, 22 January 2007 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

I haven't said this in so long, but it's just like riding a bike:

hey Spencer where did you go to high school...? do you know Robert Lobo?

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 22 January 2007 23:44 (nineteen years ago)

At least they'll be playing at night (unlike the hilarious daytime set at Lollapalooza)

― Elvis Telecom (Chris Barrus), Monday, 22 January 2007 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

oh yeah also not personally super-excited about a reunion - maybe if they were geriatric it'd be amusing but the one set I saw of theirs (w/ Spiritualized opening at the Fillmore in the mid-90s) was so bad I have no real wish to see them again...

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Monday, 22 January 2007 23:46 (nineteen years ago)

I do know Robert!

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 22 January 2007 23:59 (nineteen years ago)

weird - we were college roommates, I'm still in touch with him (Joe Harrington too). Not entirely unrelatedly, he was the first other person I met who owned a copy of "Darklands".

― Shakey Mo Collier (Shakey Mo Collier), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 00:02 (nineteen years ago)

So where is that "rarities" box set then?

― mark grout (mark grout), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 00:32 (nineteen years ago)

I LOVE "I hate rock and roll" so i'm sure even i'll be pleased.

[ hi spencer! (\:-[0> ]

― Steve Shasta (Steve Shasta), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 00:34 (nineteen years ago)

I really hope the Coachella show turns into a full-blown reunion tour -- and a handful of Texas shows.

― Stephen Bush (Stephen B.), Tuesday, 23 January 2007 04:37 (nineteen years ago)

Their reunion is basically the only thing I'm relatively interested in concerning Coachella. Mostly because I've never seen them as I was too young.

Stephen OTM regarding Texas shows.

lol that's worse

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:46 (nineteen years ago)

How about some dates that are NOT at Festivals?

You know, for those of us that wanna see the Mary Chain, but don't want to pay overinflated ticket prices to wade through a bunch of other crap?

Or do non-Festival gigs just not pay enough to provide the beer habit necessary to make them get on with each other.

― Masonic Boom, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:53 (nineteen years ago)

I DONT WANNA SEE THEM IN THE DAYTIME!

― Mark G, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 11:54 (nineteen years ago)

Maybe there will be a secret warm up gig at the 100 Club.

I haven't got any inside information, I'm just saying, like.

― PJ Miller, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:26 (nineteen years ago)

There's a big gap before the Connect Festival where I'd expect them to schedule some UK gigs.

That said, I think there's every chance they'll be twatting each other with guitars before they reach Spain and it won't matter.

― onimo, Tuesday, 3 April 2007 13:42 (nineteen years ago)

SECRET GIG AT SONIC CATHEDRALS, PLS!!!!

The infamous 'riot' at North London Poly, with Bobby G. looking very youthful.

― stevo-r, Saturday, 7 April 2007 12:37 (nineteen years ago)

― Curt1s Stephens, Saturday, 7 April 2007 14:59 (nineteen years ago)

two weeks pass...

so i havent really gotten a good idea...should i go see them live in NYC or are they going to be old lamers?

― buyabiznatch, Saturday, 21 April 2007 16:11 (nineteen years ago)

They'll be at the Glasshouse next thursday. I'd much rather see them there than in Indio.

― van smack, Saturday, 21 April 2007 16:15 (nineteen years ago)

They're one of my 4 or 5 favorite bands, and yet I have virtually no interest in seeing them live...

― Spencer Chow, Saturday, 21 April 2007 22:45 (nineteen years ago)
