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.'
― Broney, Pt. 1 (Pillbox), Tuesday, 11 September 2012 17:35 (eleven years ago) link
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
