Evacuons d'entrée les informations purement factuelles : derrière Ola Podrida se cache David Wingo, (un peu) connu pour avoir écrit les musiques des films de son ami David Gordon Green ; Andew Kenny, le chanteur du American Analog Set, y tient la basse ; Ola Podrida a déjà eu droit à plusieurs reprises aux honneurs de Said The Gramophone, Gorilla vs. Bear et - évidemment - de Pitchfork. Et son nom commence à circuler de plus en plus sur la blogsphère, son premier album étant sorti cette semaine sur Plug (...)

'Heart It Races' is the first single from the band's new album, Places Like This and it's a calypso-tinged tune that strolls up to you in a charity store college b-ball tee, skinny black jeans, and Chuck Taylors before pulling back your hair and whispering in your ear, 'Hey man, let's get some cider, grab a frisbee and

Awwwww man! COACHELLA! Wasn't that amazing?!?! I mean, when that one band…..so awesome. I almost….you know….all over my pants!!!! MAN! Great times. Hot, crowded, but man….great. G-R-E-A-T. You're right. We didn't go. And if you can't tell, we'll about as bitter as squirrel nuts. Rage? Probably just o.k.

Tickets for the reunited Jesus And Mary Chain gigs at Webster Hall next month went on sale today, and surpisingly (to me anyway...) did not sell out instantly. Maybe the $45 price tag is a bit high, but compared to Hall & Oates at Nokia for $99.50 , the feedback fest sounds like an outright steal. Get them while they last here . I'll be at the Wednesday show, so bring enough to buy me a beer, too. The Jesus & Mary Chain - [...]

To me, coming from you, friend is a four letter word. Cheney's wicked mad at me this week and refuses to talk about it. He doesn't turn in his post and he doesn't return phone calls. Finally last night he called me. " Lost made me a little hot under the collar," he said. "I hate that fucking creep, what's his name. That bastard." "Jack?" I said. "Yes," Cheney said. "And Desmond...puh-leeeease!" "I know," I said. "Totally." He doesn't even hear you. Nothing has really amused [...]

[This is an excerpt from a 1987 Coca Cola Cowboy interview the Jowe Head and Jeff Bloom of Television Personalities] CCC: Do you know any dirty stories about Alan McGee? Jowe: He's always got plenty of dirty stories about everyone else. He's always going... (in terrible Glasgow accent whilst slobbering everywhere)... "Stephen Pastel, he's a homosexual. Yes, I've seen him do it. Sorry about the saliva all over the microphone". That's a dirty story. Actually, that's why Bobby had to leave the Mary Chain....'cos he spat at him when his mouth was open. He's in intensive [...]

First off I want to say that this has been in the works (well in my head) for almost six months, but i've never had the time to just sit down and think about what I wanted to include. I make no secret about my love for film here on the site, as it's almost equal to my love of music. The connection I find between films and music is simple. It's that one scene and that one song that if they're both put to use correctly, than it can set that mood perfectly without there even being any kind [...]
"Upside Down (Demo Version)" (Creation, 1985) The Jesus & Mary Chain's debut "Upside Down" is easily one of the most memorable singles ever released and one of the best (hands up who attempted to fine tune their radio when they first heard it on Peel?). The version here was originally part of a nine song demo tape recorded by Jim and William Reid on a home porta-studio (late '83?). There was a
When I was a teenager, before the advent of iPods, I was quite fond of making mix CDs. It was always just for my own amusement and I would make artwork for it also. But the crux upon what would I would deem a successful compilation was not the tracks chosen, the mood ascertained, or the gratification of the tunes themselves. Instead, subconsciously my aim seemed to be to make my own "THE MOST ECLECTIC MIX IN THE WORLD.... EVER!" series. Tracks from the Beastie Boys and Ugly Duckling would site next to REM's "Everybody Hurts" which [...]
Oh yeah. Mr B. Stamps must have visited Asda and bought the Jesus and Mary Chain "Best Of.." as I did last November because he's only gone and posted an MP3 of theirs. The Jesus And Mary Chain - "Upside Down"

Diplo - "into the sun" Some of Diplo's best work is on his mix tapes, and this song is no different. I always find myself loving this song when the weather turns warm and my thoughts turn to spring and summer. Purchase Florida here Hero's and Villians - "esa 2000" Not sure what happened to this band, but this song was on heavy rotation for me a couple years ago. I recently re-discovered it and [...]

Hello, and welcome to the first annual Roaringmachine twee vs. shoegaze cage , um, tickle , um, PILLOW FIGHT! In the shoegaze corner, weighing six albums and wearing poppy-printed trunks, we have popular favorites the Jesus and Mary Chain, managed by Don 'Alan McGee' King. JAMC won a sweeping victory at North London Polytechnic over, well, the crowd in 1985 and has since been undefeated in any match they can focus on longer than 10 minutes.

Any rock historian could easily stress the importance of The Jesus and Mary Chain. Though the influential band from Scotland did not receive such deserved recognition or sales during their active years, critics and fans have finally been beginning to realize the band's influence on all types of contemporary music. The Jesus and Mary Chain's lack of mainstream success can largely be attributed to their creative sound and innovative presentation, consisting of feedback experimentation, excessive reverb, droning vocals, and live sets that could sometimes consist of twenty minutes of pure noise; though with brothers Jim and William Reid leading the [...]

The Jesus & Mary Chain, one of the greatest names for a group ever, and they knew it but this was not enough in the media obsessed eighties and so the band went out of their way to create the kind of headlines that Oasis would be proud of. The band came to surface at the tail end of 1984, I was to read of their exploits weeks after they took place thanks to the good old NME, as at the time I was living in Italy. It was with both a degree of surprise and pleasure that I consumed [...]
