Uppáhaldslögin heitir nýr fastur liður á Rjómanum, þar sem tónlistarmenn héðan og þaðan fá að kynna sína helstu áhrifavalda fyrir lesendum.

Ég ætti að vera búinn að fá leið á þessum lögum fyrir löngu, en þau hafa öll [...]

Listen to the girl as she takes on half the world and listen to the 84th most acclaimed album of all time. A 1985 alt-rock staple is next in our ongoing series. Mendelsohn: So... Jesus and Mary Chain's Psychocandy is just an update on the Velvet Underground model just with more noise and less Nico? Is that about right? That's all I'm getting from this record. I mean, on the plus side, there's no Nico. But leading up the cons is the fact that neither Jim nor William Reid, brothers and principal songwriters, are anywhere close to Lou Reed. [...]

Nach nur fünf Jahren wird das Werk der Gebrüder Reid erneut neu aufgelegt. Die Reissue darf man sich getrost schenken, wir empfehlen stattdessen ein ausgiebiges Rumlümmeln im Shoegaze der Band.

Die Band um die Brüder Jim und William Reid, [...]
