Are you ready to O.D. on Jesus and Mary Chain? The group’s latest single, “jamcod,” which will appear on their upcoming Glasgow Eyes LP, finds frontman Jim Reid singing, “Tears are what you want, tears are what you got,” before the band’s trademark noise, led by Jim’s brother William’s guitar, kicks in and he builds to the titular chant: “J.A.M.C.O.D.” The group will achieve full overdose potential when Glasgow Eyes comes out on March 8.

Scottish alternative rock duo The Jesus and Mary Chain have announced their new album, Glasgow Eyes, set for release on March 8th via Fuzz Club. The LP will commemorate the 40th anniversary of the outfit, comprised of brothers Jim and William Reid. The announcement arrives alongside news of The Jesus and Mary Chain’s upcoming 2024 EU/UK headliner tour — as well as the release of their first Glasgow Eyes single, “jamcod,” which you can stream below.
Jim Reid said in a press release that Glasgow Eyes is a Jesus and Mary Chain album, through and through. “Our creative approach is remarkably the same as it was in 1984, just hit the studio and see what happens,” he said. “There’s a telepathy there — we are those weird not-quite twins that finish each other’s sentences. Of course, as one could expect from the highly experimental duo, there will still be plenty...

The Jesus and Mary Chain have announced a clutch of live shows. The band play their first North American gigs since 2008 this March with three confirmed dates and a fourth show at the SXSW festival. The lineup features founding members William and Jim Reid and late-era bassist Phil King. Also rejoining the band is ex-Black Box Recorder star John Moore. A drummer is yet to be confirmed. Moore occasionally played drums with the Mary Chain's Psychocandy lineup before permanently replacing Bobby Gillespie when he left to front Primal Scream. He then moved to rhythm guitar in 1986, before leaving the band in 1988. "So, back in the Jamc after a quarter of (more)...

Despite the absence of several notable characters, this documentary gives an interesting glimpse into the history of Creation Records
There's one great stroke of genius to Upside Down, Danny O'Connor's chronicle of the birth, glory years and demise of mouthy mogul Alan McGee's iconic record label. It's the lack of a voiceover: O'Connor eschews traditional narration in favour of nuggets of rock'n'roll wisdom, spoken by ageing Irish DJ, music guru and McGee's Death Disco co-conspirator Bp Fallon ("purple-browed beep" in T Rex's Telegram Sam). Fallon is shot in monochrome and beamed onto a grainy 50s TV set – a move that ensures the film stays in tune with the vibe of the bands Creation championed: amongst others Primal Scream, My Bloody Valentine, The Pastels, The Jazz Butcher, Felt, Ride, Super Furry Animals, and most lucratively, Oasis.
The main players tell the story themselves in interviews spliced with archive footage...

#2 – “Lost In Translation” (2003)
Directed by Sofia Coppola
Sofia Coppola’s second feature, following her sublime 1999 debut feature “The Virgin Suicides”, explores the themes of displacement, dislocation and humanity’s basic need for connection and whilst it uses the alien backdrop of Tokyo to heighten the sense of loneliness the core emotion is one which many of us have surely felt at some point in our lives. That an individual can stand in a crowded room (or in this case a densely populated city) yet still feel entirely alone speaks volumes about mankind’s intrinsic desire to simply connect and how it’s not so much about where we are as who we’re with.
Bob Harris (Bill Murray) is a man in that very predicament, an ageing movie star who is currently in Tokyo to film an advertisement for Suntory whiskey.
