DiscogsDienstag: The Jesus & Mary Chain – Stoned & Dethroned
Über die schottische Band The Jesus & Mary Chain muss ich eigentlich nicht viel schreiben, sie gehören zu den Pionieren des Shoegaze, besonders mit ihren ersten beiden Alben „Psychocandy“ (1985) und „Darklands“ (1987) und im Grunde bekommt man von den Reid-Brüdern Jim und William immer, was man erwartet: Post-Punk, Noise Pop und Shoegaze mit einer Prise Rock’n’Roll, Surf-Rock und Blues. So auch auf ihrem 1994er Album „Stoned & Dethroned“, ihrem fünften Longplayer.
Das Highlight des Albums ist für mich „Sometimes Always“ mit Gastsängerin Hope Sandoval (Mazzy Star), die zu der Zeit mit William Reid zusammen war und das Lied mit Jim Reid im Duett singt, ganz in der Tradition von Lee Hazlewood und Nancy Sinatra. Ein weiterer Gastsänger war Shane MacGowan (The Pogues), der „God Help Me“ gesungen hat. Insgesamt finden sich 17 Songs auf dem Album, das eigentlich als Akustik-Album geplant war, was an einigen Stellen noch hörbar ist („Everybody I Know“). Es sind viele ruhigere Songs dabei, aber auch klassische, flotte JAMC-Stücke („She“, „Girlfriend“). Die Besetzung bestand aus Jim Reid (Gesang, Gitarren, Bass), William Reid (Gesang, Gitarren, Bass), Steve Monti von Curve (Schlagzeug) und Ben Lurie (Gitarre, Harmonika, Orgel, Bass).
Wie so häufig bei familiären Bandprojekten haben sich auch die Reid-Brüder irgendwann zerstritten, so dass es von 1998 bis 2007 Funkstille zwischen ihnen gab. Danach traten sie jedoch wieder gemeinsam auf und veröffentlichten noch die Alben sieben und acht, „Damage and Joy“ (2017) und „Glasgow Eyes“ (2024).
Ich habe The Jesus & Mary Chain am 02.07.1988 beim Roskilde Festival live gesehen.

Joe Strummer & The Pogues performing 'London Calling' live at the Town & Country Club, London, March 17, 1988
Show infos
The performance is somewhat legendary, it featured not only guest vocalist, the late Kirsty Maccoll, but also The Clash’s Joe Strummer follows on to perform a brilliant cover of ‘London Calling’. Then, if that wasn’t enough it had the brilliant Lynval Golding of The Specials arrive to perform a special Irish-tainted version of ‘A Message To You#punk #punks #punkrock #StPatricksDay #ShaneMacGowan #history #punkrockhistory #otd

Love this cover of "A Rainy Night in Soho". That line "you're the measure of my dreams" puts a lump in my throat & breaks my heart 💔 🇮🇪 🍀 Can't wait to hear the other covers!
“His soul was filled with the transgressive and ecstatic properties of the saints,” said Springsteen. “I don’t know who’ll be listening to my music in 100 years, but I know they’ll be listening to Shane’s.”

The Pogues - Rum, Sodomy & the Lash
One of my regrets is never having seen The Pogues play live. There is enormous energy from their recorded work: live must have been something else.
Oh, and this must be one of the best album titles of all time. -

I love Fairytale of New York, but always felt a bit uncomfortable with the homophobic slur. Very grateful to Grace Petrie for providing a version with an alternative line: https://youtu.be/cBwqjwB6Skk?si=rcPO0LyxSgxiglQI
(also the pandemic-era video is very nostalgic in all the right ways)
