JESUS & MARY CHAIN working on album, MY BLOODY VALENTINE plans to "do a RADIOHEAD", Tour Dates

Jesus & Mary Chain “are now whittling down dozens of new songs to 12 or so for the new album.” [Billboard]

It was 20 years ago the other day that “Jim Reid was arrested in Canada after assaulting the audience with his microphone stand.”

My Bloody Valentine‘s manager says they’ll release their new album themselves on the Internet, but unlike Radiohead, they’ll probably set a price. He also “denied reports that MBV is planning to appear at the Coachella Music & Arts Festival in Indio, California, in late April.” [Billboard]
