From The Jesus and Mary Chain Tribute: The Tamborines, 93 Million Miles From The Sun, Static Daydream, A Marc Train Home

More cause for celebration reerupts with Psychocandy Revisited, the The Jesus and Mary Chain tribute just issued by São Paulo's The Blog That Celebrates Itself. We're posting our favorites below in separate widgies, but all 16 covers can be found in each one. Not to get too anatomicophiloshical about it, but is the bandname's "chain" the holy umbilical cord? That's what we always pictured, and it's probably obvious, but maybe you have an insight?

Static Daydream's cover of "Wear This Dress" is one of our favesongs of the year. It's in the TBTCI Skywave tribute here.

Are we disappointed our two favorite songs by "The. . .Chain" were omitted from the comp? 

Not necessarily.

Ridin' A MARC Train Home & Elsewhere, Including The Telyscopes & Lenclair

Obviously we don't know Jack (or jack, as you've no doubt noticed), but we think he's on the left in the first two pics and in the middle in the third.

We climbed aboard at The Blog That Celebrates Itself and had a fun couple hours' ride, following various group members to various side projects and such. We found lots of satisfying free and downloadables and also ended up buying some quite tasty pop. The various band members hail from the D.C./Alexandria, Virginia vicinity. We especially want to give props to "the Train's" bassist, Jack Hubble (or Hubbell - we saw it both ways and maybe it's two different homonymic humans, though we kind of doubt it), who has some wicked good powerpop and psychpop in his several solo projects. (We dropped his  "Kaleidoscope" into the Songdrop widget, in case you want to take a listen.) Anyway, here we go.








We like this better than the original. (No offense, Milkers.)
