Never understood? Well, read this

Andrew Unterberger of Stylus on The Jesus & Mary Chain's Honey's Dead. It's been a while since I last bought a J&MC record, so I think I'll have to add this to my collection, currently comprising Psychocandy, Darklands, Stoned And Dethroned, Munki and the B-sides 'n' outtakes compilation Barbed Wire Kisses.

One day I might get round to elaborating and substantiating my theory that The Beach Boys lived on in the 70s in the form of The Ramones, and in the 80s in the form of The Jesus & Mary Chain - but in the meantime, just listen to the latter's Psychocandied-up cover of 'Surfin USA' on Barbed Wire Kisses, and feel the noise. It's a beautiful thing.
