The Manhattan Love Suicides - Up Too High
Famed for their feedback drenched live shows The Manhattan Love Suicides have taken the rarest Mary Chain song (which appears on The Power of Negative Thinking boxset) - a song that in it’s original form was a few steps away from the Psychocandy sound that propelled The Jesus and Mary Chain into the mainstream. The Manhattan Love Suicides version of ‘Up Too High’ kind of gives the song an adrenlin fuelled injection of noise and menance. This one is a keeper.

Duffloop - God Help Me
The second cover song submitted by Duffloop - this one is ‘God Help Me’ - taking the song from Stoned and Dethroned and giving it gorgeous warm feel. Nice.

The Sunday Reeds - Sidewalking
I’ve been snowed under with Lostmusic stuff the past few months - so sadly let this slip a little. But what a way to come back. The Sunday Reeds are a duo from Australia. Recently signed to the UK’s Squirrel Records - they submitted a cracking cover of ‘Sidewalking’ back in November 2008. They said “Sidewalking was the first Jesus and Mary Chain song that we heard. I think it was about the year 2001. Saw the clip for it on a late night music programme and was immediately hooked.”

Samideani - Sometimes Always
Samideani are a band from Italy. They also feature Some Candy Talking poster - ItalianCandy. They’ve done a great lo-fi cover of Sometimes Always - but a little word of warning watch out for the guitar midway through - I nearly jumped out of my skin. They also sent a great fan photograph in:

The Silver Surfer - Happy Place
The Silver Surfer covered this song a fair while back. I remember reading about over on Some Candy Talking (maybe 5 or 6 years ago). But I’d completely forgotten about it until they got in contact offering the song to the Covers Project. They’ve done a bright and bouncy cover of Happy Place which can’t help but make you and smile.

Ian and Nick - You Trip Me Up
Some people like to take the noisy approach when covering the Jesus and Mary Chain. Others like to approach the songs from the melody angle and that’s the where Ian and Nick have come from. Ian is part of The Foster Kids and Nick is fan of The Beach Boys. And you can hear it. This is one of most sumptious re-workings we have had so far. Enjoy!

I’m looking for pics of you from way back when in a Mary Chain T Shirt. Or your Mary Chain collection. Or your bedroom walls adorned with Mary Chain pics. Anything fan related about the Mary Chain. Not really interested in live pics of the band. Old paper clippings are good though.
I want this stuff to bolster the website with images and make it feel more fanlike. I have some more stuff to add. But I guess the more, the better. Please email me on jamc@lostmusic.co.uk in the first instance!

Hot Booth - Moe Tucker
Hot Booth is Daniel from Pocketbooks. He’s recorded a lovely lo-fi fuzzy pop version of ‘Moe Tucker’. I think it’s rather fab version. I hope you do too. And if you like his take on ‘Moe Tucker’ be sure to check his My Space page where he does a rather splendid cover of ‘Swallow My Pride’ - a cover of the Ramones song.

Jay Moore - Write Record Release Blues
Jay is a long time visitor to the SCT forum and when he saw the covers blog he decided to have go at “Write Record Release Blues” - I think his stripped down bluesy take on the song is just perfect. I hope you enjoy it.
I’m away for the next week or so - so the cover versions will resume in just over a week.
