Jim Reid The Jesus and Mary Chain talks new album Glasgow Eyes JAMCOD and Australian Tour

On todays Mixtape I'm chatting to
Jim Reid from ⁠The Jesus and Mary Chain ahead of their upcoming Australian Tour and show at The ⁠Astor Theatre Perth⁠ Jim chats candidly about the infamous on stage break up of the band back in the 90's, why he thinks Rock n Roll is dead/dying, the evolution of the music industry, why cheap record players are a waste of time, and of course he picks the tracks for his Mixtape!
