“ROCK N ROLL IS DEAD” – JIM REID - JESUS AND MARY CHAIN

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!
