Welcome to Indie Anorak - my musings on indie pop and rock. It's aimed at people like me, who spend far too much time in the pub wittering on about their favourite Smiths b-sides and best '60s singles.

Reid all about it



Jim Reid, one half of legendary fuzz-rock duo The Jesus and Mary Chain, is a very busy man.
His new solo single, Dead End Kids, is imminent, whilst his other side project, Freeheat, have just released their debut album, Back On The Water.
The single will also feature Dead End Kids (Demo Version) along with a cover of Bob Dylan's If You've Gotta Go, which has been getting rave reviews from his recent live gigs.
If you're quick about it, you can also get an exclusive recording of Jim covering The Beatles' And Your Bird Can Sing by grabbing the July issue of Mojo, which features an excellent CD of various artists recreating Revolver for the 40th anniversary of its release. It's well worth a listen - Jim turns the song into a spooked-out, stripped-down, twangy country ballad. Awesome.
