Teenage Kicks: Now with Feedback!

This weekend on Teenage Kicks, we're totally fuzzed out over the Jesus and Mary Chain.

What makes the Jesus and Mary Chain so cool?

A. Distortion
B. Bedhead
C. Leather pants
D. All of the above

If you answered D, you're correct!

They're so cool, the Magentic Fields made an album inspired by them. They're also apparently so cool, we can't embed a video of them, so you'll just have to check them out here.

Since they're our featured artist, we'll be playing a handful of songs by them on Teenage Kicks. We don't encourage the consumption of alcoholic beverages before noon, but the Jesus and Mary Chain aren't exactly known for good behavior. That said, here's a little Jesus and Mary Chain Drinking Game you can play while listening. Take a swig of OJ, or a bite of pancake, every time you hear a reference to one of the following:

- Candy
- Honey
- Cherry
- Pain or trauma to the head

I'll be playing along from home. Jim McGuinn is filling in for me this weekend so that I can take a much-needed, post-member-drive "mental health" day. 'Cause, you know, nothing encourages good mental health like listening to a bunch of Jesus and Mary Chain songs.

Tune in to Teenage Kicks Saturday mornings from 8 to 10. And tell us why you love JAMC below!

You forgot the 'H" with a touch of "Hope." And of course, the brotherly love.
