Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. The Jesus and Mary Chain started as warring brothers with a port-a-studio and ended up on Top of the Pops while helping kick off the Glasgow music scene of the 1980s. The boys welcome a special guest to help make sense of this band and discuss hypnosis, vintage fuzz pedals, and fighting your audience as a marketing strategy.
