As fraternal band combos go, the Reid brothers are up there with the Gibbs, Gallaghers and Greenwoods: their group the Jesus and Mary Chain have been going on and off for 40 years, still riding a wave of gorgeous fuzz.

It’s just another day on the mean streets of Judea circa 33 A.D., where people hang out on sunbaked corners talking smack, working-class stiffs scramble to get by, and Roman centurions — the L.A.P.D. of their day — stop and frisk anyone who they feel matches the description of a suspect. (As in: anyone that does not look like a white Roman centurion.) If you’re lucky, you might get to see a chariot street race already in progress, like the one between Clarence (LaKeith Stanfield) and Mary Magdalene (Teyana Taylor). He…

Martin Scorsese is to follow up his triumphant true-crime epic Killers of the Flower Moon with an 80-minute film about Jesus designed to “take away the negative … associated with organised religion”.In an interview with the Los Angeles Times, Scorsese explained the thinking behind the project, an adaptation of A Life of Jesus by writer Shūsaku Endō (a Japanese Catholic whose 1966 novel Silence was previously adapted by Scorsese).

If Exodus' words are to be believed and Jesus Christ really was a mutant with deaf-defying powers, he shares his abilities with several other powerful characters in the Marvel Universe. Over the decades, readers have seen a number of heroes — not including those involved in the X-Men's resurrection protocols — resurrect others with their incredible powers. For example, Franklin Richards once teamed up with his sister Valeria to bring Galactus back from the dead in "Fantastic Four" #49 (by Carlos Pacheco,…

Daddy Yankee, the Puerto Rican star who helped make reggaeton a global phenomenon, has said he will focus on his Christian faith following his previously announced retirement from music.The 46-year-old vocalist, real name Ramón Rodríguez, told the crowd of his plans at his final concert, held at Puerto Rico’s José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum. “I am not ashamed to tell the whole world that Jesus lives in me and that I will live for him,” he said in Spanish, in remarks translated by Variety. “For many years I’ve tried filling a…

Donald Trump was in Iowa on Saturday for two campaign stops, the first in Ankeny, followed by a stop in Cedar Rapids. And his obsession with the 2020 election continues to be a subject he seems to think is crucial as he campaigns to win the Republican presidential nomination, despite his position being unsubstantiated time and again. His fixation appeared to be a strategy to sow doubt should the 2024 election not go his way. During his “Commit to Caucus” speech in Ankeny, he went over similar tropes he’s been…

Sabrina Carpenter believes that if Jesus Christ came back right now, he’d be a “Feather” stan, too. Carpenter accidentally found herself at odds with the Catholic Church after the Diocese of Brooklyn claimed it was “appalled” with the “violent and sexually provocative” music video shot inside the Blessed Virgin Mary Catholic Church in New York — so much so, that it demoted the priest who let it happen. The video, which dropped on Halloween, sees Carpenter dancing in a super sexy black lace dress and veil on…

Are you ready to O.D. on Jesus and Mary Chain? The group’s latest single, “jamcod,” which will appear on their upcoming Glasgow Eyes LP, finds frontman Jim Reid singing, “Tears are what you want, tears are what you got,” before the band’s trademark noise, led by Jim’s brother William’s guitar, kicks in and he builds to the titular chant: “J.A.M.C.O.D.” The group will achieve full overdose potential when Glasgow Eyes comes out on March 8. The band recorded the album, which contains typically iconoclastic-looking…
