"My Little Underground" comes from a Jesus & Mary Chain song. It seemed fitting.
And here's an interesting story about Jesus & Mary Chain looking back at their heyday in the 80's [article on pennyblackmusic.co.uk]. It's not too often that you hear a musician say something like this in public:
"Again, when you look back it seems so obvious and you can see all your mistakes. That was a mistake to make 'Darklands' so self-consciously try to get away from the other record. The best records in the world are records that people just make. You make them the way you feel it. When you start thinking that it shouldn't sound like that it's wrong..."
"(On Automatic) we were trying to make a record that would be a big hit in America. Again, probably too self-consciously. We should have made the record the way we wanted them to sound."
Words of wisdom there.
