The Jesus & Mary Chain - Sometimes Always (Letterman)

[marmas58ink]

I think I remember seeing this - (yes DL can be a prick... I stopped regularly watching him around when he moved to cbs... his show had a 'hip' new flavor early on, back in my college days)

Here TJaMC succeed in making a pretty good song - correct me if I'm wrong - over top just two chords.

[promiseofanewday]

Love this song. And love this band. Takes me back.

[i4zetec]

@MrBeefaroo YES...you DO have great taste in music...however, you did not list a group who is right up there...INTERPOL

[Ae15BXYS]

What the hell were those two talking about at the beginning of the clip? Undeniable proof that David Letterman was always and will always be a snide little asswipe. Pervert needs to fuck himself off.

[xtofa]

this is nice.

but you need to stop getting all 'music nowadays just isn't as' SHUT UP YOU'RE OLD! the parts of your brain that are tuned into discovering new amazing shit have sealed up. there's shiploads of incredible shit getting made right now but you're just too old (or your brain has zipped up prematurely) to realize.

[IntoDust24]

My GAWD...letterman and paul still had hair

[wendylynae777]

holy f*ing SH*T!!!! where was I the night this aired????? My niece is getting degrees in theoretical physics and math- I'm gonna ask her to build a time machiine

[watchxfiles]

i agree music today just not good. Miss old alternative Hope has a song with massive attack this year, some os it was used in trie blood and a car commercial.

[watchxfiles]

i agree music today just not good. Miss old alternative!

[candyfingerss]

[ilushhhsfg]

This song is just amazing! The lyrics are beautiful:) Love the JAMC & mazzy star.

[KEIRTV]

[GodStarRevisited69]

who cares what her heritage is? she is a great artist. enough.

[bongo155]

Remember this. Good.

[miketb42]

hope sandoval..hot ass hell..but cold ass ice..haaaa!!! (just MY opinion)

[KeithMoonLives4Ever]

oh god ! youre all a bunch knobs as dumb as doorknobs and worse ... im a mexican , born in the u.s but mexican blooded and proud , a mexican is a mexican , not european not this not that just mexican ... fucking twats .... god , do you stupid fuckers really exist ? and this music doesnt help you in your ignorance ? if this music doesnt make you wiser i dont know what could ever will or do .... god be with you in your last moments of ignorance .

but anway peace .

[pepeprom]

She is so Sweet !!

[Bobjb999]

@tamkukushka Since you don't explain yourself all, YOURS is the idiotic comment, & makes me suspect maybe you're some white racist ****

[castingtherunes]

I think Hope is one of the great female vocalists - she takes me to a warm, Mazzy place.

[kirinlager49]

@castingtherunes that sounds kinda gross dude

[sputnikfire]

Is she mixed?

[JewishVegan]

@sputnikfire mixed? wtf?

no one is mixed

people are people you idiot

[sputnikfire]

@JewishVegan Don't be daft. What I meant was, does she come from parents of different heritage? She looks kinda exotic.

[Bobjb999]

@sputnikfire Hope's heritage is Mexican.Her parents were born there.She was born in LA. I have a pet theory about her exotically lovely looks. 85% of Mexicans are a mixture of European (Spanish mostly) & native Indian.10% are Indian&5% are pure European.Pics of modern Mexican Indians show lots of broad, round faces - kind of like Hope's facial structure! Hope's exotic beauty may derive partly from her Indian ancestors.She might bear resemblance to a beautiful Mayan princess of 1,200 years ago!

[harlekin0263]

Great, her name's "Hope"...

[harlekin0263]

thx!

[harlekin0263]

She looks like Mazzy Star

[kowalskiToTheRescue]

@harlekin0263 she IS the singer of Mazzy Star

[giveyouralltohim]

is that nora jones

[TehZombie]

This is SUCH a good performance, I prefer it to the studio version

[Darthmagnet]

Hey bro, you beat me to it! I was going to upload this too! I did not know, however, that they were supposed to be on the previous night. Great song, Great band.

I love TJAMC and Mazzy Star. Magical conjunction.

[mtsn]

Hope is so hot. And so stoned.

[mangouldbarrington1]

Looks like Jim and Hope were completely stoned and dethroned out of their gords during this performance on American Late night television.

[JRvonP]

DAMN she's hot

[goodmorningdear]

This is music.

[cometetodalacarne]

los amo los amo los amooooooooooooooooooooooo

[azynkron]

Fucking brilliant!

[morenarieta]

it looks like there's a Hope......

[aimlessalchemist]

Letterman is so condescending. He had no idea.

[jandean61]

MOTHERFUCKERS GOT RID OF THEIR BLACK MC BOOTS.......sold out to be 90s alternative

[doggerdew]

maybe 94 she was so amazin in that song

[Lyxinux]

What year was that?

[JigokuKitty]

I love the shot @ 1:50 when he looks over at her! :-)

[elementz1986]

J&MC and Hope Sandoval...singing together?! Favorited!

[ziggypunk]

yep, jim & hope were lovers

[noisysoul]

william & hope... not jim!

[KWalsh554]

That girl is a great singer but Christ she's boring to watch. Did she forget her morning coffee or something?

[r1e2d3b4e5a6r7]

Some might say hypnotic, not boring.

She also has near-crippling stage fright.

[HeLLofNorTH]

That is the so-fucking-called STYLE you IDIOT!!

[skiwolf7]

You should check out Hope Sandoval as part of Mazzy Star.

[nadni1]

what's the name of the girl who's singing?

[mspugs44]

Hope Sandoval and dont forget it

[nadni1]

:P thanks

[arseneltic]

Brilliant

[spimster]

man, they all look so young!!! those were the good old days.

[sloughfegkillers]

oh what an amazing song,takes me back thanx!

[silverglobe]

Gorgeous Woman!! Great voice too!!

[Psychowilly]

Lettermans a cock.

[artrca1000]

Maybe they were assholes because the first time they were on his show he called them an ENGLISH band.

[ckyable]

love that album,its a good scottish band saying fuck you were good

[Stereolabe]

Me gusto mucho este dueto, me hizo sentir en esos tiempos con las imágenes calidad VCR grabadas de la tele jaaaaa... (Y)

linda ella de raíces México-americanas, con eso de que casi no se nota el apellido...

Saudos!

[blackk]

My god, Hope is so beautiful. What ever happened to her?

[Lavidicus6]

Last I heard she had she was working on another solo record. The last one was really good. I remember seeing her at Lollapalozza 91 or 92. somewhere in there. I miss the 90's music really bad, Music now a days is nothing like it used to be.. I think I have some old photos of her from 91, If I find them do you want a copyof them?

[bladebrother09]

Hope has 2 albums coming out at the end of september called Through the Devil Softly and Bavarian Fruit Bread which is from 2002

[palehorsepalerider]

Fritos

[pboo94]

Great band and Hope just made them so much better saw them play in Ireland 20yrs ago. Feeling lucky from the stoned and dethroned album features shane Macgowan- this band just have it.

[Ludeboy71]

Jesus, Mary and Hope.

[nasalscarecrow]

Brilliance.

[Waterlaso]

Fantastic!! :)

[uncommonsensical]

fucking Yoko....

[tommyskommy]

awesome

[Mazurka1001]

the "sweet" women are the most lethal.

[nellster66]

wow, i never knew william could actually play like that. lol

its nice

[gordonshitybum]

D Letter is a tittyfucker fukkkin juduscunt. this is my favorite band ever! wow holy man.

[skrason]

Give Dave a break. No other American late night talk show, or any other American TV show, for that matter, featured awesome, under-the-radar acts like JAMC at that time.

[KevL75]

But can he swear?

No.

We can.

[spooledheat]

man hope looks so young

[13scarecrows]

Hope always looks young!

[PUMF]

She sounds a little like Mazzy Starr

[PUMF]

No need to correct me, just found out thats her band. Fool.

[tedz33]

hahahaha! that's funny and you know people here would have a fit if you didn't correct yourself. and a bunch of thumbs down to go with it. nice save

[PUMF]

I'm amazed someones observational skills went beyond "what a dumbass...etc etc" Hahaha.

[ThePoisonDoor]

The Velvet Underground influence shows, Mary Chain are great - Great performance too

[rrrRodders]

oh man, Hope is so gone, haunting and beautiful.

[rkell48]

lol!

[barrington28]

Are you crazy! She's beautiful!

[nickap47]

she looks fucking freaky

[lolakaulitz215]

i kno

sumtyms it makes me wonder if shes trying to look lyk that

or if its all natural lol

[paulachinitadeonce]

sí, está rebien . y nada que ver lo de la familia addams. los demonios de la comparación los acechann, mirones!

[toiroforcado]

Hey! the beginning of this clip is the end of an earlier JAMC appearance, where they looked so sullen that Dave makes those comments when the show comes back from commercials (AFTER they played).  Do you have it?

[aumanilove777]

where have i been hiding/under a rock? I had no idea that Hope was in this band

[wowsera]

She wasn't in the band; she was dating a band member, so that gave them the opportunity to put her fantastic vocal abilities to good use . . .

[optijazz]

Whoa when they zoomed into the girl singing I suddenly had flashbacks of Wednesday Addams from the Addams family for some reason but I love her voice and also love this song.

[diniguan33]

wednesday was hot!

[skywing888]

i was in a bad mood when my mom showed me a few songs she used to listen to this song was one of them so after i listened i felt bad for treating my mom like crap cuz she was only trying to show me this awesome song!! =/

[mynameisyamada]

How old are your Mother..?

[skywing888]

she's 34

[mynameisyamada]

You Rock'n'roll family.

[aristideau]

Thank you, thank you, thank you. Have searched youtube peridocally for years for this. (I had taped years ago, then lost the tape).

Still searching for a complete JAMC guest appearance on Rage from 1994, mine has dodgy sound.

[vcoheda]

omg! hope is so sexy - voice and looks.

[Arkanix]

I love Hope.

[vonpippy76]

Nice one ! Hope looks about 10 here. Classic song

[RobDobbs]

I remember watching this on tv!
