I think a song from this jam was released as a b-side of a primal scream single. Something like I'm 5 Years Ahead of My Time. -- M Carty (mcarty...), September 22nd, 2006.

"5 Years Ahead of My Time" is a cover of 60s garage band the Third Bardo. Why o why did Gillespie not change the lyrics to "I'm 25 years behind the times."

Marie Gordon Price was (probably still is) sort of a Scots Helen Shapiro grown up and gone stale. She had a terrible teatime show on STV in the late seventies, "The Old Rugged Cross" and "Son Of A Preacher Man" and what have you (used to be on right before Thingummyjig).

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Friday, 22 September 2006 10:32 (nineteen years ago)

I've expunged her from my memory (I wish I could say the same for "Thingummyjig")

he won life time achievment award in the nme, and all these fucking dullards like the klaxons were singing his praises. just disgustingly sycophantic. this thread veers into custos territory.

Isn't Screamadelica the over-rated steaming pile ever? Only Jah Wobble saves it from being completely worthless.

― leavethecapital, Sunday, 13 May 2007 00:26 (nineteen years ago)

This seems like the thread to point out that at ATP he was introduced by Nick Cave (who he was playing maracas for) as "former Jesus & Mary Chain drummer, Bobby Gillespie".
