Primal Scream: C or D?

"Rocks" was a guaranteed floor-filler at Cafe Bleu.

CCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

Reader:
"A few years ago i blagged a ticket to an icelandic music festival, travelling with primal scream and prodigy. on a day off, after taking a coach up a very steep mountain road to a glacier, you threw an embarrassingly girly fit, refused to travel down with the rest of us, and demanded a hellicopter. remember?"

Bobby G:
"haha! Right, what happened was it took hours to get up there and the whole time I thought the bus was going to topple over the edge, and i was really cold too. when we got to the top, i just went 'get me fucking out of here'. and this guy put me in a jeep and drove me back at 90mph - that was really exciting, like being in some crazy road movie. as for demanding the hellicopter, yeah i probably did. Hey, that's fair enough. I'm a lead singer in a fucking rock and roll band! Why not?"

I love the way he tries to regain some macho pride by saying "that was really exciting, like being in some crazy road movie". Bobby gillespie: man of the people, indeed.

the music, on the other hand...

interviews with bobby are funny bcz he's a bit of a fule!

Strangely enough, I actually agree.

La la la la la laaa, Bobby G, how I love him. Horton Who?

''XTRMNTR and Screamadelica are both classic''

don't know abt 'screamadelica but XTRMNTR insults me.

Most of the rest doesn't move me to one extreme or the other.

And neither do we, so f*** off ya talentless c***

NME gave the Scream dogs abuse for the Give Out But Don't Give Up
album. Infact they really hated rocks in particular when they reviewed the single.

That album may not be perfect but I don't think it's as bad as NME & Co claimed at the time.

The new album is a return to stonesy stuff isn't it? hmmm. I'm not sure thats a great idea though, they've spent years trying to get rid of that image. Still lets wait and see what it sounds like before judging. After all Evil Heat was just a rehash of xtrmntr(their best album IMO)

At least the Scream aren't just content releasing clones of Screamadelica which I'm sure the press would've preferred.

'nuff said?

that don't remember screamadelica.

they were only 11 when xtrmntr was released.

Their management had arranged for Luton Airport to remain open longer than usual so the band could fly in after playing in Dublin. Apparently Luton wasn't "rock 'n' roll" enough, and the band refused to make the trip. They were banned from appearing on the show for the next three years.

Say no more. Oh wait...

"He’s just Michael Hutchence with a better record collection and a worse voice, you know, hehe."
Edwyn Collins speaking of Bobby Gillespie

! probably their best record

‘shoot speed kill light’ is so good

It is.

I literally just heard Screamadelica two weeks ago and have known XTRMNTR for twenty years. It’s a disorienting thing.

Wow.

I’ve always thought of XTRMNTR as the inverse of Screamadelica. They’re structured very similarly.

Agreed. From multiple mixes of the same song to radical remixes of tunes from the last record.

Bobby's Insta always delivers: https://www.instagram.com/primalscreamofficial/

Yo Bobby G!!!!!!!!🤘🔥❤️@primalscreamofficial Witnessed blinding gig last nite by @thurstonmoore58 @cafeotodalston TM & James Shredwards straffing on twin guitar sonic attack whilst our darling @googoogiegoo anchored the sound w/ stone solid bass rhythms allowing the boys to fly around her ( sonically speaking ! ) freely safe in the knowledge they had a safe place to land again after their psyche zonked astral ( guitar ) adventure's - all needle frequency angular solos spiralling into hypnotic drones which sucked out our skulls and spewed out our brains and it felt real good, lemme tell you people. It was a Zoom only type affair so only fifteen of us lucky ones got to see it in the flesh. Such a blast to see a proper r & r band play again and it sure did blast away de ol' lockdown blues. 🎸⭐️🎸 Photograph by Brother @jamesendeacott

pic has got a lot of "day release from Monster Mansion" energy.

Hilarious

He's beyond parody but I'm going to keep on trying.

lol I think all the music hacks who encouraged him for decades should bear some responsibility for his condition. Someone from literature-twitter pointed out that the Kipling quote is wrong!

All Boaby knows about Kipling is that he makes exceedingly good cakes.

That truly is something else.

Really sad to read how they treated Martin Duffy

Primal Scream really don’t come out well from this. https://t.co/9GZGirdgiT
