Er...I didn't say Momus is rock'n'roll. Which is probably a good thing.

Bobby/Ned slash fiction???

Woo-hoo ! Kate needs to get to work on this right now !

The prospect of me hooking up with the world's Most Assless Man is truly disturbing and hilarious all at once.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I would *so* write Ned/Bobby fan fiction if it were not for the fact that both Ned and his lovely girlfriend Jane would kick my ASS from here to Glasgow and back, if I were even to try... ;-)

Screamadelica is a wonderful record, and XTRMNTR is without doubt one of my favourite records ever. I've got almost everything else they've done, but don't listen to it half as much as those two. Primal Scream are definitely one of my all-time favourite bands, and the fact that they're erratic and cliched and messy all adds to the charm.

Nick Southall, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Actually, I'd be entertained and Jane would probably laugh her head off. Go on, Kate, give it a go. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

'Ach, Ned, yer overeducated, ye've got nae drugs, yer record collection's just no up to standard and ye need to see a stylist,' rasped Bobby G, tugging his leather breeks to his ankles and hunkering down on the cream vinyl Star Wars style settee of Ned's East Village apartment, 'but I cannae resist the feel o yer Thatcherite truncheon up ma mine shaft... Ned, Ned, Christ, come on, take me higher... let's come thigither, ya bastard...' And, very gently, he -- [continued page 244]

Momus, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

*still laughing my ass off* I've been immortalized in a Momus-written pornographic fan fic involving Bobby Gillespie, what more do I need out of life! I'll just find the noose I've got around here and be done with it. ;-)

Ned Raggett, Monday, 16 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

Word to Norman Fay. They blow a long dog. I even like a couple songs by them but the idea of them is BOGUE BOGUE BOGUE. I hate singers with that studiedly "vulnerable" "I'm looking at myself in a mirror in the vocal booth" sound, it makes me wanna kick their balls...if yr idea of "rock'n'roll" is this (only actual content - VANITY) no wonder people in yr half of the world say r'n'r is dead. Hurry up & bury it.

Latter day Primal Scream: a bit like Gorillaz?p> Agree with Gareth about Andy Weatherall.

One of the funniest things I've ever heard was a story about when Bobby decided to introduce the much-vaunted 'dance element' to their records. Apparently it caused all sorts of soul-searching in the band, culminating in one member bursting into tears and shouting about 'joining forces with everything we've ever fought against'.

One question: you know when people call them 'the scream'? Is that a joke?

Nick, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

No, no, it's 'the scream team', pfffffffffffff.

DG, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

I just gave them a re -listen after many years last night and I must say, boring dud. Another hyped band fails to produce. SOunds like George Michael meets Suicide circa 1990.

Yeah, that's why it's a classic. :)

Omar, Tuesday, 17 July 2001 00:00 (twenty-two years ago) link

'George Michael meets Suicide', hmmm...that reminds me, since the weight of public opinion is bearing down on the 'Primals' (well, what's stupider, that or the 'Scream Team'? Okay, both), I have to say that I like their Suicide rip-off cover of "96 Tears", if only because they were shamefaced enough to actually forego the publishing royalties that time.

four years pass...
I was at my first ever Primal Scream gig in London's Wembley Stadium. The highlight of course was "Star". I was sat a few rows from the front of the stadium and I was sure Bobby Gillespie winked and smiled at me.

After the gig I wandered backstage looking for the Scream's dressing room. I found it easily, and then I listened at the door and heard their gorgeous Scottish accents inside. I was listening for about ten minutes before I felt a tap on my shoulder.

It was their Bass Player, Mani. He asked me if I'd like to be able to hear them more clearly. I nodded my head but instead of opening the door for me he pushed me against the wall opposite.

He moved his hands all over my body still fully clothed. Our breathing started getting heavier. Then he lifted up my T-shirt and my bra and started stroking my breasts. He pressed his hands down harder and my breathing became faster. He put his head in front of my breasts and started licking the tips. They began to harden.

Just them the dressing room door opened and Bobby Gillespie walked out and stopped and stared at what he saw. "Wouldn't you rather do that inside, Mani?" He asked Mani. Mani took my hand and led me inside the dressing room. Bobby followed behind.

Inside the dressing room were the other members: Duffy, Throb and Innes. They all looked at me holding Mani's hand. I noticed I still had my T-shirt and bra lifted up and they all could see my breasts.

My nipples were softening now. They all looked as though they wanted me badly. Mani asked me to lie on a double mattress on the floor. I took all my clothes off first. My underwear seemed to disappear very quickly. It was hard to tell where it went as they were all gathered around it. There was a scuffle for my underwear then they moved nearer me and my underwear had gone. I couldn't tell which one of the cheeky Scotsmen had my underwear. I was lying on my back on the mattress. I wondered who would make the first move. Bobby did.

He spoke to me paying me compliments on my body. He knew I enjoyed hearing his voice. He looked deep into my eyes and then planted a small kiss on my lips. He moved away as if he had enough already...then he came back again. He put one of his big hands on my breasts.

He started moving the hand on my breast in a circular motion. I smiled at him. He smiled back at me... but it wasn't just a normal smile... it was a warm sexy smile. His eyes looked so beautiful when he smiled. I couldn't take my eyes off his beautiful face. The other members were becoming impatient. Innes pushed Bobby out of the way. I made a suggestion of something that would please me. Innes pushed Bobby onto the floor and started undressing him. He rubbed his hands all over Bobby's nakedness. He took Bobby's cock in his big hands and started stroking it gently. Then he put it into his mouth and sucked it. It was really turning Bobby on. While I was watching standing up now, I suddenly felt a hand on my back. The hand went and then I felt a hard cock entering me from behind. I didn't know who's it was...

the article in Observer Music Magazine at the weekend was interesting and contained things i didn't really know before like his links with Altered Images and the Pastels. And his Peter Hook's Bass Guitar annecdote.

Ha ha yes.

I was meaning to buy that OMM, after I saw the cover - "look at me, I am the new syd barret damo suzuki mick jagger roky erikson gram parsons" for the rofflez. But, seeing as it's written by (ugh) james brown, I'm glad I didn't bother.

Yes, what a combination, Bobby Gillespie and James Brown - what year is this again?

    "Suicide Sally And Johnny Guitar."

    *even more meaningful pause*

    Mr Gillespie clearly sees himself as this:

    barnaby69, Tuesday, 25 April 2006 09:50 (eighteen years ago) link

    OK, between jobs, I sat down and read the observer article. If you took all of the namedropping out of it (johnny thunders' bowtie!! hooky's bass!!!!! ect etc etfc) well, I was going to say the article would be about 1/5 the length, but I dunno, maybe there wouldne even be any article left at all?

    Pashmina (Pashmina), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 09:54 (eighteen years ago) link

    Reading that Razzle thing upthread, Mani morphs into David Rappaport with his star sunglasses on - in my head, that is.

    Maybe they could work on this for their live shows though.

    my 'favourite' line:

    "Hart and I sit at the back and chat about models and opiates, and which is more likely to do you in quicker."

    25 yr old slacker cokehead (Enrique), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 10:57 (eighteen years ago) link

    A lot of that article reads like myth-making. Like the Kelvin Hall memory where Brown gets "introduced to three guys with thick black curly hair and black army shirts. Jim, William and Douglas were the Jesus and Mary Chain, who were soon hyped as the new Sex Pistols, the band that would give Creation Records a foothold in the world". I guess Brown wants to give the impression he was on the ground floor of something cool. But the whole JAMC "New Punk" thing was the previous year. By May 1985 the JAMC had already left Creation, signed with a major and had a couple of minor hits with Never Understand and You Trip Me Up.

    I also question whether Bobby Gillespie ever played with the Pastels. I've never heard of that before and there's so much fact bending in the article that I doubt it's true.

    This is my 'favourite' line:

    When computers came out, he [Andrew Innes] got one straight away and learnt how to work them. Oasis call him "Brains".

    PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Tuesday, 25 April 2006 16:15 (eighteen years ago) link

    Playing in the Pastels - wow, how rock and roll is that!

    On his kneees.

    PJ Miller (PJ Miller 68), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 09:03 (eighteen years ago) link

    "oasis call him 'brains'"

    OMG.

    Pashmina (Pashmina), Wednesday, 26 April 2006 09:09 (eighteen years ago) link

    big hands and brains, what more could you want in a band I ask you.

    When computers came out, he [Andrew Innes] got one straight away and learnt how to work them. Oasis call him "Brains".

    I also got a ZX Spectrum and learned to load Manic Miner. Unless he had a mainframe that was the size of a room--in which case, kudos.

    I looked for a picture of David Rappaport in full-on Mani mode, but found nothing, except a lady who can tell it's Tizer when her eyes are shut.
