Just what are Primal Scream up to?

didn't like it.

Why don't they just give up?

and not that blues rock shite they've been peddling recently

"I Love To Hurt (You Love To Be Hurt)"?
Bleurgh. You used to mean something.

loads of bits in other bands songs post xtrmntr that are direct robs/'heavily influnced by''s....reckon its been more influential than perhaps given credit for...dunno though, and i s'pose primal scream are the kings of that themselves....

not Dirty Heat, but that sounds kinda good as well. That album had it's moments, like Deep Hit Of Morning Sun, Skull X, Detroit, Scanner Darkly and that. Riot City Blues was a bit of a joke and now this new single. Fuck me it's a big big let down. Thank God they've got Screamadelica, Vanishing Point & XTRMNTR in their catalogue, 3 solid gold classics that make me remember why I loved them in the first place.

do I win a prize?
Yeah he had, Mani joined 2 albums before at Vanishing Point. I reckon Bob is the one to blame for RCB what with his penchant for rock n roll cliche "high energy rock n rol MC5, New York Dolls blah de blah" - except it doesn't sound like that mate.
New single is more of an XTRMNTR/Evil Heat vibe but with all the danger and energy sucked out only to be replaced with Killers style synths and the whiff of "please let us have a hit" about it all.

the days of Vanishing Point.

The Rolling Stones?

very closely followed by XTRMNTR.

for Uniqlo, the fucking prostitute. Everyone's a prostitute these days.

i guess having spent many years 'keepin it real', not doing TOTP and all that they now feel like they are in their twilight years and want to cash in and use 'come together' in phone ads and make safe music that appeals to a wider market and who can bLAME them
