A recent NME article mentioned that Mani was in the studio with the Scream. Apparently Mani heard Ian Brown's new album, Solarized, and wants to record some new music with him. September 26, 2004Scream Signed Boogie Board Auction for charityPrimal Scream have designed a boogie board for Greenpeace. It's signed by the entire band Visit their site for all the details. You can apparently bid now at Fake London Genius. They are taking bids until January 2005. Starting bid is £200. Primal Scream to play in South America They will play in Sao Paulo, Brazil on November 6th at 09:30 pm (GMT -03:00). The show will be part of the Tim Music Festival 2004 and will happen at the Sao Paulo's Jockey Club. This is the first time they come to Brazil. September 23, 2004Bob writes liner notes for Can's 'Tago Mago' reissueThe album is due out October 25th. It is remastered from the original tapes, overseen by the band and now sound like they were supposed to. This is interesting From the forthcoming reissue of 'Tago Mago' by Can - liner notes as written by Bobby Gillespie of Primal Scream of his connection to Can and recollections of a long night of jamming with the band... I've loved the Can ever since I was a teenage punk rocker, I bought Cannibalism' in a fire sale 'cos it had a weird spacey cover and sleeve notes by Pete Shelley from the Buzzcocks. The music was like nothing I'd even heard before, not American, not rock'n'roll, but mysterious and European, a true occult sound. John Lydon was always checking for them and I loved PIL. A life long connection had been made. A few years later, when I played in The Jesus and Mary Chain, we did a creepy crawl version of 'Mushroom' that twinned William Reid's white hot sheet metal symphonic feedback guitar violence with Jim Morrison reincarnated as Jim Reid in a black leather rock and roll fantasy death rattle low moan blues - 'I was born and I was dead'. Perfect. Fast forward to summer of 1997, a chance meeting in Cologne and Sarah Lowe leads me and Mani being invted to dinner with the Can (Michael, Irmin, Holger, Jaki). Over the course of a delightful evening, I gave Jaki a copy of the new Primal Scream single 'Kowalski', hoping that if he liked it, then maybe we might play together, make a record (he did like it, especially the drums, which we'd sampled from 'Halleluwah'), three weeks later, Jaki came to our London studio to play drums on some new music that we had recorded. One track was an insane Kevin Shields staring-at-asteroids psycho freak-out guitar O.D. instrumental (untitled and unreleased). The other was our version of the 60s garage classic of the Third Bardo's 'I'm Five Years Ahead of My Time', Jaki played his magikal over them, we were spellbound in the prescense of a true master. Halfway through the session Liam Gallagher and his friend Brian Cannon turned up, Liam wasn't aware of Jaki, but Cannon was freaked, he was a massive Can-head, offerings were burnt, sacrifices were made, the ceremony continued, Sarah Lowe called, 'Can Michael come over?'. 'Yeah, sure, of course', I said, 'For fuck's sake, Michael Karoli!'. So there was five of us, Andrew Innes on guitar, me on vocals, Jaki Leibezeit on drums, Michael Karoli on guitar and Liam Gallagher on one finger piano. We jammed our arses off, till five in the morning, hard and heavy on a two-chord Karoli groove, what a night! I'll never forget it. We all fell out of the studio arm-in-arm and walked up the road high and happy, blasted by the magick of Can, The Can!
