Thanks for that, it was an interesting listen. So that's what Andrew Innes sounds like!

Well I'm sure by now all of you know about the "Swastika Eyes" cover by Autokratz but you might not of heard these 3 (yes 3!) different covers of that song:

Yeah that's a good site. Don't know if you are a fan but THE CRAMPS stuff on there is wicked

Totally agree with you on that. Seeing as this is the Primal Scream forum I thought it might be interesting to point out that Bobby does not agree with us. I've read Bobby say many a time his favourite Stooges album is "Raw Power".

One of the first bands I ever loved. Even before I loved Primal Scream. "The Killing Moon" is one of the best singles ever made (& "Nothing last forever" one of the best comeback singles ever made). Mac is a star obviously blessed with a wonderful voice & Will Seargeant is one damned hot guitar player BUT............ I still miss Pete De Freitas. One hell of a drummer!!!!!!!!!!! I saw them "back in the day" at Gloucester Leisure Centre & the Birmingham NEC.

I have a wonderful radio bootleg of the band playing live doing covers of Television's "Friction", The Velvets' "Run Run Run" & Wilson Pickets "The Midnight Hour" (amongst others). It is top stuff & now I'm gonna upload it here for you.

Give me awhile.........

New York Dolls have announce details of a one-off London show.

Taking place at KOKO on April 19, the group are playing in support of their latest album 'Cause I Sez So'.

Released in May 2009, the LP was produced by Todd Rundgren who originally produced New York Dolls' 1973 self-titled debut album.

The band, who got back together in 2004, now consists of just two original members, singer David Johansen and guitarist Sylvain Sylvain, following the death of bassist Arthur 'Killer' Kane.

To check the availability of New York Dolls tickets and get all the latest listings, go to NME.COM/TICKETS now, or call 0871 230

Still in shock at hearing the sad news of Alex Chilton passing away. It's difficult to think of Big Star without thinking of Primal Scream & Bobby Gillespie. Bobby & The Scream have constantly given praise to Big Star hopefully gaining them a whole new audience in the process.

I can't honestly say I bought "Sister lovers" after reading Bobby's words about it but it's possible. Around that time (late 80's) I bought some of the best records ever, some of my favourite records ever - all those classics from the 60's & 70's (Pet Sounds, Tonight's the night, There's a riot goin' on, forever changes etc.   etc...).

Usually I found out about records through reading interviews with my hero's (like Bob or Julian Cope for example). They would be interviewed by the NME and talk about great records like Can or The Stooges. Then people like me would pop off to the local record store & buy them.

This is exactly the same as how Bob says he got into certain music. He claimed to have got into Can because of John Lydon always mentioning them.

ANYWAY if you are reading this Primal Scream I think a big THANK YOU is in order for the music you have recommended to us over the years. Without you our record collections might not be quite so good.

I was lucky enough to see Big Star in 94 (or whatever) headlining the small tent at the Reading Festival. Ok Chris Bell wasn't there & half the band were made up from the band The Posies BUT I was impressed. I chose to see them instead of New Order headlining at the big stage.

Alex was a star. I was impressed. I saw Big Star!!!! I went back to my tent happy.

So THANK YOU AGAIN PRIMAL SCREAM for spreading the word about amazing music!!!!!!!!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm off to play "Sister lovers" followed by "Like flies on Sherbert"

RIP Alex
