No Rock And Roll Fun

LIKE SONIC FLOWERED GROOVE NEVER HAPPENED: As nme.com points out, Primal Scream's Best Of collection seems to have neglected the first ten years of their existence. Mind you, it can't be because they don't want to be embarrased by their past transgressions - if you were trying to preserve your air of studied cool, surely you'd be more likely to find space for the sublime Velocity Girl rather than Jailbird? And while Loaded is rightly there in all its commence de sciele glory, by not including its fey-indie alter ego, the beautiful I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have is a US foreign policy move - all the glory, none of the understanding of how we got there.
