THREE REASONS WHY JAPAN IS BETTER THAN ANYWHERE:
- the Goth Hello Kitty, which is an accurate representation of what Goths are like, rather than flattering their self-image like Emily Strange
- Pocky, except the tea flavour
- The Japanese version of Primal Screams Greatest Hits. Now, this could just be an internet hoax, but we've been sent this tracklisting which is a much better summation of the Scream's career to date than the 'what, us, wear big spotty shirts and have fringes? Not us, guv' album they brought out in the UK:

When The Kingdom Comes (2000 Single "Accelerator" B-side )
Star (1997 Album "Vanishing Point" )
Velocity Girl (1986 Single "Crystal Crescent" B-side )
Ivy Ivy Ivy (1989 Album "Primal Scream" )
City (2002 Album "Evil Heat" )
Don't Fight It, Feel It 7" edit (1991 Album "Screamadelica" )
Medication (1997 Album "Vanishing Point" )
All Fall Down (1985 Single "All Fall Down" A-side )
Come Together(Terry Farley Mix) (1990 Single "Come Together" )
Screamadelica (1992 Single "Dixie-Narco EP" B-side )
So Sad About Us (The Who) (1987 Single "Imperial" B-side )
Revenge Of Hammond Connection (2000 Single "Kill All Hippies" B-side )
I'm Losing More Than I'll Ever Have (1989 Album "Primal Scream" )
Gentle Tuesday (1987 Album "Sonic Flower Groove" )
MBV Arkestra (If They Move Kill 'Em) (2000 Album "XTRMNTR" )
Darklands (1998 Single "If They Move Kill 'Em" B-side )
Imperial (1987 Album "Sonic Flower Groove" )
Jesus (1997 Single "Star" B-Side )

Looking at it, it does seem a little too good to be true and might just be a bubble of fantasy on the part of someone somewhere in the internet. It's hard to imagine any Primals comp which misses out Loaded - so maybe this is a companion piece? Certainly we'd like to have such a record, oh yes.
