^ Very nice! I ended up letting YouTube do its' thing, and an hour of Mr. Holmes later my house is cleaner, my outlook brighter and my step way peppier.

My New York days have been on my mind lately and I've found myself digging through my catalog of short-lived but unforgettable local bands I enjoyed during my time there and forevermore.

One of the best things about loving music and getting older is you acquire so much music you essentially become your own radio station.
Or, at the very least, your brain become an instant jukebox. The bulk of my music collection was stolen a few years ago - over 10,000 LPs; 1,000s of singles; too many irreplaceable cassettes to contemplate; and bog knows how many aluminum roundies - and, although it still stings, I'm finally able to hear a song I love without an accompanying fit of nausia and sadness. I think that my decision to use this thread to share whatever tune it is that managed to fight its way to the top of my milky brains on any given day has been the final kick to the ribs of my years-long pity party over the theft.

Re: SOTD
^^ You know you have to cut me some slack on dates. I'm old (47) I spent at least a good 17-20 years of my life indulging in just about any substance known to man so I get close to the right date. Can't remember everything lol. I do remember a single off that LP being out in 88, Elephant Stone maybe? I just remember it being a time when YOU had to seek good music and it was tough unless you were getting UK magazines (no internet) not like today where you're bombarded with crap posing as music. Wel I guess the kids have it rough because looking for good music today is like looking for the proverbial needle in the haystack.
Anyhow yeah I do have that Primal Scream but after seeing them in 1992 on a US Scremadelica tour (Screamadelica is top 10 all time in my mind!) I kind of didn't like the follow up LP after the Dixie Narco EP. So I sort of forgot about them and immersed myself in the rave scene, I was only in 2000 when my boss at Breakbeat Science- DB handed me a promo copy of XTRMNTR (He chucked it at me and said this is your kind of stuff right?) that I heard that track with My Bloody Valentine's Kevin Shields. Definitely a great tune and I soon went online and bought the CD single you mention. I mean honestly is that cover not the best or what?
