MEXADELICA - Don't Fight It Feel It!
While driving in the car yesterday - I heard what sounded like a medley of Primal Scream w/some geezer blabbing away in Spanish over the top.
I was able to pick out "Septiembre" and suddenly my heart literally started racing and my palms got rapidly sweaty, as I wondered if I was, in fact listening to an add for a tour date.
I quickly and frantically checked w/Sandra who confirmed, that they will be here on 21st September. I was unable to contain my excitement. I was like a kid at Christmas getting, not one, but two Action Men!!
I really like Primal Scream, but Screamadelica is one of my all time favourite albums. It's very much a formative part of the soundtrack to my early 20's. A time of mayhem, lunacy and helluva lot fun.
It's now 20 years old and this is a special anniversary tour.
The tour started, just as I was planning to leave for Mexico and I remember being disappointed to miss a chance to see it.
I remember wondering if they would make it down to Mexico, but a quick check on their website showed no dates, so I promptly forgot all about it. I can't wait, I really can't wait.
If someone had said all those years ago, that I'd be celebrating the 20 year birthday of the album in Mexico City, I would have dismissed them as lunatics. How the world turns?
For those of you who don't know - here's a SAMPLE (Come Together) of what it should be like.
That's a still, very giddy and happy me in silhouette in the background. Just as well my inane grin is not visible!
