Primal Scream Meet The Two Lone Swordsmen - Stuka

Excellent pair of Two Lone Swordsmen remixes from 1997.

The reason for this post is that a certain Mr Weatherall dropped this on Friday night - the first time I've ever heard him play a Primal Scream tune! The lack of posts over the weekend are a result of the nick I was in following the blowout after the immense set that I witnessed down at the Bastard Dancehall. He played a dub-tastic set, sprinkled with a couple of tracks from the Boardroom 2 album and the vocal mix of this. I thought at one point near the start that I could hear Brother Johnston sneaking in but it wasn't to be. Plenty more besides, but the emphasis was on dancey dub, if that makes sense. The bass vibrated right through my cock during a mid-set piss in the bog halfway up the stairs. What a sound system!

He was looking very dapper - shirt and braces with THAT 'tache and a beard as well, although shaved sides and the usual semi-quiff on top. One girl came up to me towards the end and said, "where's he from?". I replied, "darkest London" and she went "ooh, I thought he was a Geordie. He looks like a Geordie weightlifter from a circus" ... I had another look at him and could kinda see what she meant.

I tried to catch him for a word, but they cleared the place pretty quickly at the end and he was hidden away behind the makeshift curtain on stage. Not the busiest night I've been at, but it was £12 on the door and there was plenty of stuff on elsewhere in town so I guess it was for the hardcore only. Scotland's best radio station, Radio Magnetic, has posted up a mix that he did to promote the evening - their site seems to be a bit iffy just now so click here to download the mix from 4Shared if it's down.

Can't believe that's only the first time I've seen him play since starting the blog, but I guess he's been pretty busy on the production/remix side of things. Missed him once before this year but certainly won't be missing him next time...

No, I meant the fannies who were moaning about not being able to work RAR files - they were on the Spz forum.
