A recording of Kraftwerk’s “Trans-Europe Express” night at the Tate Modern seems to have fallen off the back of the internet this morning: genuinely not sure where one of my colleagues found it, before you ask.
A nice end to this week’s selection, anyhow. Plenty to engage with here: I know and understand why Primal Scream probably get short shrift from many of you, but if it’s possible to circumnavigate the daftness, I really like “2013”, more than anything since “XTRMNTR”. Kevin Shields and – possibly – James Chance involved, it seems. Check out the Alan Sparhawk/Nels Cline face-off embedded below, too. And wow, Steve Gunn…
