Prml Scrm - 'Shoot Speed/Kill Light' (Xtrmntr - 2000)

Before we start, I have a straightforward request for you. The Run Out Grooves is about endings, and I’ve been through a difficult one recently.

On Sunday, I will participate in Macmillan Cancer Support’s Mighty Hike, a half-marathon walk beside the Thames in honour of my late colleague and friend Helen. Helen was my boss during the pandemic, and sadly, whilst on maternity leave earlier this year, she passed away. She leaves her husband, young son, friends, family and colleagues with a gap in their lives. I would be very grateful for anyone who can throw some coins at us (not literally) to make the blisters more bearable.

At the start of the new millennium, after the visitors left the Dome after planes didn’t fall from the sky, there was a sense of where is the next concern coming from. By the end of the year, there would be a contested US election, and within a year, 9/11 put the idea of history ending to bed. But at the time, there was very little happening. One of the more significant stories from that month was Tony Blair's wife, Cherie, receiving a fine for not having a valid train ticket with her on a journey from Blackfriars to Luton. This month, I worked briefly in a call centre on a Saturday for some extra pounds. Once my pay packets stopped paying for records from 1999 I hadn’t heard of and wanted to, I bought my first record of the millennium, Primal Scream’s XTRMNTR, or should that be PRML SCRM? Yes, it should, in fact…
