When the waitress asks him what he wants, Bobby Gillespie puts up his hand with a strange, timid determination, as though she were a teacher who had just asked what photo-synthesis was and, look, he's not trying to show off or anything, but he's positive he's got this one right.
Gillespie takes compliments very well; he is also unabashed by the notion of heaping praise upon his band, to the point where he often sounds as if he's talking about somebody else.
Gillespie doesn't elaborate as to why this should be the case, but the two things that seem to capture his imagination - apart from his own music and that of a small clutch of rock behemoths (Iggy Pop, Kurt Cobain, Jim Morrison) - are graphic violence and drug culture.

 “WHAT ELSE AM I GONNAE DAE? SELL ONIONS?” - [Sunday Herald]
Perched in the centre of a fl leather sofa in his publicist’s tidy side-office (also Madonna’s UK publicist), the 44-year-old Bobby Gillespie is not so very different, physically, from the cartoon rock‘n’roll righteous brother who told the world in his late 20s, back in ’91, his elevational soul music was “an orgiastic celebration of gone-ness”.
By ’88, indie-pop was over as “aciieed!” culture terrorised the tabloids and by ‘90, Bobby’s pal, the DJ and remix alchemist Andy Weatherall, steered Primal Scream towards the psychedelic soul-dance brilliance of their Screamadelica masterpiece (’91), one of the greatest albums ever made.
Growing up in Springburn, Glasgow, Bobby was born an extremist, heavily influenced by his Trades Union Official dad (a burly Glaswegian who had ‘love’ and ‘hate’ knuckle tattoos), who once stood as Labour candidate in a Glasgow Parliamentary election, inspiring Bobby to his life-long belief in old-school Labour socialism.

Xtrmntr, Primal Scream's sixth album, is apparently frontman Bobby Gillespie's attempt at a searing indictment of the United States' globe-spanning militarism and the apologist media frenzy that accompanies it.
Yeah, he's a pretty angry man. Of course, as is the case with any political commentary from a guy who spends almost as much time stoned as he spends awake, this should be taken with a grain of salt.
At the heart of xtrmntr is the killer single "Swastika Eyes", in which a throbbing, New Order-ish bass line is paired with frenetic beats, chugging guitars, lots of keyboard burbling and Gillespie's soaring/scathing vocal.
