One last thing Primal Scream's Screamadelica defined my 1990s – my musical gateway drugDouble J is celebrating the 90s through June, and Myf Warhurst writes on the musical gateway drug that helped transform her life: "I can still listen to Screamadelica today without cringing. In fact, it gives me joy. It reminds me of that not fully formed blank canvas, but in a good way. It makes me feel both old and young, but mostly alive. Still. And that is the point of nostalgia, surely?"  Have an excellent day and if you spot something I've missed, let me know on Twitter at @earleyedition.
