The latest album from Tame Impala is called The Slow Rush. It starts with these words Do you remember we were standing here a year ago / Our minds were racing and time went slow / If there was trouble in the world we didn’t know / If we ever cared we didn’t show” Like so much music, there is a whole new resonance to these lyrics in light of the events of 2020. It was released on valentines day of this year, just when Covid 19 was becoming more than a rumour. Just when everything stopped and time went really fast. Suddenly it’s November and I don’t know how it’s November because time has flown but somehow February feels like a decade ago. The nine months that have passed since then have been the opposite of a slow rush – a fast sludge? A quick crawl? Thank f**k for music. Tonight Tame Impala have recorded us a live gig from their studio in Perth. They filmed it themselves and you can hear it and see it at 7pm on @bbcr1 and on the Radio 1 youtube. Kevin Parker will be our special guest chatting through his year. X
