hi luka you nutter! like the rest of the first wave music blogging world (it seems) am currently busy working on a book project but haven't given up on the blog stuff though production rate has gone down considerably as actual want-just-to-listen-to-the-music time increases exponentially (also...

ha! according to no less (pretentious? ;) ) an authority than ian penman (my wife was doing some research and asked him for advice re. where to start with derrida) yr much better off reading bluffer's guides to derrida than the man himself (and that itself is prob a v derrida-ish thing in...

beanos is still going, albeit on one floor only and sans coffee. still just about the only possible reason why anyone would want to go to croydon, though memory lane is good for fifties/sixties stuff.

hmm, faced with that "choice" i may well bite the bullet and go on amazon full-time...

yeah, that's what's sort of put me off going there, the suspicion that they haven't increased the amount of music they have in stock but just put it in a bigger space and pretended that it's a better shop. also i don't approve of all this wi-fi link-up/coffee bar/live stages stuff. i go to a...

Destiny's Child had one great album nearly a decade old which they've been living off ever since. Cheryl Cole once publicly called me "fookin' mental." I know whose side I'm on.

Seconded! He helped give the world the Pet Shop Boys? Give this man a knighthood! :)

You sure about this? Nil on IMDB nor on Google.

Very likely the case. But why publish his incessant grumblings in a national newspaper (then again you could say that about all newspaper columnists)? Amazing how far in the world of meritocratic journalism you can get when you shag a prominent Blairite politician* innit? *allegedly

Unbelievable yet also sadly believable, this: http://arts.guardian.co.uk/filmandmusic/story/0,,1982573,00.html Maybe Worzel should try his luck elsewhere. I hear the BNP in-house magazine is in need of writers.

Ah, dear old Petridish, slagging off Morley like Pardew knocking Ferguson... He wants to be the Woodrow Wyatt of pop (I ALEXIS, the Voice of Reason, not like those nasty blogs that are so pretentious and difficult to read) but since he is demonstrably useless at looking inside other people's...

I'm taking a break for a couple of months, I have some stuff I need to do. But I guarantee I will be back early in the New Year. Yeah, that's not a clear explanation at all, is it?

There's REO Speedwagon on the radio now - haven't you heard Westlife's version of "Keep On Loving You"? Of course, thanks to Guilty Pleasures all the difficult stuff from the past will also be effortlessly ironed out so that the seventies will FOREVER be about ELO and Supertramp and never PiL...

The blissout band that time forgot? Three-piece semi-instrumental American group led by one Bond Berglund; they released one incredible EP - World Crunch - in '86 with the phenomenal "Greenwich Mean Time" which is still my idea of what "post-rock" should have sounded like (in every other...

Worzel's CD collection would I thought be more likely to be sprinkled with mouse droppings...

I don't know how Morley puts up with him on Newsnight Review. There'll be a fistfight sooner or later, you mark my words...

How come an article like this gets published in the Guardian, in 2006? Or is that a self-evidently silly question?

Not heard the Junior Boys, then (OK, the pitch perfect vocals proviso might disqualify them)?

I think you've answered your own question, Simon! Also remember that on a worldwide scale none of the movements you cite could really be considered massive, at least not commercially, except perhaps for punk, long after the event.
