Don't know whether this belongs in music or books...
Been reading Bad Vibes by Haines. A genuinely funny account of the mass hypnosis that was Britpop. Haines comes out of the whole affair as a principled bastard who seems to sabotage his career at every turn. He nails all the usual suspects with an unerring precision but none more so than himself.
I went back and listened to the Auteurs stuff again - it's not bad - certainly travels better than the first Suede album (and certainly better than Elastica's). I never got on with Black Box Recorder but warmed to his recent solo album.
Anyone else give a monkey's about him?
