The Corrigan is an evil spirit that steals children’s souls and dances in the moonlight with its unnaturally large head. 'How To Hang Off A Rope', needless to say, borrows little from that other bunch of big-headed soul stealers that dance in the moonlight, Toploader (rip). Instead, emanating from Irel»

People hate beards. This is proven thus: Which is the better Beatles record? ‘Let It Be’ where they have big ugly hippy-face huggers, or any of the others with their cool designs, pretty colours and sexy SMOOTH faces? Exactly. You wouldn’t want to shag InMe if they didn’t look like a bunch o»

It was the lesbians that dunnit.
Finger-licking good they were too, stealing JD from that old pub and having sex in swimming pools full of

Of the all the names to survive 25 years of Madchester, Vinni Reilly isn't probably one you've heard of. Commercially overshadowed by former co»

Resistance is futile. You see: like email, Easter Eggs, text messaging, and Father Christmas, pop is about massive worldwide acceptance of something intimate and personal to you. A bit like sex you could say.
The Hidden Cameras have made the best pop record you will hear this year. It's totally gay, bu»

If the genius of a guitarist is really measured in what they don’t play, then 'Think Tank' is Graham
Coxon’s greatest work. After all the high profile fall outs (Albarn’s hair, and lifelong pal Graham
have both departed), the band’s seventh LP is a genuine pleasure to behold.

Be afraid.
Pick a scene from your favourite Stephen King flick, cross it with your favourite Coopers song – (‘The Lake’, or maybe ‘Murder Song’) - and you have tonight’s horror-show Astoria. It’s hard to see, but a thousand or-so Didz clones are just about visible; silhouetted through»

The Bluetones = The Alan Partridge of Indie
Maybe it was just an adolescent fad: what we all did when we turned fourteen and realised that careers as professional football players didn’t beckon. That music was more fun. When we realised that beer didn’t taste that bad after all. When sports brand»
