As if the return of Trevor MacDonald and Paul Burrell weren't enough to cause the nation to collectively wonder if the past ten years had passed at all or it was just some weird come-like dream, good old Richard Ashcroft is back in the news having a whinge about his record company, EMI, alongside those equally inspiring, totemic and cutting edge figures, Robbie Williams, Chris Martin and Paul McCartney. I don't know about you but I'm just THRILLED that today's young'uns get to experience the thrills and excitement Marina and I had in our youth.
To be honest, I can't really be bothered to get into what they're all on about - something about being worried that their next records won't be marketed "properly", as though they need to worry about such things, the whole country being on literal tenterhooks for the next Verve album - I just think it's always nice to note when time stands still. Golly, before we know it Led Zeppelin will be back in town and everyone will think that's a really big deal. Oh, hang on, wait a gosh darned minute.,.
