Prepare yourself for baggy pastel suits and gratuitous sax solos, as I try to avoid a ban pun incorporating the bands only US hit, “True”, Q has the scoop on these former New Romantics. This really is just wholly unnecessary. But I guess if The Outfield is still touring, these guys could justify it too. […]

Back-end Babyshambles to issue ultimatum to Doherty
April 10th, 2007
Hahahaha. Looks like Pete Doherty’s band is sick of his flaky shit. Doherty allegedly disappears for weeks on end, spending time with his girlfriend Kate Moss. The band has been reduced to sneaking up on Doherty at a solo gig to confront him with a ‘Kate Moss or us’ threat. Hahahaha. Yeah, I’m sure that’ll […]

April 5th, 2007

WTF: Joy Division trainers?
April 3rd, 2007
I thought these were a joke on a few blogs today, but New Balance in England has made a very limited run of these Unknown Pleasures– themed trainers. The company has no plans to mass produce them (according someone on the New Order forum who emailed New Balance), and only a few boutiques in Manchester […]

The Cure to work with Ashley Simpson?
April 2nd, 2007
Please, God, let this be an April Fool’s joke. Why, oh, why would The Cure have anything to do with Ashley Simpson? First it was an appearance on Blink-182’s final record. Ok, bad, but not hopless. Then it was a duet with Korn for its unplugged session. Worse, and pretty much unforgivable. So, now, any […]
