Squadgy faced, tuneless goon made being not that good actually, sub poet-rock as BLAND selfwank juice, a sellable quality by and for suckers. Never did an audience and their Prince of Relentless Indie-Void (and he treated those suckers like turd) so deserve each other. Was always tempted to nuke a venue he was playing at in the name of pest control but chances are the fuckhole woulda been too busy rolling around in his own snot and mythology to turn up.


Did you ever see him interviewed by Kirsty Walk on Newsnight. I like KW normally but this was tragic, ignorant, fawning nonsense that could only have been redeemed / explained by her ending the interview with "can I be your Mummy?". I guess he has that effect on people with a weakness for human reclamation projects ....

I did. Gwag. To be honest, I think he's the most inherently useless 'icon' since Sid Vicious. Did you ever see the film that was broadcast a few years back that was made by some bloke who worshipped him to the point of stalkeryness? Everything about it was desperate and empty. Just made me feel why is this person getting so much for so little when there must be a trillion artists more deserving of a break out there. You know, I think he has a good turn of phrase and his shambolic, jangle isn't the worst thing ever...but, you know, get a grip people. Give your love to someone that actually reciprocates above and beyond licking their own self-myth.
He 'acts' now apparently. Don't look if you want to not scream.
