Looked v familar.

Served to remind me why I have barely looked at a music paper other than my daughters' copies of Kerrang since 1992.


God, I usually like him politically, but when he goes on about music I lose the will to live by and large. And I'm not taking advice in what to listen to from someone who still looks like they've always wanted to be in Oasis for the last 15 years or so.


Quite. Almost everyone born before 1990 thinks their era of teenage pop thrills was more important than anyone else's but when you read his stuff it's like he skipped the pubescent rush of young adult rock discovery and went straight to being a middle aged Britpop bore. I think Rhian E Jones is much better on that period. Less invested, more insightful, not so in love with all that faux Mod Lad nonsense.
