		<description><![CDATA[Everyone knows who U2 are, right? Ageing stadium rockers, miniscule singer with a giant ego, god-botherers, sometimes a bit too keen on sticking their noses in where they don&#8217;t belong, more like a giant, world-straddling brand than a rock group? With Or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday, Live Aid, Mullets, good old Oirish boys who [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Well, the old days are certainly ending with a vengeance. Supergrass, the crazy teenage wild things of that gorgeous Golden summer of Britpop, 15 years ago, have split up. It&#8217;s fairly fresh news- so fresh that at the time I post this, the split isn&#8217;t even mentioned on their website, and, well, it&#8217;s not entirely [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Another week, another pop culture moment that makes you feel old. This week, it&#8217;s been the sad news that Malcolm Mclaren, the manager of the Sex Pistols, has lost his fight with cancer at the age of 64. My god, Malcolm Mclaren was 64? My first thought on reading that was surely that can&#8217;t be [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Kele Okereke, of Bloc Party, has gone solo, releasing a new album, &#8216;The Boxer&#8217; on the 21st of June. He&#8217;s also saying he wants to &#8216;go dance,&#8217; which has been kind of apparent since they released &#8216;Flux&#8217; in 2007 but there you are. What with the guitarist, Russell Lissack, releasing a new album with his [...]

Oh, the power. So, anyway, Stonehenge. I&#8217;m talking about the mystic home of the I&#8217;m talking about the mystic home of the druids, people. The giant [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Ah, the nineties, eh? A golden age, of crusties, raves, dogs and strings and the crumbling remains of a decrepit government desparately clinging on to power. A recession based upon the folly of the bankers, and a disenfranchised youth looking for something to believe in, something about modern society to care about. Nothing like today, [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So the moment finally arrives. Throngs gather. The clamour of nations grows silent. And across the land all music-loving folk wait. But unfortunately, they&#8217;ll have to wait for a new Radiohead album a little bit longer. In the mean time, here&#8217;s my top album of the Noughties. Once again, it&#8217;s a choice which I&#8217;m sure [...]

		<description><![CDATA[So onwards we trot, merrily chuntering along into the cold and the snow. Nippy out, eh? Never mind, there&#8217;s always number two of my lists of the best albums of the Noughties. I should say that most people probably won&#8217;t agree with this choice. It might be said I&#8217;m being wilfully obscurist, or trying to [...]

Ice covered everything, and even the trees themselves withered and died, leaving nought but a basted and empty wilderness, cold, barren and dead. Still, never mind, eh? Chin up. Stop snivelling, [...]

In that dream I sat chained to a laptop, which was also a window to a giant forest made of hessian and steel wool, full of creatures, pitiful creatures, for they were weak and had no opinions. They longed to be told what to think, and so they called [...]
