		<description><![CDATA[How I loathe the Kings of Leon. Apparently, they&#8217;re good, because they sing in their own accents and they&#8217;re the sons of preacher men. Yeah, they&#8217;s good ole&#8217; Southern Boys Who done gone and made them some purdy rock music. Whatever. Even if this irritating, clichéd schtick isn&#8217;t put on, the resultant sound made by [...]

		<description><![CDATA[Lady Gaga&#8217;s been mildly amusing every now and then. I think there was a point in time when I quite liked her, though I was suspicious of the way her early releases and videos seemed to be rather deliberate syntheses of whatever was popular. I wasn&#8217;t convinced, though, and as time went on I found [...]

		<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[Moving on from the shameless soul-flogging of the other day, here&#8217;s another strangely-dimensioned frontman known for unusual stage behaviour, outrageous lyrics and a few great moments of rock and roll rebellion (Brits 96. Earth Song. Take that, Jackson!), but unlike Iggy Pop, Jarvis Cocker, formerly of Pulp, still has a few brain cells left. He&#8217;s [...]

I love the massive walls of feedback, the whispered vocals which are often kind of about sex, or what taking drugs might feel like. Of course no shoegazer, apart from Jason Pearce of Spiritualized, was ever actually brave enough [...]

I listen to things online, I use Last.fm. and spotify, I listen to the radio and I swap mix-tapes with my mates, sometimes of music we&#8217;ve made ourselves. I don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m that unusual, either, amongst music fans. It&#8217;s just not necessary to buy music, any more. Maybe [...]
