I'm always a bit suspicious of artists' (for want of a better word) views on their own work. If you've had your nose to the grindstone producing something it isn't going to be the same to you - the audience, who come to it fresh and have a million different preconceptions. When I got Colin to autograph my CD cover of the Ideal Copy the first thing he said was: "Was I on this one?" Yet no Wire fan would think for a minute that any of their albums was produced without his input! The The's Soul Mining and Infected were great albums but I remember my heart sinking when I heard Matt being interviewed and he ranted on about how he was the only person doing anything interesting/we're the best band around-type of stuff (doubtless he'd cringe if he heard it now). Then Mind Bomb came out and was, bar the odd track, a disappointment. Of course, those who are too critical (or seek perfection) end up destroying their own work - which isn't much good to anyone, really.

Great minds think alike. This particular snippet reminds me that I need to go to the store this week and pick up the new SACD/CD Hybrid remaster of Dylan's Blonde On Blonde while it is still onsale for sixteen dollars. I bought the remaster of Oh Mercy a month or so ago and the sound quality is the musical equivalent of a fresh slice of key lime pie. Since my original copy of Blonde On Blonde has a scratch on "Visions Of Johanna", this purchase is all the more imperative.

It was like shagging someone with whom can't hold a decent conversation afterwards...nice way to spend an evening but you probably wouldn't want to see them on a regular basis. The Darkness are a quick wank for a troubled United Kingdom that is frustrated at waiting for a new Queen or a new Slade. Do we need a new Freddie so much that some greasy ex-students from Lowestoft will do for now?! I'm not joking, I'm serious. Queen were the Peoples Music. We Are The Champions. One Vision. Flash! AHAAAA! What have we got now? This years Pop Idol...(the fat one or the boring one)?, Beyonce? Fucking Atomic Kitten and fucking Coldplay and even the dreaded Travis are back. There is a massive, Freddie Mercury-shaped hole in British Pop Culture and The Darkness can't plug it with their paltry offerings. Bet I won't be moaning about them this time next year. After the "Ironic" Media rush of "Ho Ho he's wearing a cat suit", "Ho Ho he's got Long Hair" , "Isn't Heavy Metal Funny!" you are left with the simple fact that the The Darkness only have 2 decent pop songs ( including the Xmas single) and the rest are turgid AC/DC-style chuggers. They will not do.
