Everyone's been really kind and positive about it--er, apart from MOJO magazine, who hated it. Fukkem. I'd do it slightly differently if I had the chance, now, but overall I think it's a good--if slightly laborious--read. can you tell me why no one has ever made a book on the Pixies? I find it odd that this much loved band doesn't have one. I don't know why one hasn't been written, but I think it would be a good idea, especially if they kinda extended it to cover "related" bands like The Breeders and Belly. (Didja know that NME readers voted "Doolittle" as their second favorite record, EVER? Amazing...) I'm afraid I'm not the man for the job, though. I'm already deep into my next book, "Chasing Neon Halos", and have started outlining a fairly straightforward Velvets biography, titled "All the Angels Screamed."

F. Smith" Subject: seven-seas Review: T In The Park 2003, Main Stage http://www.nme.com/news/105577.htm Review: T In The Park 2003, Main Stage Gwynnie's round the back, C.M has done his yoga, the rest of the band may have put on a little weight, but the mobile phones are aloft as 'Clocks' sums up a perfect near-end to a near-perfect festival. Oasis are dissed in a re-jigged 'Songbird' ("They used to like me but they don't now"), and Ian McCulloch joins in for second encore 'Lips Like Sugar'. They, once again, walked it. The LA sun might have gone to Tim Burgess's head, what with his insistence of a bodyguard in the NME signing tent. And - by looks of his freshly dyed barnet - - his hair too. But the hits keep on a-coming. 'One To Another', 'Can't Get Out Of Bed', 'North Country Boy'. Who else could do it? From accidental chartstormer 'Buck Rogers' to crowd-pleaser 'Find The Feeling', >Feeder now regularly touch a nerve that the pre 'Comfort In Sound' material never really saw them touch. Plus, more importantly, Grant Nicholas has had his hair cut, meaning Feeder sound remains neatly trimmed all round. 'The Sun Hits The Sky' strikes a just the right chord at the right time, but it's the sticker on Mikey's bass that reads "explosive" that rings the most truth. "We haven't played this song for a while," announces Gaz, launching into a blinding (but arsed-up) rendition of 'Alright'. Alright? Today, Supergrass rule. The Coral's magic moment comes with 'Dreaming Of You', epic in its simplicity and tendency to force people who don't even know the words to sing along. Sugababes? Well, they do that new one that samples that Sting one. And in the basking Sunday sunshine with the lager flowing, there's more than a twitch down the pants of half of the audience (that's the males). But musically? Scouser-heckles aside, they are actually pretty good. Fun, sexy, and bouncing. Even NME.COM has urges at a festival, you know. With his smart blue blazer, tight jeans and sunglasses, he might look like your Dad out for an afternoon stroll. But as 'Nothing Lasts Forever' morphs into 'Walk On The Wild Side', there's something timeless about The Bunnymen's music, even if no one other than Chris Martin admits to caring. Nice teeth, too. Leopard skin Lycra, poodle perms, legs akimbo, it can only be The Darkness. Opinion as to whether they herald the future of rock and roll, or the comeback of Def Leppard is still divided. But the crowd (here in their droves already) are smiling, as are the band. So perhaps they will have the last laugh after all.

Okay.. This has been winding me up for a week now, and I'm surprised noone from the UK hasn't already pointed this out, but it may just be a reflection of just how sad my life really is.. The BBC are promoting their Proms season with lots of lush adverts, and their logo appears to be exactly the same as the Bunnygod but without the ears.... Other than that.. it's very similar http://www.bbc.co.uk/proms/ See for yourself.. Am I really going mad, is there any hope for me.. Do I need to go out more ???
