Please please ignore the media hype and if you need to get a new CD this week, go for The White Stripes “Get Behind Me Satan”, much more interesting, and slightly less depressing to boot.

I’m all for re-cycling, keep the planet nice for the kids etc (dumped off last weeks newspapers with them today actually, then went and bought some more).

But, this seventies/eighties cack songs being sampled into cack dance songs is really too much, I understand that leaving the vinyl to fester in a second hand shop is equally as bad (potentially), but at least I do not suffer first hand. Latest I hear today (though I am probably behind the times) is Yes having “Owner of a lonely heart” sampled with a umf umf beat. Utter tripe.

I do however look forward to a Pat Benetar “Love Is A Battlefield” thang with naked birds wresting with geezers in custard for the video. Actually, leave out the geezers, it is the new century, lets just have the girls.
