Yep,, why not, the more variety the better, all tastes catered for. Be very dull if we all liked the same stuff, the only thing I don’t appreciate is people rubbishing other people’s tastes because they don’t share them. Which you didn't do.

Goodbye NME....this Friday sees the last print issue of the NME as it moves to online only. Sad day really, although I do think the quality of their articles dropped once it moved to a free magazine a couple of years ago.

I've been a reader of NME since the early 80s when it used to be a broadsheet and competed against Melody Maker as THE music publication to read. It widened my horizons when it came to discovering new music and flagging up when bands were on tour.

You will be missed!

NME (print edition) RIP!

This was the Stereophonics dig at unfavorable reviews in the music press. Not sure if aimed at NME mind.


"Mr. Writer" a song by Welsh rock band Stereophonics, taken from their third album Just Enough Education to Perform. It was released in March 2001. It reached number 5 on the UK Singles Chart.

The song is track 3 on the album. A live version from Millennium Stadium Cardiff is on the "Vegas Two Times" single. It was written in response to a journalist who had toured with the band and had later given them negative reviews. The song has been attributed as one of the factors that has caused the group's uneasy relationship with the media. In a 2008 interview with The Guardian, lead singer Kelly Jones admitted that "...every journalist thought ["Mr. Writer"] was about them. It took me 10 minutes to write and 10 years to explain."[1] A live acoustic version is track 1 on CD2 on the "Mr. Writer" singles, along with live acoustic versions of "Hurry Up and Wait" and "Don't Let Me Down".
