From today's Guardian (Mar. 31):
'Life of grime' by Garry Mulholland

This is a small section from an article promoting Black Box Recorder's new CD The Facts Of Life.

BBR's singer is Luke Haines formerly from the Auteurs.

"The two most common comparisons BBR get are to grumpy England-obsessed has-been (!) Morrissey and legendary French maestro Serge Gainsbourg. Discuss.
Luke: "Ha!!! Morrissey? I saw him recently, and he was dreadful. But I quite like the new Fat Morrissey look".

Very cheeky me thinks.

I happened to notice that the new Braid (a now-defunct indie/emo rock band) album, Movie Music Vol. 2, contained covers of "This Charming Man" and "There is A Light..." I thought this was pretty interesting, if not too significant.
