ps almost like simon and garfunkel getting back together or if lennon and mc cartney decided to do a one off or even moz and marr... i dunno stick to your guns i say!

Yeah, I guess if I was overseas with the NME staring at me all day I might have the same opinion. Although I seemed to get the impression that Head Music had some success and that the last McAlmont and Butler cd, I've heard from several sources, was musically brilliant. I don't know, I don't really care about the sales/public eye thing much, there are too many bands I love and have loved whom have all been word of mouth. I mean, even when Suede was getting huge favorable amounts of press in those early days, they were also getting slagged off just as much, and even more-so when Blur finally got their hit record and when Oasis(a nice publically accepted act, not some fringe-haired boy singing about the tease of bisexuality) entered the scene -- it's all really a bunch of crap compared to the music being made.

For now I'm gonna hold off on the cynicsm, I'm just too curious to see what has been coming of it... and don't tell me that if Morrissey and Marr got back together you wouldn't go out and buy the album? It's too tempting. And sometimes the only reason the hype is there might slightly be because it's a big deal to some people. I know it is for some suede fans, as 10 years later people still bring up the Richard vs. Bernard conversation about every week(and this was before the 'pint & curry' deal).

Funny... until B&B reunited I had thought my fandomship was dwindling, now I'm all aggro. and excited .... and posting to boards like this one? On all accounts, who'd-a thunk it?

... LOL... OH Honey, and I can't even begin to comment on the 'crack-habit' front!!! Only that apparently he officially quit before ANM - am I the only one who's wondered if that made a difference? ~A`
