They think it's all over for the NME - Page 3

The sensible thing for them to do would be to switch to a monthly format and aim to be a more mainstream Wire/more "current" Mojo, and use the website for keeping people up to date.

As a general thing, every aspect of the music industry needs to please "get" the Internet.

I wish it were over for Rolling Stone.

I mean, it's obviously an act, but it's a horrifically drab one for someone who supposedly knows about performance.

The Kooks are styled! All that straw hat, holey tshirt shit. Not stylish, but styled.

I have a picture of me wearing this hat.

Nobody really needs to be wearing a t shirt with holes in it etc.
Not when you can buy a 3 pack of brand new t's from primark for £3 or whatever. (fyi - I only went to primark for the first time a few weeks ago and walked straight back out. Eurrrgh)
It's all the same. Chavs, indie kids, nu rave, goth. People wear/follow a trend they like. I don't see why the Kooks get picked on about this more than any other indie band. Not that I care about The fucking Kooks. Just sayin' innit?!

N.M.E. has always been poo. Although I admit to buying it occasionally for an interview/article.
