The review of Primal Scream's (incidentally, even their name is steeped in troglodyte apprehensions about 60s 'counter-culture') last album in the Wire pointed out that, while they've never been at the cutting edge of pop, they're always a good yardstick of the current alt-guitar zeitgeist. They are, in fact, Madonna for white boys.

Gillespie has none of that. He's the quintessential fan-boy-bore and should be lumped in with the likes of similarly earnest types like Weller ... who in a recent interview talked about playing Eton Rifles again because 'the country needed it'. Yeah Paul, just like we needed another outbreak of foot and mouth! Today 12:29 PM

I like reading Noel Gallagher interviews, and it's a shame that a lot of 'interesting' musicians simply aren't as entertaining as a gobshite like Gallagher. Weller and Gillespie can fuck off mind you.
