Well, having listened to some debate on telly about this wretched war, thus getting fairly depressed and hot under the collar, I decided the only thing to do was put Saint Etienne's singles compilation (Too Young To Die) on the stereo and read one of Nancy Banks-Smith's telly reviews. May sound a little out of whack, but hey, it does the trick for me: watch the grin spread across my face!
Short extract from Nancy's piece below, link to the whole thing below that, enjoy it, dear people Much Joni, Azeem in London NP St Etienne - Nothing Can Stop Us << Only Coronation Street (ITV1) among the soaps acknowledged the present unpleasantness, popping it into the pudding like a current currant. Watch out for Shelley, the barmaid at the Rovers, quavering to her betrothed, Peter Barlow: "I've been thinking about this business with Iraq. What if you were called up or something?" Peter, who is upholding the finest traditions of the Royal Navy by promising to marry two women simultaneously, looked, I thought, a little wistful at the prospect of this escape clause. Like a man who finds a file in a wedding cake. >> http://www.guardian.co.uk/guardianweekly/story/0,12674,922396,00.html
