The current New Year’s issue of NME has an interview with The Thrills. Here’s an excerpt which may be of some interest! ‘With only 24 hours before they board a flight to Dublin, the magic isn’t over. With a twitch of their noses, they (The Thrills) are about to bring to an end one of the longest running feuds in rock history. Impossible? To the most wondrous new band of 2003, there’s no such word. At 4.30pm on Friday November 29 2002, in the Cat and Fiddle bar on Sunset Boulevard, for the first time in a decade, NME sits down for a pint with Morrissey. No, really, we can’t believe it either. Reports of Morrissey’s rampant misanthropy have been grossly exaggerated – today he’s genial and witty, if reserved (or, more likely, NME-wary; he didn’t know we were coming). He records a get-well message for NME’s girlfriend on our dictaphone and even picks up the hefty bar tab. It’s like Ariel Sharon and Yasser Arafat having a game of darts in the Met Bar.’

everything runs its course and all you can do is give it an obituary of what it once did. what does it do now?
a few years ago, i did try checking out the recommends of that and Melody Maker as i admit that i am brainless (as you have suggested) and exist as a blank sheet of paper and need help finding tunes. thanks to them, i have a couple of dust collectors on my shelf. Gay Dad, Symposium, Subcircus, Clinton (that guy from Cornershop's side project) and so forth. The weeklies championed and nobody rightfully clamored.
Maybe their readership bought the records and showed up to the shows for a brief period of time as they probably exist as i do, but when they get burned, there isn't any going back. Especially now that music is a different monster than it was back in the 70's and 80's. People were so into it that they would show up in glam and dyed hair all sorts of shit. So of course they needed a magazine published every week to feed their obsession. Now, its ratty t-shirts and converse shoes. Very non-commital, isn't it? A monthly magazine will do just fine thank you very much.
