Glasvegas juggernaut

So this is the band every label in the land is falling over themselves to wine and dine and sign. Glasvegas
Daddy's Gone is a pretty good single and because every band is trying to sound like George Formby at the moment its actually quite refreshing. Still, is anybody sure about the name?

Jingle Bells, Batman Smells

As a public service broadcaster BBC Radio One is finally doing a public service and throwing its weight behind Malcolm Middleton's quest for Christmas number 1.

Blitheful Malcolm's brilliantly festive 'We're All Gonna Die' will be released on December 17th and William Hill has already reduced the odds from the original no hoper of 1000/1 to a hot 12/1.

As if contributing to the battle against another year of an X Factor yawnfest christmas number one wasn't enough, the 7" comes with artwork by David Shrigley! yeah!
You can watch the Christmas session for Colin Murray's show on the Radio One website or head to www.wereallgoingtodie.co.uk for details and a listen.

If nothing else the former Arab Strab man and his team have proved that with a little clever marketing its still possible to compete with the megabucks and thats enough to give us all a bit of hope (before we all die alone, all alone).
