David Hepworth, Mark Ellen and chums cast an occasionally jaundiced eye over the goings-on in the worlds of music and entertainment.

Which is the most two-faced world – movies, music or daytime TV?
byMark Ellen, David Hepworth and Alex Gold

Fond and appraising enquiry of recent events, this week featuring …

 

… we now feel we have to approve of artists/musicians/writers before we can say we like what they do. When did all this start?

 

… a new Stackwaddy game – Hari-Krishna Stomp Wagon? Starchelle Chicago Bear? Flaming Lips song title or exotically named winner of Crufts’ Best In Show?

 … in defence of men with bad reputations eg Evelyn Waugh, Martin Amis, John Lennon …

 

… re-pressed versions of albums that were 70p in the late ‘60s now sell for £29.99. What fresh madness is this?

 

… Liam Gallagher’s son Lennon and Paul Weller’s daughter Dylan ‘toast the 20th anniversary of an iconic Mulberry bag’: an ‘It’s like punk never happened’ special!

 

.. how the Silicon Valley TV series tells the truth.

 

… Noel Gallagher’s magnificent use of the word ‘disingenuous’ (possibly to wrong-foot and baffle his brother). And why he wrote Acquiesce.

 

… the now comically over-the-top Cannes standing ovations and what’s behind them.

 

… and the weaselly worlds of film and daytime telly.
