5 Reasons To Be Cheerful

Another day, another legacy ritually dephiled, this time in the centre of attention stand John 'Country Life Butter' Lydon's post-punk pioneers Public Image Ltd minus classic members Keith Levene and Jah Wobble on guitar and bass. Nothing much to add to this one bar the further shame it places on Lydon over this perhaps forgotten incident. Instead I've composed a list of reasons to remain blissfully cheerful this Monday evening in spite of any evidence to the contrary.

1. Ignore The Ignorant is out today

3 Jarmen + 1 Marr-man = 1 great record regardless of basic numeracy

2. Mercury Music Prize announced on Tuesday

Never predictable, always a sure-fire source of pub banter.

3. Songs That Remind Me Of You - Annie

An artist endorsed by both Pitchfork and Popjustice?!? Somewhere in a parallel universe, The Twang are still terrible.


4. The Spotify app got approved for the iPhone

Pay £10 a month for an unlimited library of portable music plus none of those pesky adverts. Bargain no?

5. The UK can once again watch music videos on Youtube

An undisclosed lump sum payment backdated to January 2009 and lasting until 2012 means that 60000 hard working artists get a well deserved payday.
