The government wants pupils singing a tasteful little song called 'Strong Britain, Great Britain', which is basically 'Tomorrow Belongs to Me' with the production values of 'There's No-one Quite Like Grandma.' This is my counter-suggestion.

No... HMHB and SM are both brilliant in their own way. Both have great lyrics, humour, integrity darkness and light. I saw HMHB yesterday at Leamington and definitely see a comparison. HMHB were brilliant and so we're the fans .. as is the case with SM. There's room for both. SM's collaboration with Coldwar Steve too...a visual artist with a similar aesthetic ( at risk of sounding like an art wanker). And I don't think SM take themselves any more seriously either. Not on them if other people do.

Favourite HMHB song since the first time I heard John Peel play I Hate Nerys Hughes back in 1986. Seen them play Live on numerous times over the last 30 years. Massively underated.

Oh fuck, that takes me back. The music industry entered an irreparable downhill spiral on the day Peel died. Lamacq fights a brave fight and Iggy is still in our corner, but hard times are here to stay.
