I've been following the Not So Manic Now debate, and I really don't think that the Brick Supply original is up to much. It's a bit like that Scandinavian Torn. I had the dubious honour of hanging out with Sarah Dubstar in Newcastle during the year when they were making the first album - she shared a flat with some friends of mine in the next street. She was an absolute gem, and it just makes me a bit sad to see what's happened to them now. It's so strange to see someone so totally unsuited to pop stardom thrust into the limelight for everyone to stare at. (I know she chose to do it, so it's her fault.) B&S's refusal to be buggered around by the industry is such a good thing, even if it only teaches a few future stars that you don't have to play by the rules to succeed. Does anyone else know of any pop stars who really would be better off doing something else instead? Celine Dion is one that springs to mind...
