An apology. And the only thing I am going to apologise for: I should not have used the words "insipid cack". This was wrong a) because it wasn't a considered response b) because it is the sort of dismissive remark that I'd probably find/have found equally annoying when people use such easy words in dismissing a band I love; Oasis. Yes, that one.
