Today is the T-Day, isn't it?Everybody at 7.30 at home in front of the box, as in the old times.To be honest, in our house that normally happens every week,we live in 1989 permanently. Will Struan be wearing silver trousers? Will Isobel be welcomed on Saturday morning by tabloids' harassment concerning her fondness of furs?We should have made organised bets on which colours will be favoured in such 'magna ocasion',as with royal weddings (before 1989). For the ones fluent in Spanish (Mad*Starry*People,for instance) or anyone patient/obsessed enough to be translating with Babel, Spanish daily 'El Pais', in its Friday guide called 'El Pais de las Tentaciones'opens with an interview with our Media Man,that is, Richard.The web address is : http://www.tentaciones.elpais.es/T/D/20000602 Some interesting quotes from the article:'Are they just another gang of embittered self-sufficient ones,so abundant in Indieworld?Not really.But if we pay attention to the British musical press,those don't get worse than these'.Richard highlights that 'collectivity' is the key word in the band,that's why they would feel closer to Sly and the Family Stone than to the Smiths.If you want to connect this with The Guardian's review worries on songs not written by Murdoch, I am afraid that is not going to change in short-term.It is political this time, musical koljos.Do The Bluetones know what collectivization means?
