We're all so different, as musicians, as musicians fans, which is totally brilliant. One guy likes something, the other guy doesn't, it's all good.
The question is.... is the TV show any good as a product? For me, Yes it is. In the absence of a better option I think Later is an essential product. If it was shut down, within 6 months folk would be demanding it back, just like with the Tube. Rose tinted specs fully engaged of course. These shows can always be better, but when there's nothing else....
The show concept is as good as ever, but I wonder if it just needs a reboot, or maybe the music industry is so *****d that there's not much worth seeing... or maybe I'm a bitter old man.
One of the above
I'm desperate, and I think the industry is desperate, for the new punk to come along and tear it all to shreds and start over, because I for one am bored with it all.
I spent the weekend playing bass to Groove Armada records... in the absence of anything more inspiring.
I wish I was Michael League.
