New single – Disintegrate, very good. Do you think some of these Britpop-era bands are seeing an opportunity to come back into the public eye after the recent Oasis revival?
I suppose it is just as well that NMA never hit the big time. No sentimentality, just a consistent supply of the goods to those who appreciate it.
Suede reformed in 2010 and did a few dates over the next couple of years before putting out a new album, the first of five excellent new albums, they were well ahead of the curve. And they've done as many albums now since they split up. Dare I say it, the new stuff is equally as good as the old stuff and, in many cases, better?
And I say this as a huge Suede fan since they started.
And yes, Disintegrate is a fine song... my fave from the new album is the title track, Antidepressants... check it out.

This makes me laugh. Morrissey has been saying, for decades, that he would never EVER reform the Smiths. He has such a big solo career going, why would he? And yet when the Oasis reunion was announced and made millions in ticket sales then someone, inevitably, offered him and Johnny Marr a huge amount of cash to reform... and Johnny shot him down. Now Mozza's all upset because Johnny doesn't want to reform the Smiths....
What the heck, even if some sort of a reunion had happened it could never ever be
The Smiths again now that Andy Rourke has passed away.. him and Mike Joyce were one of the finest rhyme sections in popular music ever...
