Do yourself a favour and get over to myspace, ignoring any preconceived notions you may have and download the two songs available on the Gracie page. It's damn good music, but you won't need me to tell you that.

You still here?

BBC2: The nice lady introduces a programme that promises to explore the issue of, and I quote: "How the digital revolution will change the way we buy music forever."

Wow. As if, a few years down the line (presumably when mankind is once again tilling the fields in some post-cataclismic, agrarian era, doubtless the result of post-war greed etc.) people are going to decide to go back to buying records, or gathering around the wireless, or perhaps performing in the village square. Things change: it's called progress, people. And this programme is adding nothing to the debate.

How wonderfully insightful: They've moved on, with depressing inevitability, to the favoured journalistic over-simplification of the Arctic Monkeys and Myspace. Of which more will follow later.
