A mummy in a suit
New Guardian column about the way we (meaning the Brits - I don’t know about how things stand in America) relate to pre-rock pop music, and reality TV’s radical rewriting of pop history. I think this is one of my better pieces for them!
There’s a new Poptimist out tomorrow too - I am going to have a very busy day, I suspect (my last at my current job) so may not be able to give it the customary hype.
This is really good.
