Tony Wilson passes on

Tony Wilson, co-founder of Factory Records and the man who signed Joy Division and the Happy Mondays died today. Many of you probably best remember his story from the excellent movie 24 Hour Party People, but his influence on British modern rock can't be understated. He was receiving treatment for cancer, but died of an unrelated heart attack - he was 57. NME has an obituary for the music legend here and the BBC has tributes here. I think I'll go pop on Unknown Pleasures now.

The Happy Mondays hate pigeons, love you

Now, if only someone could explain to me why so many people think Shaun Ryder was/is such a profoundly good lyricist?

BEZ: Trapped in the UK

Bad news: Bez can't get out of the UK for the Coachilla show this weekend. Good news: Trapped in the Closet is the funniest play of all time.

Happy Mondays alive and claim to have finally recorded an album

In the wake of a rash of the releases by some young'uns out there that have honed in on the drugged trip britpop state that the Happy Mondays trademarked, the prospect of a battle between the influential and the influenced is quite delightful.
