2 points: Simon Cowell is the man who inflicted Mr Blobby on us - come to think of it, I'd rather vote for Mr B than any politician.2nd - NME's sole online coverage of one of the most awesome gigs of recent times (Stooges Raw Power) is 'Iggy nearly got his arse out - apparently' - shame on you!

thanks for putting up a fraction of my comments NME knob-ends. what I wanted to add was Lydon also recored the first PIL album with Wobble.Leven, etc which is also a classic, making it total of 2 more clasics than Coldplay ever mangaged. Admittedly he's off the mark with Radiohead - not my favourites but at least they try

Seeds singer Sky Saxon dies

Vocalist passes away in Texas hospital

Fri 26 Jun, 2009

Comments (1)

Personally speaking, this means much more to me than Jacko. RIP Sky, you were a true garage-punk before the phrase had been thought of. also, the Glasgow gig in 2004 proved he could still cut it live.on separate note, well done supposedly 'alternative' NME for taking about 2 days to realise he'd died.
