The lineup for the festival is starting to look pretty impressive. But I can't see why Joe Jean and the ridiculously long name are getting so much attention at the moment. I don't think i know a single person who either knows who they are or actually likes them and i was unlucky enough to see them support Babyshambles and i think they are a band that represents everything that is wrong with the turgid get-rich-and-famous-quick music scene we now have thanks to myspace.
