What we need at the moment is news to make us LESS depressed, not this.

whatawasteoftime - you make me depressed. The Lightning Seeds are a happy band - andb Ian Broudie is responsible for some of the most perfect pop (and you know good pop rocks) from the past 2 decades, and I don't just mean his own. Listen to Tilt (and I don't mean scott Walker, at this point anyhow) - it is a brilliant album. The return of Broudie to our ears, and to song writing, is great news, and I for one am happy to end the week on such a high.
