And so the time has come to bring this blog to an end. With the GCSE exam papers now in the possession of whichever desperate souls are marking them, it's time for a bit of what our American pals would call closure.
Mention of closure reminds me to mention that Pulp magazine, launched a couple of months ago, limped to a mere two editions before the publishers pulled the plug and called it a day, thus proving that launching a successful music magazine is pretty tough even when you've got a major TV show to spin-off from.
One of the other obsessions of this blog has been the NME's positioning of The Twang as the anointed heirs to Oasis' Yob Rocks in Chief mantle. Although there's another fawning live review in the current NME, I sense that the storm clouds of a backlash are already gathering and that the Twang could well be over by the end of the summer.
I hope this blog proved useful and even mildly entertaining in parts, indeed I like to think that the spirit of Smash Hits circa 1987 lived on a for a brief moment in these pages. Until we meet again...
