Hate to say I told you so...

In what was supposed to have been my valedictory (posh word for last - I just can't help myself) post I mentioned that I felt the first stirrings of a Twang backlash could be felt in the air. Well, lo and behold, the NME gaves their album something of a mauling, and not a single review i've seen so far goes any higher than mediocre in its praise. Bit rich of the NME to take the band to task for presenting themelves as such yobs though, when the magazine itself has been more than a little complicit in the myth-making process. Anyway with that said, this really is, to quote the Libertines, the last post on the bugle from me. Au revoir!
