P452 Teletext 452 Jan12 22:55:20 ——————————————————————————————————————— You'll never guess what happened to me yesterday. I was talking to my little cousin, who's 14, and she said Westlife were better than Radiohead. That may all be well and good until she's let free in a record shop and before you know it we're hearing the same garbage for months. We must take a stand! Lock up the kids and make them listen to their rubbish music for 10 years, then let them out ready to appreciate the good stuff.

Low: finding out it warn't true. Naughty Bunny Westlife are so terrible it makes me want to cry. They can barely sing and they all wear matching clothes — pathetic! Christina's new single shows she's a much better singer than Britney.

Possibly not by showing them the new Ali G video. 3) Set up a World Westlife Fund for boybands who can't get in the charts 'cos they haven't got a famous manager. Happy 2000 ratfans!

Pseudo Led Zip drums, Strawberry Fields mellotron break and the chorus from All Around The World (itself borrowed from Hey Jude). They'vj done it all before and made a better job of it. As for the vid, the most interesting thing is the way Liam pretends to play along on his acoustic guitar while playing entirely different chords and the fact that Bell and Gem already look bored stiff.

Indie music was great in '95 and '96 but it has gone downhill from there. Blur, Oasis, Radiohead, Pulp, Supergrass, etc have all lost it. If you want music with real energy try early punk — The Clash, Sex Pistols and The Ramonjs made brilliant albums.

NOTHING! Let's face it, from the '50s to the '90s, most music in the charts has sucked. So don't go thinking today's music is any worse or better than before, 'cos it aim't. The Great Triple 6 About The Cure: Mixed Up probably is not too indicative of The Cure's style. I'd recommend two singles albums (Standing On A Beach/Staring At The Sea and Galore).
