Eric Sykes long-awaited autobiography
- and, yes, we're aware that Eric Sykes isn't really a popstar, but we'd rather read one page of his biog than all of Geri Halliwell's...

this re-release bollocks - is it me or does it reflect really badly on bands who claim to strive for something more than commercial success? or even success for the sake of it? Apply Some Pressure by Maximo Park hit 20 in March, and when they re-released in November? 17. It's not quite the "there was such a demand and it was only available on 7" last time..." excuse that's normally wheeled out is it? I suppose anything sounds better than "The record company made us do it" but reeling off such obvious lies must still sting. It certainly hurts fans - "Yeah, we know the people who really like us have already bought it, but now we're aiming for the fifty people who were unconvinced last time." - Elvis
