Manson prepares new album

It's such a tantalising prospect that we might see a solo album from Shirley Manson next year that even mutterings of Billy Corgan and Jack White being involved in some role can't put us off. Even if it does mean the world's two most self-regarding pop people are involved. Okay, most self-regarding after Moby.

Paul Buchanan from Blue Nile is going to be bringing some more low-key talent to the mix.
