Ramalamalama fa-fa-fashion

Sian Pattenden makes some sport with Bobby Gillespie's sudden reinvention as a fashion model. She is, at least, polite enough to not mention that he's wearing a tie, nor wonder how posing for a fashion company's adverts squares with the whole "Bomb the Pentagon/Swasitka Eyes anti-military industrial complex is bad" Primal Scream worldview.

More suprisingly, Gillespie's co-option is accompanying the opening of two UNIQLO stores in London. We didn't know that that company - which, half a decade ago arrived in the UK with a string of openings followed, about six months laters, with a string of closings - was still going. Mind you, many people might say the same about Primal Scream.
