People keep on telling me to set-up on MySpace. However, being the lowest of the low-tec boys, the prospect of having to try to get my head around that particular corner of cyberspace makes me nervous, especially as Billy Bragg has issues with it.

My only real interaction with MySpace has been listening to some of the fantastic streaming that happens on it. Whilst I have not got round to ordering to it on itunes, I have visited /jarvspace a fair few times to listen to Running The World. This is the best slice of Cocker since he spluttered out the heartbreaking Everyone Loves The Underdog a few years back. The new song is witty and angry as hell. Instead of just making pithy comments about the working class, this time he actually looks at the philosophies of power structures exploiting them. It is spot on – ‘cunts are still running the world’.
