no way ,he was too good to be discarded...........bet he is just as poppular as shayne,,,,,lets watch this space.Romps said:oh well Andy back to the bins!! Wonder how many people will give him a christmas tip!!!
cant stand shows like the x factor - fuelling yet more corporate blandness into the charts and stopping decent new music getting radio air-play.
pop music IS dead
pop music IS dead
thats the problem with pop music; whenever something new and pure and good comes through, the industry keeps reproducing it until it is bland, tasteless turd....thus creating shows like this to find the next wannabe turd
Malcolm McClaren just needed an energetic medium to sell clothes.
He didnt care about the music or what it stood for.
As is the story of 99.9999999% of the 'suits' in music.
Of course there is always the odd Tony Wilson bobbing around somewhere...

never 'owned' a band Tony Wilson
never held a contract to a band Tony Wilson
constantly looking for new talent Tony Wilson
discovered Joy Division (& New Order obviously) and Happy Mondays!
in my opinion the industry could do with a lot more Tony Wilsons!!

actualy the label you're talking of, Factory records, all the money made from it went straight into his Manchester nightclub where he lost a lot of money due to no one buying drinks (because of the escalating drug scene at the time) and forking out for big name DJs etc.
i know what you mean though he is no way straight but he does run his label for a lot of the right reasons, looking for great new bands in unthinkable places instead of owning a conveyor belt running off thousands of Kylies.....shudder shudder
ah the Hacienda - couldnt remember the name; came up with some rather silly ones haha.
i know it was there a while before the whole Madchester thing, just saying that he lost a lot of money in the place.
i just admire the guy for finding one of my favourite bands (Joy Division) and for the whole ideaology of Factory records, "the artist owns all their music and publishing rights and everyone else can f**k off" in his own blood! bonkers!
