The Beautiful South split up
After 19 years together, my favourite band, The Beautiful South, have split up today. While this is a shame and I will miss them releasing their occasional bizarre albums, I think their best years have been and gone. They will be remembered by me at least as a great British band, who were - at their finest - regardless of genre or style, one of the most political bands of the 1990s.
I look forward to seeing what Paul Heaton and co will produce in the future (after all, the Beautiful South first formed from the Housemartins split).
Trying to think of a witty or otherwise non-pretentious lyric I can quote here is going to be very difficult. So I wont bother. If you haven’t listend to the South yet though, buy Carry On Up The Charts. 1/7 households have ;)!

V entertaining. Thought Jade was a sacrificial lamb to raise the profile of a desperate excuse for entertainment.
