I've been cringing at this news story all day.
So arguably the creators of one of the (in my opinion and others)one of greatest albums of all time , the Stone Roses,decide to put there differences behind them and reform. At breakfast time we were treated to Turnbull talking about "madchester"
the guests to discuss were the music critic from the Times (wow awesome ..not) and some presenter from Radio 6 .
Later we were treated to Lizo Mzimba
running the story somehow the BBc thinks it can put the Stone Roses in the same basket as the reformed Steps 
STEPS! Good grief.
Thing is if the BBc were actually serious about reporting on non mainstream / manufactured bands there is plenty to report on. However the BBc doesn't seem to have the slightest interest in giving any air time to music not since they assassinated the Old Grey Whistle test anyway.
Might not seem a big deal but this sort of really gets my hackles up. I'm now into year 35 of seeing live music I even used to DJ in a rock club once upon a time. The market for the music I listen to is still massive but gets virtually zero coverage on BBc
