What with going on holiday, moving job, and generally being a bit frantic, it’s been a while since I’ve done a proper music post. And as I’m off to France this afternoon for my Mum’s annual Bastille Day party (I love the fact that the French celebrate the storming of a prison that was holding 7 prisoners), it’s unlikely I’ll do one in the next few days either.

I therefore wanted to do a very quick post and, no matter what you thought of the man, only one story has mattered in music in the last few weeks. And rather than try to go into the rights and wrongs of it, let’s allow Ian Brown to remind us of Michael Jackson’s genius.
