God I miss The Face. What a massive hole it left behind in the UK cultural landscape.
It was so fucking obvious Emap, a big money-focussed corporate entity with absolutely no idea of genuine urban youth culture, would fuck it up and fold it down within a heartbeat of owning it.
Bring Back Wagadon.

Meeklo - Most people realise that behind the hype, he was a fuckwit, he could hardly play, he was merely...SkyPoo
- ... the pretty boy, installed by McClaren to boost the sex appeal.SkyPoo
- it was never about the music..
Meeklo - Punk as a movement was viable for a matter of a year only before it was capitalisedSkyPoo
