My latest column for Pitchfork - http://www.pitchforkmedia.com/article/feature/46485-column-poptimist-9 - talking about consensus in the UK music industry and its impact. (and talking about a few other things too). There is a lot of stuff which I didnt have space or time to explore and hopefully I will get the chance to write some of that up here or on FT later today.

EDIT: I did! http://freakytrigger.co.uk/ft/2007/10/long-live-the-uk-music-scene/
