it's possible i may have to comment properly on this later but the puff piece for this on the culture show last night was APPALLING AND WRONG IN EVERY WAY. the only people who came out well from it were the bloke from TOTP who said "but most of them sing live and mime playing, what are you doing ot do them EH? EH?" and, ridiculously, OASIS for their unswerving dedication to MIMING whenever they are on totp.
Out of interest what was the last useful thing the Musicians Union did? I guess they must do a lot of good grass roots stuff with eg bands on cruise ships getting shafted, but their public presence seems invariably busybodyish.
that r0ck1sm examined: what if a resplendent prancing mimey vanilli puts on a better all-round SHOW-qua-PERFORMANCE than some somnolent 10th-gen xerox "anti-spectacle" shoegazer? watching orchestras is actually QUITE BORING -- the only variation is when some back-row musician steps out of dutiful role
