• 'When Alex Turner slagged off Take That, I nearly lost it'
  Sorry about yet another Guardian link, but this has Neil Hannon talking about All Saints, considering the brilliance of Black Coffee. It's too short to offer a quote but consider it. Neil Hannon, All Saints fan. Sadly he doesn't offer an opinion of Studio One, one of the best forgotten pop records of recent years.

Yeah, one of those.
