Maybe a bit over the top, there was still plenty of good stuff that came out.I think it's more a case that most of the hyped bands have been very average. I don't go to gigs much any more but from what i saw of the summer festivals that were covered on th old goggle box, not too many of these bands cut the mustard live. Thats yet another reason why the arctic monkeys blow them all away. And it's great to have Radiohead back.

Immigration is good for country: report, on balance it probably is. The NHS wouldn't work without it, that's for sure. Though it's not such good news for unskilled workers, who have to compete for jobs with people willing to work any hours for low low pay.
