Fergie pulled a rabit of a rabbit out of his hat this morning when he informed the press that Vidic was back intraining and he wouldn't be adverse to playing him next Wednesday's meaningless last champions league group game at home to Cluj. I can see why that particular game would appeal, it will involve a few youngsters, and should prove a reasonably comfortable game for him to try and begin to work himself to match fitness.
Nevertheless after seemingly already making one comeback ahead of schedule this season it seems a bit of a risk. Obviously having a fit Vidic for the rest of the season would be a big bonus for the team, though it's ironic that we seem to have got all our centre backs to fitness at the same time. Even more ironic as Fergie said, now we have all our centre back fit we've got two of our wingers out.
Of course it remains to be seen how Vidic fares in his latest comeback as he has missed an awful lot of football over the last two seasons. If he is still on the lookout for one last big payday in pastures new, you'd think he would have needs to show any prospective suitors his has still got it in him at the top level. I still wouldn't be surprised to see Vidic in joining Ferdinand in leaving the club in the summer.
Music
Band of horses - Mirage rock: I've never really got why some critics seem to see this group as a kind of country/folk rock act, when to me see a fairly basic indie group. A good one yes, but miles away from some of the groups they have been likened to.
Dan Deacon - America: I was new to his music, and you never really know what to expect when someone's classed as indie/electronica, sometimes it can be twee crap. But it's pretty good, a real grower, experimental but leaning to a radio friendlier experimental.
Jim Noir - Jimmy's show: I've been a bit of a fan of the Mancunian one man band since his appearance on the scene, but his career doesn't seem to have taken off. So whilst it's another hit for me, being no radical departure in sound, he'll still be waiting for take off.
Ondatropica - Ondatropica: This collaboration between Quantic and Columbia's finest is superb, the various genres of music sit well together, the latin groove's link it all together.
The xx - xx: I've been aware of this UK indie/electro/pop since their debut album scooped the Mercury but i've finally listened to it, ironically after reading reviews of their latest album. It's very good, the influences seem very obviously UK 80's electro/pop to me, New order, The Cure, et al. But the songs are strong and they don't sound like mere revisionists.
Yeasayer - Fragrant world: This is a more radio friendly slice of electro pop, and works better than the last album to my ears, more dance floor than The xx.
