An article from the Guardian pointing out that the death of the A&R man has been slightly exaggerated (and also, you're not going to get rich from MySpace). Though it is curious that they go to all the trouble of pointing out why Lily Allen isn't exactly an internet phenomenon, and yet they don't mention that she's the daughter of Keith Allen. You would have thought that would have merited at least a sentence or two.

In other news, I would like to be feeling better now. It's just getting silly at this point.

EDIT: More from Simon Sweeping The Nation! Not sure about The Arcade Fire reference though - surely part of the MySpace angle on the Arctic Monkeys was wrapped around their single / album success. While The Arcade Fire certainly had more success than fellow blog stars like M.I.A. and Annie, they aren't quite in the Monkeys' league. At least not in the UK anyway. If they'd gone straight in at number one, I imagine the broadsheets would have turned a little more attention their way…
