IT'S been a sad week for lovers of the music festival, with Glastonbury organisers trying desperately to think of reasons why the expected rush to register for tickets hasn't happened (and no, it's not Jay-Z's fault) while Leeds and Reading have sold out despite having the least inspiring line-up since, well, Keane last year at the Isle Of Wight.
MICK Jagger's advice that the only way for a music hopeful to make it big is to be "a brilliant musician, very good looking and a brilliant performer," is, of course, great news for Bolton bands, who tick all of the above boxes.
THIS week Kat listened to... Bob Dylan's Lay, Lady, Lay, about 80 times on repeat just for that line, His clothes are dirty but his hands are clean'. Isn't it funny how sometimes one song just gets you?
She read... Lavinia Greenlaw's The Importance Of Music To Girls. Its reawakened a love for the music of my childhood - yes, I was a Tiffany fan.
She watched... Nothing, actually. I don't think I've paid any attention to a television all week. With the Zimbabwe elections happening, I ve had my nose buried in a newspaper.
QUOTE of the week comes from everyone's favourite grumpster, Morrissey, who described his excitement at his upcoming headline slot at the Wireless festival by saying he intended to "take Hyde Park like a flea inhabits a dog."
