In all fairness, she has apologised for that one, so I don't think she's gone into full O'Neill territory. Although until reading that article, I was unaware of the Peterson/Mumford and Sons connection, which is a whole other realm of horrors.

Sleeper 'bought' the name for their band off a guy I know. They had a melodic punk band in Staten Island, New York who had released things for a few years up to that point. They got a silly amount of money to ditch the name, with which they bought a nice van and top notch equipment with.

Oh yes.
This is less surprising and disappointing though - they are solid tory scum.

That reminds me, does anyone know if there's a good word for the specific kind of schadenfreude-related feeling you get when someone you would expect to be shit does something shit and confirms your prejudices? Or indeed for its opposite, the kind of confusion and slight dismay you would feel if Mumford and Sons actually turned out to be really sound?

I definitely felt that when Ed Sheeran turned out to have a massive rental property portfolio. I'd been really worried that he might actually be a decent human being.

Actually...it really was
Jersey Beat | John Lisa interview
Q: I have this memory of driving around with you and your mentioning that an English band by the same name (Sleeper) contacting you with a sort of “Cease and Desist” order. Can you tell me more about how they reached out to you and how the name change to Serpico came about?
'Their record label legal department was rude. Somehow they tracked me down and called me and told me to stop using the name Sleeper because they had an album coming out on BMG. We already had an album out on a German label, a bunch of 7"s and were on compilations and so I got a lawyer and ordered THEM to cease and desist. [Lisa had wisely trademarked the name in New York state.] They had already manufactured their album and so legally, they were fucked because they were so arrogant. So, they had to buy the name off of us. This was in 1993. The rest is history. "
And was for 125 big ones too, apparently!

I was just making a joke based on "Sale of the Century" being one of only two Sleeper songs I can remember, tbh.Actually...it really was

(if anyone can think of a joke based on "Inbetweener", be my guest)
speaking of Tim Gane, some friends of mine got him to do a show for their internet radio station - it's real good. Reckon you'll dig this butchersapron

Fucking Canary. Someone I used to be good friends with is high up in the publication, used to be an anarchist and a sound bloke. Fuck knows how they ended up working on that piece of shit.
