Yeah Yeah Yeah's Album Review

Its awesome!

More euphoric then the downbeat Show Your Bones, and they've discovered the inner synth lord to give Its Blitz a shimmering surface, and making The Yeah Yeah Yeah's the coolest bad around.

G20-The Greatest Show on Earth

What a ruddy hoopla! 20 million pounds its cost to get the leaders of the 20 most powerful nations on earth all together at the Exel Centre in docklands. For what? Acres of column inches devoted to how the WAGs dressed, and what Jamie Oliver cooked for them and some backslapping press conferences. Nice!

What has been achieved then?

Well all the ringmasters agreed straight off that there was a global financial crisis and something had to be done. The solution? Much like many other 'solutions' ,that were wearily becoming accustomed to, it seems to involve pumping trillions of pounds, yen and $$$$ into the global economy. Brilliant were all saved! Protesters go home and take your litter with you. If they had all stayed at home and done this over Skype, then Brown, could have saved 2om and given it to an orphanage. Or Something.

Lets face facts, any policy to come out of this is formulated months is advance and these summits are essentially a PR exercise for beleaguered leaders to get some positive press for when they get home. Essentially its a glorified photocopier sales convention, with slightly less subtlety.
