Girlbands Forever: This shocking history of ’90s female pop is full of gossip, scandals — and crackers | television
💥 Read this must-read post from Culture | The Guardian 📖 📂 Category: Television,Culture,Television & radio,Music,Documentary,Factual TV,Pop and rock,All Saints,Little Mix,Sugababes 📌 Main takeaway: gEarlbands, then. Glittering icons of empowerment or Pygmalion projects for middle-aged men in A&R? Here's a radical idea – both. Two becomes one, my dear. That's the feeling from Girlbands Forever (Saturday, 9:20 p.m., BBC Two), the Louis Theroux-produced documentary that charts the fortunes of 90s bands like All Saints, Eternal, Atomic Kitten, Mis-Teeq and even 2000s stars Little Mix.

this is TRUE. Debsey's book is fantastic and should re-place Dolly Mixture as a significant and an essential part of UK music history. and yes also, she is Queen of everything.

hi! Thanks to all who came to the Nicky Wire @Manics and Valerie Philips talk at Rough Trade East on Monday. It was an enlightening and very funny chat about Valerie's beautiful photography book Little Baby Nothings. Buy it for the jacuzzi shots!

If you hurry to Rough Trade you can pick up an extremely limited ‘what happened next…’ chapter of the Book of the Year in which
@sian-superman.bsky.social
draws some wildly varying reflections out of Will and Lawrence and I exploit the inclusion of footnotes to dispel a few myths
