the NME are crap after all

Just after i had praised the NME for making Beth Ditto number 1 in their cool list is seems that they aren't so foward thinking after all... Lily Allen points out some dodgy stuff in her myspace blog: http://blog.myspace.com/lilymusic

Basically they were gonna put Beth Ditto, Lily and a girl from the long blondes on the cover, took the photos then chickened out at the last minute and decided that putting Muse on the cover would sell more copies (gag).
but the most annoying thing was the fact that the NME said:

"This year's Cool List is a testament to the raft of hugely talented women who have taken hold of the music scene in 2006," "From Beth to Lily to Karen O, they've brought new energy to a scene dominated by men. They're also living proof that you can still rock a crowd when you're wearing stilettos."

'WHEN WEARING STILETTOS'?????
what the hell?
if anything shows the NME hasn't changed then that is it... (and kind of stupid seeing as Karen O pretty much only wears trainers)

beth ditto from the gossip

horaay horaay that the NME have finally decided to see the light and put someone who is ACTUALLY cool as number 1 in their cool list!
(and someone who is not a man, not straight and not conventionally 'fit' and anorexic looking... or a drug addict)
and a slap on the back for them that there are way more women in the list this year... maybe the music industry is waking up at last...
