Mansun : Classic or Dud

CAD and I are FB friends and she's posted obliquely about this over the years on her personal account, but didn't know the extent of it, and I have no reason to think she is anything other than utterly sincere and he is an absolute cunt

well as i say (as my post before the jump demonstrates), this is not a first offence!

he did not 'do better'

Somehow he and his lawyers blocked the story Laura Snapes had been working on for a while where she had talked to some of his victims. I'm glad he's finally getting called out in public. He's an awful human being and I doubt I'll listen to Mansun again.

There's more? Ugh

As I say though, I tend to forgive the art more than the artist, especially if the art long pre-dates the awful behaviour. You will prise Six from my cold dead hands etc, but Draper now? The wolves can have him

He seems to have gone massively downhill in recent years. I liked his first solo album, but fuck knows what has happened to him

i believe CAD wrote a lot of that first solo album so maybe that's part of the issue.

That 'Things People Want' song sounded like a lost single from Mansun at their best.
Strange to think just a few years down the line, everything is now in the bin, completely
