All Press Is Good Press?

Sometimes you go through a week in the office with nothing much happening: you process the inbox; fight with the vending machine; ogle the new girl or have a little sleep in the toilet at lunchtime.

Occasionally, things happen that punctuate the week so vividly that you'll always remember where you were. I'll never forget where I was when I opened this week's copy of NME and read the already legendary description of Fighting With Wire as 'an absolute train wreck of unrivaled shite'.

Speaking to a unruffled COD this morning the only thing he would offer us by way of rebuke was 'at least they got the bit in about fingering Madonna'.

Madonna's office have as yet declined to comment.
