UK pop roundup:
EMI have recently released a compilation of hit singles from a group of
highly acclaimed 1960s throwbacks. But enough about the Blur best-of;
there is also a compilation of The Beatles' chart-toppers titled, simply, '1'.
(Kids: The Beatles were sort of the Oasis of their time or something.)
Speaking of Oasis, their frontman has knocked up another pop starlet;
this time Nicole Appleton of Spice-alike band All Saints (not to be confused
with Mel Appleby of Mel & Kim). Appleton says that she and the
lager-loutish Liam Gallagher "get on really well". Didn't the previous one
say something similar?
