On the 27th March 2010 Ian Dury will have been dead for ten years, it’s hard to believe it’s already been a decade since one of the UK’s finest lyricists passed away but for fans there is a positive plethora of Dury related goings-on, erm, going on, of course there is the film (which by all accounts is well worth a butchers), several album releases – including a new greatest hits set reviewed here - and, our particular favourite, a new exhaustively researched book by ex-Kursaal Flyers lyricist, drummer and songwriter Will Birch entitled Ian Dury: The Definitive Biography relating the fascinating tale of a man who burned to be famous and then burned his bridges whilst he was standing on them, if you want to read all about the rise, fall and subsequent rise again of the poet laureate of punk then this is the tome for you, and we have an exclusive excerpt...

Simian Disko
Doubtless like us you are delighted hear that the Gorillaz are back, and their new album Plastic Beach is due out on March 8th. You can also have all manner of fun and games by popping along to the bands new hangout (here) – which is frankly a massive step up from the hideously grimey Kong Studios they used to frequent. New single 'Stylo' has been out for a while now but, as you would expect, there is now a proper toppermost video to go with it, featuring the band, a car chase and a hit man (we think we recognise him, see what you think) and we’ve got a link...
