I feel a cheese and culture debate coming on. Paul puts his finger on the problem. There is just no decent mixture of music being played. Even MTV only plays mainstream stuff. The next time you are in the Plug, have a peek at MTV or go through the FM dial on your radio and you'll see what he means.
Marketing is the problem.
But today parents approve of the music their children listen to. For God's sake, Richard Ashcroft and Robbie Williams are seen as risky, that tells you something. His rant over, I asked Paul if he had any advice for aspiring music journalists. Don't take no for an answer. And that was that.
