Mark Ronson told New york mag he started subscribing to new York Magazine at the age of six and was devastated when he made the top of New Musical Express Uncool list after the release of Version. Thus his current Record Collection.
Lessee here. In 1982, Nick Logan was off to publish The Face, Neil Spencer was on the verge of getting canned, IPC was telling em to quit the political shit and the golden age of NME -when it was vastly cooler than the band they wrote about -from about 1976, was drawing to an end.
And Mark was six years old.
So what the fuck he cares what the middling magazine thinks one way or the other is a complete bafflement to me. And if that is his excuse for the dreadful newbie, ignore the fucks and do Versions II.
PS: We will tell you what’s cool and what isn’t. Not them.
