I think the Moyles piece was the lowlight, though - the interviewer vaguely objects to his rampant, distinctively hateful sexism, but reasons that's probably because of her age and that "Moyles is undeniably very good at what he does" - she also thinks that him calling Faria Alam 'Fire Alarm' "shouldn't be funny but somehow it is". It's a nice summation of Guardian/Observer politics, really - be 'liberal', but never be willing to back that up in any meaningful way whatsoever.
The thing is, there's this article about Nazi rock in there as well, and I was going to say, how is Moyles any better, why don't they condemn him as well? - and then I realised there's very little condemnation in the piece about Nazi rock. It's the kind of Vice-magazine-esque 'interest' piece that really just serves to promote this music - well done Observer!
But y'know, once you've given the Kaiser Chiefs the time of day, and hailed their Daily Mail politics as ground-breaking social comment, it's a slippery slope, innit. |
