30 years ago this week was a fairly un-Britpop issue for the NME.

Have you ever wondered why Suede have to be called The London Suede for anything in the USA?

Then wonder no more, for the NME had the answer 30 years ago this week…

(She’s still going strong in the USA I believe).

30 years ago this week Pulp played Newcastle and their hometown of Sheffield.

Who went to either of these nights?

The art of good parenting is to let your children get bored, too many parents spend hours trying to find things for kids to do. Let them get bored and invent their own games, read a book, listen to music, etc

It's good for them and good for you too. Don't make them rely on you.
