Tim Burgess is a Viking

from an interview in today's London Metro paper

Do you miss the Madchester scene?

We all move on. We came a bit later than Inspiral Carpets, Happy Mondays and Stone Roses, we were about six months behind but, in a lot of ways, the Manchester thing was built up by Factory Records. For me, it started in 1983 when New Order’s Blue Monday came out. It made a 15-year-old kid think music from Manchester could be made and could be global and it meant a lot to me. I went to the Haçienda a lot after that. I followed New Order around, almost stalker-ish.

What's all that about?

Anyway, Burgess choosing to sing the "hitler youth" lyric when he did Lonesome Tonight with Monaco was a bit of a giveaway, wasn't it?
