"Everybody needs a bosom for a pillow, everybody needs a bosom", thus began Cornershop in the fiercest homophobic rant known to British pop music. Sure they could dress it up in nice music, make it all catchy like, but that doesn't have an impact on the dark underpinnings.
Believe it or not, Cornershop (yes that - Brimful Of Asha - Cornershop) are still alive and are set to release a new album after seven years of silence. The upcoming record goes by the name of Cornering The Market and its first single is titled The Roll Off Characteristics (Of History In The Making) and it even has a video.
I first saw Cornershop in 1995 supporting Gallon Drunk. They were terrible. They couldn't play, simple as that.

And my computer screen didn't explode when it played. Nike's new ad for Lebron James' Zoom Lebron VIs is called "The Chalk" and is a tribute to Lebron's ritual of throwing chalk into the air at games. Weezy is just in it cause he's cool or something.
